 The first production scooter, the "Sport", was released by Go-Ped in 1985.Recently, electric kick scooters (e-Scooters) have grown in popularity with the introduction of scooter-sharing systems that use apps allowing users to rent the scooters by the minute.These have been introduced in large cities such as Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Atlanta, Austin, and Washington, D.C. Other large cities such as Seattle are trying to keep scooter sharing companies out until they can modify laws and roads to make them safer.
