She bought $20k worth of scooters 3 years ago for her small business. Now, the City of Tempe is pumping the brakes.

Boyce-Jones was willing to pay the $8,814 application fee and $1.18 per scooter per day charge that came with the SATV permit, but there was a problem. The permit requires electric scooters to have GPS monitoring and data sharing capabilities as well as self-locking mechanisms.

That seems absurd. What other data needs to be shared? It's like the rules were written by a scooter startup.
