If bikes are abandoned and not placed in docking stations how are they recharged?

As I recall, Lime used to collect & drop off recharged bikes early each morning around their areas. I used to see them doing this on my early morning commute pre-pandemic.

Funny thing is that you could change this article to read "car" in place of "e-bike" and, with a few tweaks to language, it would also reflect current situations.

From the BBC^» British Broadcasting Corporation - home page):

Quote

Watch as biker crashes into pedestrian

This was the moment an electric motorcycle rider collided with a pedestrian before tumbling from his bike.

Sergiu Stanciu, 18, from Sandfields Road, Port Talbot, admitted to dangerous driving and was sentenced to 14 months in a young offenders institution.

During the hearing at Swansea Crown Court, he was also handed a 19-month riding ban after the incident in his hometown on 20 October last year.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
