Affordable and convenient

Got banned for reporting an incident

I reported an accident that happened to me when I was on it a few weeks back and the manager from Wellington called me and had to ban my account. Still a fun thing but I guess they’re just salty.

Cheap

Flamingo scooters are the BEST

I recently tried Flamingo scooters and overall had a pretty solid experience. The setup process was quick and straightforward—the app is easy to navigate, and unlocking a scooter only takes a few seconds. I appreciated how widely available the scooters were in busy areas, which made it convenient to grab one when I needed it.
The ride itself was smooth for the most part. The scooters accelerate steadily and feel stable, even for someone who doesn’t use them often. They’re great for short trips around the city, especially when you want to avoid traffic or skip public transport. The pricing felt reasonable compared to similar services, though costs can add up if you’re using them frequently or for longer distances.
One downside is that not all scooters are in perfect condition—some had minor wear and tear, like slightly worn brakes or lower battery levels than expected. It would be nice to see more consistent maintenance across the fleet. Parking can also be a bit tricky depending on local rules, and you need to be mindful to avoid extra fees.
Overall, Flamingo scooters are a convenient and fun way to get around for short distances. They’re not perfect, but they do the job well and are a great option when you need a quick, flexible ride.

It’s just great

It’s just great!! The pricing is pretty good, can go an extreme speed for a scooter and you can get free minutes showing how active the app is. My first ride was when my friends were always using them to go to town. So, I downloaded the.app, hopped ons scooter and sent it downhill and the experience was amazing!!!

Great fun and very user friendly also The free ride minutes given as a reward for good parking is something the competitors are lacking I choose flamingo everytime

idk

Scam

Scammed

Useless

We paid the daily pass but it doesn’t work.

Good app

Good app

Speedy and cheaper

Not as solid and stable compared to Lime so beginners could have trouble especially as the accelerator is more sensitive, but great otherwise and cheaper nz owned option.

Service

Excellent service, perfect.

service

if you haven’t tried a flamingo yet, give it a go. 3 of many reasons:

- the scooters are always well maintained (almost. it’s a share service after all!)
- their service is excellent. anytime i’ve been in contact, or had a problem, their people are on it. sometimes preemptively or almost in real time.
- i’m primarily a walker and cyclist. when the weather is off or i’m outta time, a flamingo saves.

3 more:
- they give out ride credit for good parking
- i can’t remember the last time i had an issue with the app
- the service is affordable. and great value. especially as they lowered their prices recently. support an NZ company!

It is so fun and I like it so much and it is so fast and easy to ride

Rubbish

Just simply a rubbish app to use. A flappy helmet lock that is removable and can be easily lost. No idea why it replaced Lime in my area.
