Review:
PROS:
- Fairly easy work for moderate pay
CONS:
- Must pay for their chargers
- You need to charge at least three scooters at a time
- Pay is scaled per difficulty of finding the scooter:
- Easy ones to find (green on the app) pay $5; Yellow birds pay $10; Red ones pay $20
- If you are late dropping off a scooter (must be dropped off by 7 AM), you keep the scooter for an extra day and it affects your pay; all scooters must be charged within 3 days, or you could be charged for keeping the scooter
