You can now find scooters all across Wichita, including in the Arkansas River.

We talked to people who walk along the river. They say lately, the river has been littered with Wichita's newest form of transportation.

Todd Loomis took photos of the partially submerged scooters in the water. He said they provide a service to the community so he doesn't know why people would mistreat them.

"I was surprised, I've seen people riding around, but I didn't see them destroyed like that, it's shocking," said Loomis.

Other communities are dealing with the same problem.

In Oregon, more than 50 scooters were pulled from a river in one day earlier this year.

The problem got so bad, local authorities advised people to not park the scooters by the river.
