This definitely is a different way to get around town.

Named "Bird One," the scooter's battery will be twice the size of the rental version and can last four to six hours with a 30-mile range. It also boasts a faster takeoff and it's GPS-enabled, according to the company. 

The scooter will come in three colors, Jet Black, Dove White and Electric Rose. 

According to the company’s website, scooters can be preordered for $1,299.

Is this something you would try out?
