Talking point: The past several weeks have been rife with scooter and bike companies racing to expand. In Canada, Uber’s expansion plans include electric bikes, while Bird is eyeing the Canadian market, giving Lime—which launched a pilot project in Waterloo—something to look out for. While companies are still navigating how snow and rain impact their growth plans, a  Lime spokesperson told the Financial Times that each city’s team would adjust its scooter fleets according to the weather; for example, teams could move scooters from cities experiencing winter into warmer cities. Meanwhile, Bird and Lime are facing a class-action lawsuit from a disability-rights group in San Diego, Calif., which says scooters are cluttering sidewalks, making it dangerous for people with disabilities.
