That sounds like a problem with scooters rather than specifically with rental scooters. I mean, you can just go get one yourself and still break rules with them.

But the barrier of entry is a lot higher. It's a lot easier for someone to pay a couple of Euros to rent one rather than pay for the whole thing.

what @Estiar@sh.itjust.works said

Also if it is bought by and registered to a specific person, it is a lot easier to identify the person and reprimand them. Furthermore if someone pays a lot of money for a scooter they tend to drive in a way that will not risk damageing or breaking it.
