Workers at Bird, Lime, Skip, and Spin were busy improving their app, retrofitting scooters, and most importantly, figuring out the logistics of distributing thousands of electronic scooters along the sidewalks of the Bay Area.

When we first reported on the possibility of a global shortage of chip capacitors and resistors, things were for the time being, …read more
