Balancing Electric Scooter Usage

Here's an interesting article on how Lime is trying to balance the location of its electric scooters with the demand for them:

A big part of the value proposition of Lime and its counterparts’, like Spin and Bird, is that its scooters and bikes can be easily moved around to meet or create demand because they do not have to be tethered to one location. It’s a process called rebalancing.

It seems like a rather complicated business to me with lots of areas of concern. Still, it's nice to see more creative thinking in regards to solving transportation issues.
