I dont need a long document only ideas and basically to know the life CYCLE of the coins, for example, people could buy the tokens with their credit card, getting the tokens credited in their account, and each token is equal a driving time.
As a rule of thumb: if you can do something without a blockchain, you shouldn't use a blockchain.
In this case, you can just sell "hours": the user buys credit that allows him to use the scooter for a certain number of hours. A centralized database can handle this, so there's no need for a (decentralized) tokenized system.

Unless of course you want to go full-on ICO, claim you're going to disrupt the rental industry, cash a few millions, and disappear without ever completing the project. Because this cynical summary is the reality of almost every token project ever created.

As an example of a company doing something similar: Greenwheels offers subscriptions for rental cars. You can choose between several combinations of fixed fee per month, per kilometer or per hour. It allows renting a car for less than an hour, and you only pay for the time you use it. A lower fee per month means a higher fee per km, and users who use it more often can opt for a higher monthly and lower usage fee.
This works without blockchain, it's a "conventional" company which uses a "conventional" database.

One reason to use cryptographic tokens would be to allow anyone to transfer the tokens P2P in an app, but I assume you want to know who's using your scooters (for insurance purposes). That takes away the main advantage tokens could offer.

Update: If you want to pay me for this, I'll post my addy Tongue
Update: payment received.
