After months of development, we’re thrilled to announce Have A Go’s micromobility discovery engine!!

A Micro History:

We started Have A Go early last year…before dockless scooter sharing blew up.

It all started with a design challenge: getting rid of cars in large, sprawling, car-centric Los Angeles without relying on unproven new technology or massive new infrastructure spending with the aim of showing that if it can be done in LA, it could be done anywhere.

Is Los Angeles A Global Mobility Sleeping Giant?

Have A GoOctober 26, 2018

LA has a bad, terrible, abhorrent mobility track record. It was just crowned the worst city to bike in the entire country (not a surprise to anyone living here, with most of our streets the size of most other city highways).

Its sprawl is notorious, overshadowed only by its traffic.

And it seems LA has gone out of its way to maintain the status quote, going so far as completely ignore IT’S OWN bike plan and carrying on its deadly, polluting, and carbon emitting car-centric ways.

Where Are The Class Action Lawsuits Against Cities and Car Manufacturers?

Have A GoOctober 23, 2018

Scooter companies are being sued for scooter injuries.

Yet, as we wrote a while ago, scooters aren’t the issue. They’re merely symptoms, exposing the real culprit: decades of dangerous, inflexible, car-centric street design.

Will electric cars save the climate? That’s the wrong question.

Have A GoOctober 18, 2018

After the unveiling of the Model 3, then after the IPCC climate report, there have been a rash of articles asking if electric cars can essentially save the world. The consensus seems to be that if powered mostly by renewable energy, then they might save us from cooking the planet.

We severely disagree.

The Question of Scooter Fleet Management Footprint Can Be Misleading

Have A GoOctober 11, 2018

Advocates of scooters (such as Have A Go) tout the many, many benefits of micromobility. One of these benefits is their tiny carbon footprint.

As scooters proliferate, some are beginning to question just how carbon free they are when fleet management is taken into consideration.

Metamorphasis: When Change Is Beautiful

Have A GoOctober 2, 2018

“Better the devil you know.”

It feel like more than ever, we seem to prefer the hell of today rather than entertain even slightest bit of change.

In Los Angeles, where our streets are near infernos, references to hell are unfortunately more than mere exaggeration…

Our Contrarian View Of Elon Musk: Nuance

Have A GoSeptember 6, 2018

Love him or hate him. That seems to be the only thing people can agree on about Elon Musk.
In anticipation of tonight’s interview with Joe Rogan, we would like to offer our contrarian view of Elon Musk: nuance.
Lots of admiration, lots to critique.

What We Learned From Santa Monica’s Scooter Meeting: A Turf War Without Much Turf

Have A GoAugust 15, 2018

It may seem like a lifetime ago, but Bird made its debut only a year ago on the streets of Santa Monica.

By the summer of 2018 scooters were already the year’s, if not the decade’s, biggest blockbuster. Scooter adoption levels rivaled potentially any other technology in human history and resulting in much analysis in the disruptive potential of these vehicles.

But Bird didn’t manage this alone. Disruption usually doesn’t just happened by just one company.

Dockless The Best Thing To Happen To the Ownership Model: A Smaller Piece Of A Gigantic Pie – Part 2

Have A GoMay 9, 2018

As we discussed in our first post, dockless e-scooter and e-bike sharing companies are actually the best thing to happen to the future of the ownership model of lightweight electric vehicles (LEV) thanks to the elimination of several bottlenecks of LEV adoption thanks…

Vision Zero is Failing Because No One Cares. The Solution? Give City Officials ‘Skin in the Game’

Asher MMay 3, 2018

Cyclists can seem like a self-righteous bunch. But ride a bike down a major street in an American city for more than a mile or two, and you’ll understand why and you’ll either join the chorus — or more likely, you’ll just swear to never do it again. People talk about…
