You can now take your e-scooter home with a monthly subscription

Yes, that's an e-scooter inside a house.

If you're renting a Bird or Lime you stick to the streets. But now you can rent an Unagi scooter and take it with you, everywhere. Instead of finding a spot to park on the sidewalk after riding, you can bring it into your house or garage ready for next time you need it. It's a monthly rental that you take home.

Unagi, an Oakland, CA-based scooter maker, is offering two "All Access" plans for riders in New York and Los Angeles starting Wednesday. The first is $39 per month for as many months as you want. You can ride the scooter all day and forget about minute-by-minute rates or the fees per ride common to the scooters you rent through an app.

The other plan is $408 for a full year of scooting, which breaks down to $34 per month. The Model One scooter that each customer receives after subscribing is usually $990 to buy upfront.

There's a $50 setup fee, so the first month will be $84 to $89, depending on which plan you want. For now it's only available in those two cities, but the company said they'd consider expanding depending on how NYC and LA respond to the scooter subscription.

For the monthly fee you get free maintenance (aka a new replacement scooter within 24 hours) and insurance against theft and damage.

It's similar to the Bird monthly scooter plan in San Francisco and Barcelona except you won't confuse your Unagi scooter with any other two-wheeler on the street since Unagi doesn't have a scooter-share service. Bird's subscription is $25 per month.

The Unagi scooter subscription doesn't come with an app or lock, but its screen does tell you your speed, how far you've gone, and your battery level. It should last over 15 miles on a full charge, the company says, with a 4-5 hour recharge time. If you bring it home to charge you don't have to worry about locking it up, but you can always get a lock for when you're on the go.
