Ukukhula okugqabhukileyo kwe-dockless scooters kunye nodumo lwazo oluphikisanayo libali lezendlela elingalindelekanga kulo nyaka.Ixabiso lentengiso yeNtaka kunye neyona nto ikhuphisana nayo iLime iqikelelwa ukuba imalunga neebhiliyoni ezi-2 zeerandi, kwaye ukuthandwa kwabo kuye kwavumela izithuthuthu ezingaphezulu kwama-30 ukuba zisebenze kwiimarike ezili-150 kwihlabathi liphela.Nangona kunjalo, ngokweengxelo ezivela kwiWall Street Journal kunye neNgcaciso, njengoko unyaka wesibini ungena, njengoko iindleko zokusebenza kwezoshishino ziba phezulu nangaphezulu, abatyali-mali balahlekelwa ngumdla.
Njengoko iinkampani zezithuthuthu zikufumanisa kunzima ukuhlaziya iimodeli esitalatweni, ukonakaliswa kunye neendleko zokuhla kwexabiso nazo zinefuthe.Olu lulwazi ngo-Okthobha, kwaye nangona la manani enokuthi aphelelwe lixesha, abonisa ukuba ezi nkampani zizama ukwenza inzuzo.
Intaka yathi kwiveki yokuqala kaMeyi, inkampani ibonelele nge-170,000 yokukhwela ngeveki.Ngeli xesha, inkampani yayiphethe ii-scooters zombane ezimalunga ne-10,500, nganye isetyenziswa amaxesha amahlanu ngosuku.Inkampani yathi i-scooter yombane nganye inokuzisa i-3.65 yeedola kwingeniso.Kwangaxeshanye, intlawulo yeNtaka kuhambo ngalunye lwesithuthi yi-1.72 yeedola zase-US, kwaye i-avareji yeendleko zokulondoloza isithuthi ngasinye yi-0.51 yeedola zase-US.Oku akubandakanyi imali yekhadi letyala, imali yelayisensi, i-inshurensi, inkxaso yabathengi, kunye nezinye iindleko.Ngoko ke, ngoMeyi walo nyaka, ingeniso yeveki yeNtaka ibimalunga ne-US$602,500, ethe yathotyelwa yindleko yokugcina i-US$86,700.Oku kuthetha ukuba inzuzo yeNtaka ngokukhwela i-$0.70 kwaye ingeniso yengeniso yi-19%.
Ezi ndleko zokulungisa zinokunyuka, ngakumbi ukuqwalasela iindaba zamva nje malunga nokutsha kwebhetri.Ngo-Okthobha odlulileyo, emva kwemililo emininzi, i-Lime ikhumbule ii-scooters ze-2,000, ngaphantsi kwe-1% yeenqwelo zayo ezipheleleyo.Ukuqala kutyhola iNinebot, evelisa uninzi lwezithuthuthu zombane ezisetyenziswa kwiinkonzo ekwabelwana ngazo eUnited States.I-Ninebot yaqhawula ubudlelwane bayo kunye neLime.Nangona kunjalo, ezi ndleko zokulungisa azithatheli ngqalelo iindleko ezinxulumene nokutshabalalisa.Bekhuthazwe ngamaqonga onxibelelwano, oomatshini bokulwa izithuthuthu babawisa esitratweni, babakhuphela ngaphandle kwegaraji, bade bagalela i-oyile phezu kwabo babasa.Ngokweengxelo, ngo-Okthobha kuphela, isixeko sase-Oakland kwafuneka sisindise izithuthuthu zombane ezingama-60 ukusuka eLake Merritt.Izazi ngendalo zikubiza oku ngokuba yingxaki.
