Arlington, Virginia, USA is still in a pilot of dockless eScooters with several who have them around. The paid a fee to be considered and number limited with payment. Competing companies. Some packing like spaces (paint spray on pavement) near MetroRail stations recently announced.
Not sure the rest of the DC area jurisdictions, but Arlington claims to be forward thinking. Arlington adopted bikeshare before much larger Fairfax County ~26? square miles, vs ~700 or so,...). I've seen several companies wandering thru towards DC and Maryland going towards Baltimore. University of Maryland, incorporated towns/cities, etc.
I was a member when offered to powder income, but so on off it was very frustrating bordering upon cruel... CaBi has some eBikes, but I've not tried them...
WABA did a comparison of bikeshares a while back, time, cost, process to checkout / race type thing.
Sorry no links handy.
Like Paris I think some are ready to Chuck the share in the river or something. The eScooters I've seen. Many places where would not want them, not allowed and some destroyed/broken and in the way/blocking streets and sidewalks. Wearing helmets and sticking to rules of where they are allowed (onstreet with cars, Not in parks, rules/laws largely ignored like skateboards) as they are being adopted seems to be the purpose of the pilot besides a runoff among competing vendors, imnsho...
Full disclosure: I bought a cheap off brand small folding eBike about a year ago, using disabled status pushing the limits of access and acceptability as a wheel chair equivalent, informally. I blogged about it, and CaBi crap, if you call it writing, more like public complaining.
I've seen articles of mountains of stored and excess bikeshares and one local Coop (VeloCity with at least one person posting on here, Ron?) sold off some that withdrew from the DC market, ofo iirc.
