A fleet of 200 bikes were deployed this week
across the Seattle metro area
Bird, a global leader in micro-mobility and current e-scooter
operator in Seattle, is thrilled to announce the launch of their
cutting-edge e-bikes in the vibrant Emerald City, continuing its
mission to make cities more livable by reducing car usage, traffic,
and carbon emissions.
Bird's expansion into the e-bike market in Seattle aligns with
the city’s progressive transport infrastructure and commitment to
sustainable transportation. The new fleet of e-bikes is expected to
further enhance the mobility options available to Seattle's
residents and visitors, allowing them to easily navigate the city
while reducing their carbon footprint. Bird is launching an initial
fleet of 200 e-bikes and will increase in the coming months.
"We're excited to introduce our state-of-the-art e-bikes to the
dynamic city of Seattle," said Stewert Lyons, President of Bird
Global. "As part of our ongoing commitment to providing convenient,
affordable, and eco-friendly transport solutions, we're confident
that our e-bikes will become a beloved fixture within the city’s
existing transportation ecosystem."
“After a year of partnering with Bird to provide access to
e-scooters,” said Becky Edmonds, Shared Mobility Program Manager at
Seattle Department of Transportation. “We’re excited Bird is
launching e-bikes in Seattle to provide even more access to climate
friendly transportation options. Transportation is the largest
contributor to greenhouse gasses in Seattle and bike riding is one
of the many solutions we are focused on as we work toward Seattle
becoming carbon neutral by 2050.”
Bird's e-bikes are equipped with electric assist technology that
adapts to the rider's natural pedaling style, offering a smooth and
comfortable ride even over Seattle's hilly terrain. The bikes, like
Bird's e-scooters, feature integrated GPS capabilities and can be
easily locked and unlocked using the Bird mobile app, ensuring a
seamless user experience.
This expansion is a testament to Bird's commitment and further
investment to eco-conscious transportation and marks a significant
milestone in their efforts to shape the future of urban commuting
in Seattle.
