The Bird Scooter has mechanical brakes front and rear with antilock braking plus electrical braking. A coil suspension in front absorbs some road shocks and helps to minimize bouncing. An 8-inch tire in front and 7.5-inch rear tire also smooth the ride.


A digital LED display in the middle of the handlebar shows speed and battery level. The handlebar also has thumb controls for the throttle, brakes, and a horn. The scooter has an LED headlight, brake light, and front and ground effect lights for safety and style.

The Bird Scooter is built from a combination of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and high-density polymer. The result is an urban micromobility alternative with a 220-pound capacity payload (rider and backpack).

The Bird Electric Scooter weight 27.6 pounds, which makes it easy to carry. The only drawback is the scooter handle doesn’t fold, which makes storage less convenient to store, plus it can be awkward on elevators or in crowded spaces.

Bird ES1-300 measures 38.9-inches long x 9.1-inches wide and 22.7-inches high. When you park the scooter, a convenient kickstand on the front left side of the deck keeps it upright.

According to Bird, the ES1-300 is UL-2272 Certified to meet Underwriter Laboratories standards. The UL testing includes the electrical system, the mechanical components, and environmental factors.

Normally priced at $599, the Bird ES1-300 Electric Scooter is just $349 for 24-hours, ending at midnight tonight, December 22. If you’re looking for an electric scooter as a jaw-dropping gift or for yourself, take advantage of this awesome price.

Amazon slashes price of AirPods Pro before Prime Day 2020
airpods pro staples deal cyber monday 2020 hot

As October 13 and 14 rapidly approach, the early Prime Day deals just keep rolling in. Among the many Prime Day AirPods deals, Amazon has significantly discounted the Apple AirPods Pro by $30. The usual $249 price tag now reads $219 in honor of Amazon's annual markdown event. The Apple AirPods Pro are largely considered one of the best -- if not the best -- wireless earbuds on the market, so this is one deal that you won't want to let slip away. But remember: This is an early Prime Day deal, which means that it's highly unlikely for Amazon to make these headphones available for any cheaper than they are now. You'll definitely want to pull the "checkout" trigger before it's too late.

Although considered more high-tech than the original AirPods model -- they are advertised as "pro" after all -- the Apple AirPods Pro are still remarkably portable and user-friendly. The wireless charging case can hold over 24 hours of listening time at full battery, so you never have to worry about them losing steam on a busy day. Plus, the case's sleek, lightweight, and durable design make the earbuds easy to slip into bags and pockets without causing too much concern over any possible damage.
