From the news articles that I've read, it seems to me that CoV is not looking into having any company do e-scooter ride shares for their test pilot, so it'll only be private e-scooter owners riding around. At least one of the North Shore municipalities -- I forgot which one(s) -- is looking to have ride share companies with the test pilot project.
From the various comments that I've read, e-scooter ride shares programs seem to result in douchebag renters dumping scooters all over the place on, esp on the sidewalk, and making a mess of the city streets. So personally, I'm glad that CoV has no plans to invite that kind of trouble onto itself.

On a different topic, I'm looking into how much power you'd need to sensibly ride around in Vancouver. I'm guessing that riding uphill from Marine would be a pipe dream for all but the most expensive (and heavy) e-scooters. Would any owners / riders care to comment on how much power (wattage) your e-scooter have, and how steep a hill you'd be able to take, even if it was only at walking speed?
