BIRD ES1-300 Electric Scooter-300 Watt Motor, Ground Effect Lights, Front Shock Absorption, UL-2272 Approved, 15.5 MPH and 15.5 Mile Range, Ultra-Lightweight, Electric Scooter for Adults

Alright, so I had never been on an electric scooter before and I gotta be honest. It was way more exciting than I expected. It picks up real quick. I was a little hesitant when riding on the sidewalk because our sidewalks aren't the best around here, and I worried that any small gaps or elevation changes in the cement would catch on the tires and force me to wipe out. But surprisingly, they had enough meat on them to carry me along at a decent speed. Don’t know how the scooter would hold up off-road, but doubt anybody would want to try anyway. So I can see these scooters being pretty sufficient for whatever purpose others may have. Whether it’s just going for a cruise with friends or family, or short commutes to work. You’ll have a good time either way.

The battery life on my scooter only lasts for 6 miles. I wish that i would get the amount of battery life that is advertised.

First , this scooter is awesome. My kids and I rode around the neighborhood seeing friends and family. I drove my mother in law back to her house and put the scooter in the back so I could cruise back home. Went to Home Depot and Chick-fil-A for electronics and electrical outlets. The speed is good. 16 MPH is good and I wouldn't want much faster than that speed for driving. My neighborhood does have some raised sidewalk section which you do have to be careful of but it's not that much to walk past them. Overall, I enjoy the riding.

Very disappointed. Ordered this scooter as a gift. Arrived with No Manual, No screws to assemble and No charger. Will be returning ASAP!!

So disappointed- got for Xmas and it won’t charge! Tried everything.

My wife/Santa got this for me. First, I love it. Fun to ride and quicker than I expected. I’m 208 lbs, so I was worried about speed and range being affected. So far so good. I can hit 15-16 mph easy and battery life seems great compared to other scooters this size. I love the controls, and the lights are great. I just wish this folded, so it was easier to throw in my car. I haven’t tried a foldable scooter like the Segway ES2, so I’m not sure if this rides better by not having a hinge mechanism? I also wish it connected to an app for ride history info, anti theft, and monitoring charging. Couldn’t beat the price at the time though ($379 and we had $240 Amazon points).

I see many people leaving bad reviews that these things are dangerous.... no s***, Sherlock! Would you leave a bad review for a chainsaw for the same reason? Part of why these are so fun IS the element of danger. Ride cautiously, always wear pads, and don’t be stupid! Electric vehicles, whether it be scooters, skateboards, unicycles, or bicycles, are some of the most exhilarating toys you could ever own. I just went on a 1.5 hour, 10.5 mile ride with my wife (her on the Bird and me on my Evolve skateboard), and we haven’t had that much fun together in a long time!

Fast Fun SafeWithin 5 seconds of riding this scooter, I was smiling. It just takes off like nobody’s business. I didn’t think it would be as much fun as it is, since they didn’t look very fast when I’ve seen other people riding em. But I got to 15 miles mph on one of these bad boys. The acceleration never gets stale. There’s a surprising amount of torque coming from such a small frame. I’m an average build guy at 160 lbs, but it’s still surprising how easy and fast it was to get up to speed.
