We're going to look back at everything "consumer electronics pink" in a few years and cringe. I'm surprised Bird is willing to let their marketing team further complicate their brand for the sake of short term sales.
Evidence their business model isn’t working out. Their scooters (along with all the other companies) have all but disappeared from my area, where they once littered the sidewalk. Once you fall once or twice on these scooters, it’s hard to ride them again. Especially when it’s the scooter that’s broken, as is often the case. It’s a shrinking market base, consequently. They (Uber-Jump, Lime) should have given incentive…
I hope they fail. The sidewalks in Long Beach are a mess with these scooters. I see kids who are clearly not old enough to drive riding these things around, sometimes three on a scooter. Meanwhile the bike share program bikes now sit unused on the racks. This isn't replacing cars in my area, it is replacing exercise. The beach path is filled with these things, creating a real hazard since the exercise path is now a m…
I hope this trend goes away.

Pretty sure we do actually have he's and she's. "He's being an idiot", or "she's wrong about that."
You're just proving the point: "'s" is only possessive for a noun . Your examples aren't possessives.

One of the bigger arguments is also in the production itself can be not very eco-friendly, eg: creating the batteries themselves.
This is true when you compare similar sized vehicles. If an electric scooter is replacing a car, not an unreasonable assumption in the US, then the emissions savings will be massive.

Everyone is talking about the high price, but they should be talking about the bigger offense — Electric Rose.

what's wrong with having a pink color option?
See Jump for effective use of color. Take note that they only use one…
1. Non folding stem: Adds durability for a rental, but the super quick fold is a huge part of the appeal of a scooter, because it means you can easily take it with you on the train, put it in the trunk of a car, or store it under your desk. If you didn't care about compactness, you'd probably buy an e-bike.
2. Huge battery: Adds to the cost and weight, which makes it more annoying to carry. Great for a rental where Bird is paying per charge, but very few people need to ride 30 miles between charges, and for those that do, they'd probably rather have an e-bike that is faster and more stable.
