Haha!! The same exact thing happened to me in Warsaw!! Me and my college were walking at night and came across one Lime scooter. And we thought to ourselves ... we don't need to have it electric we'll just pedal a bit and that thing started beeping in the middle of the night like crazy!!
But next morning. We investigated a bit and created account. Charged for 5$ - man once you are on that thing - it really doesn't matter how much it cost!!! If you still have a chance - risk 5$ and i promise you - you won't regret it! =)
We ended up charging 15$ for 4-5 days visit in Warsaw - totally worth it. It makes me wanna buy one at home :// Still resisting tho (for now).
