"If you want to buy an impounded Bird scooter that is so good you need three things — one, you need to find out who owns the kit that you purchased — and two, you need to know who you purchased it from and tell us what the kit does," he wrote.

"You won't get this kit from Boing, as you can see in the picture, but you will get that kit from a group of people who own a lot of scooters. I think that is a pretty good guess."

Doctorow wrote that the company's "personal conversion kit" had been sold to another scooter dealer, a person who was not the scooter manufacturer and had been informed of the problem.

"This person is no longer with us and has left us a free pass to sell an impounded and damaged scooter, but he was asked to remove the items from the scooter in which he purchased them," Doctorow wrote. "We have offered to provide this person with the kit and he agrees to do that, and we will do the same for you."

The scooter manufacturer subsequently removed the purchased items from the scooter.

A spokesperson for Boing Boing, which is currently making some of the toys, didn't immediately return calls for comment.
