<body><div>Just wondering how people are adding locations for electric kick scooter rental. There are a number of pages on the wiki, some in "proposal stage", and others which just seem to have been added ( see <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ElectricScooters#Ambiguous_current_situation_with_.27Scooters.27" style="font-size: 12pt;">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ElectricScooters#Ambiguous_current_situation_with_.27Scooters.27</a> for some examples) with no final consensus.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm aware of the 607 nodes added by CJ Malone for the Beryl bike scheme ( Isle of Wight area added in <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103830110" style="font-size: 12pt;">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103830110</a> but the nodes have no tag to show that these are electric kick scooters.</div><div><br /></div>
<div>It would seem beneficial to add some information to these nodes to show they were for hire of electric kick scooters, and it would seem sensible to have a consensus of how these should be mapped in the UK. If at a later stage the worldwide OSM community does standardise on how they should be tagged then anything we do now should at least enable us to quickly identify which nodes in the UK would need amending to bring into line with intentional mapping practice.</div><div><br /></div><div>David</div><div id="signature_old"></div><div><br /></div>

<div class="plain_line">I have just been given some data from beryl.cc for including in OSM.</div>
<div class="plain_line">They operate a bike rental scheme in a few locations around the</div>

<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">The data provided includes "Beryl Bays" that are places that you</div>
<div class="plain_line">collect a bike, or leave it. And "Service Areas" which are the areas</div>
<div class="plain_line">you can travel on the bikes.</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">How would everyone feel about me adding them?</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">I feel the rental locations clearly belong in OSM.</div>
<div class="plain_line">The service areas may be more questionable, but I think it's valuable</div>
<div class="plain_line">data. Looking at the wiki they are quite close to</div>
<div class="plain_line">public_transport=pay_scale_area, although it doesn't have much usage.</div>

<div class="plain_line">What are everyones opinions?</div>
