ScootRadar shows them all, so the nearest scooter is simply the nearest one. KNOW THE WALK Distance and walking time from where you stand, or from an address you look up. Directions draws the way on foot on the map and follows you as you walk. SKIP THE FLAT ONES Battery and remaining range, where the operator publishes them. Set a minimum and the map keeps only the scooters that reach it. PRICE BEFORE YOU COMMIT An estimate from the operator's published rates for a ride of 5 to 30 minutes, with the free unlocks and free minutes of your passes taken into account.
