COMPARED AND TESTED: 4 DIFFERENT RIDE SHARING E-SCOOTERS - WHICH IS BEST AND WORST!

EV Channels Review

This video compares four different ride-sharing e-scooters: Lime, Bird, Lyft, and Razor, tested in Denver in the summer of 2018. The reviewer highlights significant differences in performance, features, and reliability. The Razor scooter is noted for its rear-wheel drive and comfortable ride due to larger tires, but suffers from a sticky throttle issue and poor reliability, with many units found to be dead. The Lime scooter emerges as the performance leader, being the fastest and feeling the most high-quality, though its small wheels are a concern for stability at speed. The Bird and Lyft scooters are essentially the same model, with Lyft offering the convenience of using its existing app. While the Lime scooter is crowned the winner for performance and reliability, the review raises serious safety concerns across all models, particularly regarding braking distances, the potential for sticky throttles (especially on the Razor), and the common practice of riding on sidewalks amongst pedestrians. The lack of enforcement for helmet use is also noted.
