If they stocked n-thousand of these scooters, why not see how many people are willing to buy them (at 600% markup)? They already have whatever economies of scale for stocking the scooters for their rental business.

Yeah why not? Just charge a price and see what happens. Willingness to pay is based on value perception and that's a hard thing to gauge.

I'm not seeing a rosy path to victory though.
