I took 3 scooters rides on a 3 miles ride to work and it roughly cost me $4 and took ~22 minutes
I've taken the Jump bike several times and it usually takes just under 15 min to go the same route for only $2
Faster and cheaper wins! :)

As it is, as an NYC resident, I have neither Jump bikes nor shareable electric scooters, so my personal experience is limited. I had no idea that Jump bikes were so cheap -- the cheapest you can get here is the CitiBike, which is non-electric and has a half-hour ride for $3 (cheaper as you get memberships and rides in bulk, but that complex pricing is one of the things that makes it annoying).
Do you know how much of the Jump price is them burning VC money and passing the savings on to you? It seems like the depreciation on the bike is in excess of that amount.
The Ford GoBike which I think it the same program as the CitiBike is rolling out electric assist bikes now too which I believe is $3 for a 30 min ride for the electric. $2 for normal
