Scooters rule. Ask anyone who owns one and they'll tell you how they make mincemeat of traffic jams, blow raspberries at parking restrictions, laugh in the face of congestion charges and zip from A to B faster than you can yell 'mind the doors'.
Electric powered:
no exhaust needed!
It might look like a hip, twist-and-go commuter scooter - and it is - but this fully road legal steed is also 100% electric. Do not adjust your eyes, we said it's 100% electric. No fumes, no noise, no emissions and no visits to the gas station. You don't even have to fork out on road tax and parking is free in a lot of cities. Incredible, especially seeing as the Street Scoota costs under a grand *cue sound of eyeballs plopping out and jaws plummeting to the ground*.
Make your city clean!
Go on... overtake the
milk float!

*8p is an approximate cost based on an 8 hour charge
Charging the Street Scoota couldn't be easier. Just plug it into the nearest mains socket. Yes, really. It's that simple. An eight hour charge gives around 40 miles of eco-friendly scootering, but a three hour quick charge is more than enough to get you from A to B, or even C to Z, in any UK city.StreetScoota Controls...
You won't have to worry about hefty bills because this hi-tech bike costs a forehead-slappingly measly 8p to charge. That's around ¼p per mile. You'll spend ten times that on deodorant if you continue squishing in with the sweaty lemmings on the train. Mmmm...armpits and morning breath.

Scooter Registration Process:
Delivery and returns:
Very Important. Please read the information included in the following link (Download Registration Process PDF 85 KB), which covers the registration process and the steps YOU need to take to register your Scoota:
Before you can ride your new Street Scoota on public roads it needs to be registered with the DVLA (this includes obtaining a tax disc and having a registration plate fitted). Firebox can help you with this registration and help make the process easier. You will need to send the relevant paperwork to our supplier (full address & details in the 'Registration Process' link above) and then the following will be returned by registered post within approximately 10 working days:
- Tax disc
- Number plate with fixing screws
- Certificate of conformity (for safekeeping)
Delivery and returns:
- Delivery will be around 2 weeks (immediate stocks) and then, registration will take a further (approximate) 10 days, following that. This will allow you to inspect the bike, make sure you are happy with it and then return it, if not satisfied, before taking the final step.
- The Ego Street Scoota is exempt from our usual 30-day Returns Policy; The returns period is limited to seven working days following the day of receipt as per the right to cancel under the European Distance Selling Regulations, and you shall be responsible for the cost of return.
Click here for more information on Returns.
This does not affect your statutory rights.
-
There is normally a 7 working day cooling off period to allow for the decison to return this product (if you change your mind etc) during which the registration process is put on hold. If you decide categorically that you do not want to return the Scoota within this period and therefore do not want to have to wait for the 7 days to elapse, please contact Firebox at info@firebox.com
We can then set in motion the registration process immediately. However please note that once the Scoota becomes registered, it is then not possible to return this product as unwanted. This does not affect your statutory rights
Order Process:
- Step 1: Order (or pre-order) the Ego Electric Street Scoota. When stock arrives we will charge your card and the supplier will contact you to organise a convenient delivery date. Delivery will be around 2 weeks (immediate stocks) and then, registration will take a further (approximate) 10 days, following that. This will allow you to inspect the bike, make sure you are happy with it and then return it, if not satisfied, before taking the final step.
- Step 2: Whilst you are awaiting delivery of your Scoota, you can start the registration and/or insurance process. Please see above. NB: Once you register the Scoota you are no longer eligible to return it as unwanted within the normal '7 working day cooling off period'. More info in the 'Delivery and returns' section above.
- Step 3: When your Scoota is delivered, you have completed your registration process, and have your insurance, then you are ready to go go go!

Press Reviews...
"I could easily see myself commuting to work in this come rain or shine."
"I was expecting the electric scooter to feel very tinny and the ride to be insecure - far from it. It's coping with the speed bumps and pot holes of a classic London Street extremely well. I'm very impressed, this is a good ride!"

"How do you fancy zipping around town tax free, without paying congestion charges, using bus lanes like your own private motorway and coughing up just a quarter of a penny for each mile? No, we’re not making it up - it’s all possible with Firebox’s ultra-cheap electric scooter."

I was going to buy a small car, until I found out about the Scoota. At first it's a bit strange but you will love it - even the looks you get make you smile. Must buy for anyone.Karl@lukar.co.uk, Stockport - Apr '09
At 1st I did not like it, now I need 1.Chris Willis, Lymm - Nov '08
8p a charge? 8 PENCE!?!? That would get me about 300m on the tube using my Oyster card. I reckon this will have paid for itself in savings within a year !Phill Towns, London - Nov '08
I was very tempted with this bike until I got a insurance quote. I am 46 years old been driving for 25 years(cars and lorries) never had an accident and it will cost me MORE than I pay for my car!!!! Why should I bother?G Halliwell, Derby - Jun '09
Looks superb, my daughter wants one. Are they legal for a 16 the same as a 50cc moped ?Firebox says: Yes she will need to have a provisional scooter licence and complete the CBT training just like for a scooter.
Ashley, United Kingdom - Jun '09
I'm 6foot 4inch tall. Is that too tall for this bike?Firebox says: I'd say you'd be fine Russell!
Russell Bailey, Leicester - Jun '09
I wonder if you could fit solar panels to this, so it would trickle charge itself during the day ? Great idea, and I really like the look of the scooter. Well done for Green Transport :oD.Spikey DaPikey, Lancs - Apr '09
Does the scooter have a large enough storage space to store a helmet??Firebox says: I'm afraid not, Andrew. However you could buy some saddlebags or paniers and attach them on!
Andrew, Lowestoft - Jan '09
I got mine in November. There is a faff factor with getting the gear on in winter, but once you are in the routine, you can cut down the time taken to get ready. Obviously it will be easier in better weather.
I can carry a reasonable amount of shopping, but you have to be careful about the size of the items. Christmas wrapping paper rolls were a challenge, but I managed to tie them to me :)
Parking is so easy. You can park anywhere, though I like to park where I can attach the front wheel to something solid.
Up hills it goes about 20-25mph, which is fine (faster than I would cycle). Down hills its about 30mph. I even managed to do 37mph on a downhill slope :) (NB: it was a 40mph limit)
I love it to bits. It's such fun to ride. Get one, you wont be sorry!
Does anyone else in Glasgow have one?Gill, Glasgow - Jan '09
What type of batteries does this Scooter use, lead acid or does it use the higher capacity and lighter lithium-ion (like laptop batteries). Lastly I have a full bike license but I know 50cc equivalents like this are restricted to 30mph so people with L plates can ride them. It says 30mph restricted on your advert, is it possible to de-restrict this?Firebox says: Unfortunately, the speed on this Scoota is restricted and cannot be changed I am afraid. :(
