Scoot Bringing Zipcar-like Electric Scooters to San Francisco

Snagging a cab in San Francisco is hard enough and renting a car for a quick blast across town seems like overkill — not to mention finding parking when you arrive. Scoot Networks wants to provide an alternative in the form of pay-as-you-go scooters. And even better, their fleet of two-wheelers are all electric.

Funded by sustainable start-up incubator Greenstart and originally shown at the San Francisco Launch conference, Scoot Networks is the brainchild of founder and CEO Michael Keating, who’s put the program into alpha testing last month with a small fleet of 10 electric scooters.
