The streets of San Francisco are getting overrun with venture-backed scooters.

The creators of Boosted Boards, the popular skateboards with remote-controlled electric motors, have launched Skip, yet another dockless electric scooter company. They’ve raised $6 million to bring their vision of electric scooters to life from A Capital, and Initialized Capital, which is run by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, TechCrunch reported today (May 17). Skip joins the ranks of LimeBike, Spin, Bird, and myriad bike companies dumping their vehicles around the City By The Bay. Between them, the companies have now raised over $260 million in venture capital for effectively the same idea.
