    The only actual video I could find. It was self explanatory but I have ocd when it comes to things in public lol. I don’t wanna look dumb if it doesn’t work.

      @@markcodysr lmaoooo!!! 💀 that’s literally me. I legit have done that a few times before I finally figured out how the damn kickstands work. I thought mine got locked by someone else so I just ended up leaving and being charged for about 10min 🤦🏽‍♂️.
      Then on my way back I tried again and ended up getting my finger caught in the kickstand and started leaking. I wasn’t even mad that I was bleeding, I was mad that I failed twice in front of the busiest restaurant AND got injured doing something so simple.
      Glad I’m not the only one 😂

    Renting a Bird scooter is great exercise. After walking blocks to a Bird scooter, the scooter either will not move, have 1/10th of the stated charge, will take off and ride fine then suddenly stop for no reason and not move again even though the app says the scooter still has '10 miles' of charge, or the scooter will not be at the site when you arrive even though you checked the app multiple times while walking to the location. Or if you are really luck you will walk blocks to the nearest Bird scooter to find it in 'sleep' mode after you just checked its availability on the app. But don't worry, even though you didn't get to ride that Bird you spent 20 minutes trying make move Bird will still charge you for it.

I seen a kid riding one and hop off and chunk it in the grass. Wtf is wrong with people now days. You might say that the kid scooter was giving him problems. Hell no he was doing just fine. He was just done with it. And instead of parking it he chunks it.

      The companies don't care if they get stolen. They get these scooters like $10.00 each (possibly cheaper) from the factory. They get the money back after 2 days of use. So if say 1 is stolen every 3 days they are still making money on it.

      It won't let you even buy it if the battery is too low. It'll tell you "battery is too low". What else is pretty cool is... Bird pays people to charge their scooters. Anybody who is anybody can take them home and charge them, and it's set up in the app to where bird will pay you direct deposit for every scooter you charge and take back to a populated, safe place. They've thought of everything! Lol.
