As pedestrian unhappiness about the onslaught of electric kick scooter fleets is mounting, Parisians have taken to throwing the scooters into the Seine to be rid of them. Now a startup called Guppy has emerged to retrieve the submerged scooters using magnets.

That’s not all that Guppy managed to dredge up from the Seine in their first outings – the tweet below shows just how many various traffic items wind up in the French capital’s river.

Voici les résultats de la pêche du jour :
58 trottinettes 🛴
11 vélos 🚲
6 barrières 🚧
2 scooters 🛵
et d’autres objets insolites comme…1 four !
Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui sont venus aujourd’hui pour participer ou pour nous encourager. 😁 pic.twitter.com/huXhSCVOVq
