Electric scooter rental company Scoot Networks is making its first foray out of San Francisco and expanding to Barcelona, Spain, next year. The company, headquartered in the South of Market area, owns a fleet of red electric scooters that can be rented in half-hour increments for $3 to $5. The distinctive mini-vehicles can be seen all around San Francisco, parked along the street in residential areas or zipping through the city’s often-congested streets. Scoot Networks has a few employees in Barcelona and is hiring several more, said Stephen Rodriguez, vice president of growth.
