Sounds ridiculous, especially the angle of "a fittness product", because you could just walk, or run.

But maybe the fun/innovation option is reasonable? Think of it as rent-a-toy... all kinds of fun things strewn in the streets, costing only cents to have a play on. Even, with a try-before-you-buy aspect, but everywhere, no need to visit a store.

The theft issue has been kinda-solved by the e-scooter pioneers.
