Episode Details

Bolt’s new electric scooters and bikes in Liverpool are sparking chaos—literally—with hundreds dumped haphazardly across streets. The company, which launched 2,000 scooters and 150 e-bikes in February, faces backlash echoing past failures by Voi and Liverpool’s own bike scheme, which shut down due to theft, vandalism, and $300K annual losses. Bolt’s fighting back with daily repositioning crews, rider photo verification, distance-based pricing, and GPS parking zones—with a buffer for drift. Citizens can report misparked scooters too. They’re confident they’ll “get this sorted,” but the clutter problem is far from solved.
