Electric scooter companies say their ability to operate in San Diego is being severely hampered by city regulations combined with a sharp rise in scooter thefts.
A spokesperson for, the only other company that still operates scooters in San Diego, agreed that binational theft is the No. 1 issue facing the local scooter industry.
But she said there are no plans to eliminate or amend the sidewalk throttling rule, which was added to the city’s municipal code when the City Council approved a sweeping scooter crackdown in August. Muto said she is optimistic the new package of regulations, including the controversial sidewalk throttling rule, can work moving forward.
Lime officials say the technology behind sidewalk throttling hasn’t advanced enough for it to be deployed widely by scooter companies, stressing that no other cities require it. Muto said critics exaggerate the drawbacks of speed throttling and the challenges it presents to scooter companies.
