　　Passage 1

　　Over the past year, dockless electric scooters have descended on city sidewalks almost as if　fell from the sky. From Austin, Texas, to Denver to Cambridge, Mass., there compact　two-wheelers are leading what researchers are calling the “micro-mobility revolution”. But their　arrival has not been without controversy. A survey of 7,000 people by the research firm Populous　found that 3.6 percent of people reported using scooters in the relatively short time they’ve been　available, which is a quicker adoption rate than competitors such as dockless bikes. Nearly 70　percent of people view dockless scooters positively, the report also found. “The adoption of these　new services has been quite remarkable in terms of new mobility services is accelerating, ”　Populous CEO Regina Clewlow says.

　　Many of those surveyed view dockless scooters as a fun and easy way to get around the city,　Clewlow says. According to the report, riders say dockless scooters complement public　transportation and can replace short rides in a personal car rather than a taxi. They can also　support a car-free lifestyle. And they’re cheap to ride, too. They cost about $1 to unlock and then　15 cents per minute. Users download an app, enter their credit card information and locate　available scooters in their area. “ Because so many people are accustomed to using their　cellphones to call a personal car or now unlock a car-sharing vehicle, the idea of being able to　unlock a dockless electric scooters feel quite natural,” Clewlow say.

　　But those who enjoy riding these scooters may constitute a silent majority. In fact, dockless　scooters and bikes have drawn the anger of some residents who say they’re a nuisance. People　weave in and out of traffic at speeds of up to 15 mph, often without helmets, and when they’re　done riding, they discard the scooters in the middle of sidewalks, according to reports.

　　Local governments are also struggling to keep up. In San Francisco, St. Louis and Milwaukee,　among other cities, electric scooter companies deployed hundreds of scooters unannounced or　without permission from the city. Some cities have completely banned scooters by issuing　cease-and-desist orders. For example, San Francisco ordered electric scooters companies to stop　operations until they applied for permits. The same thing happened in Cambridge and Somerville,

　　Mass., just days after scooters were dropped on the streets. Patrick Sisson, a reporter with the　website Curbed, told NPR News that the confusion over how to regulate dockless scooters is　similar to how local government reacted to the rise of personal cars’ ride-sharing services. City　officials are completely caught off guard and unprepared.
