Consumer Reports recently wrote an article about a speed glitch based on the information they found on the ScooterTalk forum. The glitch impacts the Segway Ninebot e-scooter in the fleets on Bird, Lyft, VOI, and more.

By following a few simple steps the scooter will rocket past the governed speed implemented by the city to 20+ mph (30+ kph).

Here are the steps:

(1) Begin riding the scooter

(2) While holding the throttle down press hard with your foot on the rear fender break to bring the scooter to a brief stop

(3) While continuing to hold the throttle release your foot from the rear fender

(4) The scooter will rocket to 20+ mph (30+ kph)

The influx of traffic has been a great surprise. I've contacted the host and updated the plan to handle the activity. They informed me the issue will be fixed soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you for checking out Scooter Talk. Hope you enjoy!
