Scooter providers Bird and Lime, and scooter makers Segway and Xiaomi, face a lawsuit in Los Angeles, Calif., claiming that the two-wheeled tech toys are poorly manufactured and maintained.

The complaint, which aspires to be certified as a class action, was filed earlier this month in a Los Angeles Superior Court by McGee, Lerer & Associates, on behalf of nine plaintiffs who claim to have been injured while riding the electric scooters or after tripping over scooters left lying on the sidewalk.
