Ojo electric smart scooters on display at the CES electronics conference Jan. 9 in Las Vegas. Already home to thousands of electric scooters, many of them crowding downtown sidewalks, the Central Texas city will be the first to experience a new generation of shareable electric scooters from an Oxnard, Calif.-based company called Ojo Electric (pronounced oh-Joe). Unlike well-known scooter companies such as Bird and Lime, Ojo’s models are bulkier and include a seat. News that another electric-scooter company was launching in Austin met with mixed reactions online. Like other electric-scooter companies, Ojo says it has the ability to control scooter speeds and geo-fence locations.
