    I can see the argument.

    I am a Swede, and will make a comparison to Swedish law, I don’t know if this law is the same in the UK butnit makes sense.

    Here you have a legal requirement to make sure that no unauthorized person is able to drive your car, leaving the keys in the car and walking away is illegal.

    I can see the argument that Lime failed to secure their scooters against use by unauthorized use well enough.

      These are pedal bikes no? We have no license needed for those or restrictrions on who can use them that I’m aware of.

          Looks like you’re right, though I’m not sure if they are peddle-assist or not. Never used one myself.

          Neither need a license as far as I know (correct me if I’m wrong).
