.fluidfreeride is San Francisco’s first dedicated e-scooter showroom and repair shop. Here, you can test ride and take home 22 different e-scooter varieties, ranging from $500 lightweight commuter models to $5,000 all-terrain two-wheelers.

There’s little reason to visit 11th Street between Folsom and Harrison during the day. On the block that hosts some of San Francisco’s biggest nightclubs — Audio, Yolo, DNA Lounge — even the buildings look like they could use some sunglasses and a cup of coffee.

The store, which opened in April, is selling about two scooters per day, Mollica said, and also does brisk business repairing and re-selling scooters that people bought online. “The greatest thing about the shared thing is it got a lot of people's hands on scooters,” said Mollica, who previously worked for the now-defunct scooter share startup Skip. “They have that moment where it’s like, ‘Wow, I can't believe how fun it was, how easy it was and how quick it got me to where I was going.’”

Bruce points to a trove of data indicating that the future of e-scooters is personally owned rather than shared. Segway , one of the largest scooter manufacturers in the world, reported in May that it had produced a total of 1.5 million scooters for shared companies, and an additional 8.5 million for personal use.
