Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting electric scooters are described herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods facilitate a “snaking” configuration of attaching, coupling, or fixing multiple electric scooters to one another. The snaking configuration enables multiple electric scooters to be collected together and moved to various locations, such as locations where the electric scooters can be rented, serviced, and so on. Further, the systems and methods enable any electric scooter to act as a collecting scooter, and thus a scooter share service or other fleet of scooters can manage the collection and provisioning of scooters in a location without special vehicles or equipment, among other benefits.

Abstract: Various electric scooter docking stations are described herein. In some embodiments, the electric scooter docking stations facilitate collection, movement, and/or storage of the electric scooters in a compact, elegant, and efficient configuration. For example, the electric scooter docking stations can be configured to take advantage of a unique shape of an electric scooter, providing the storage and positioning of many electric scooters in a compact area. Also, the electric scooter docking stations can be simple structures that facilitate self-powered movement of electric scooters within the electric scooter docking stations.
