San Francisco-based company Lime plans to introduce its electric scooters in the two cities over the next month. He said while it was an operational challenge to get all these scooters charged every night it made things look nicer for the cities. The scooters do not come with helmets because technically they were not required, Mr Swanson said. The scooters do have a number of safety features including a front headlight, side reflectors, rear lights and a bell.
