Bird, a shared micromobility company, and Segway, an electric vehicle innovator, have announced a strategic alliance to roll out advanced new electric scooters and e-bikes across key North American markets. This next-generation fleet combines Segway's engineering ability with Bird's operational expertise to set new standards for performance, safety, and sustainability in urban transportation.

The partnership introduces three co-developed models—the Bird Dash, Bird Explorer, and Bird Journey—designed to meet diverse rider needs, from daily commuting to recreational trips. All three models feature improved vehicle durability, safety systems, and a lower environmental footprint, with deployments beginning this summer across North America.

Stewart Lyons, Co-CEO of Bird, said, "This collaboration brings together the best of what Bird and Segway offer: world-class technology, rider-first design, and innovation to deliver more sustainable urban mobility. Together, we're shaping the future of micromobility by expanding access to safe, reliable, and efficient transportation in cities and communities around the world."

Optimized for Efficiency and Performance

The new vehicles are equipped with IPX7-rated water resistance, reinforced structures, and low-maintenance components that increase reliability and reduce operational costs. The Bird Journey e-bike offers a range of up to 90 kilometers on a single charge—supporting longer commutes with fewer battery swaps. Optimized energy usage lowers standby power and delivers greater efficiency across fleets. These durability and efficiency improvements collectively reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) , delivering long-term value.

Commitment to Safety and Compliance

All three models feature enhanced braking systems (dual drum + electric), bright LED lighting with turn indicators, and onboard sensors to detect sidewalks and pedestrians—triggering alerts and automatic speed adjustments to help prevent collisions. Each model exceeds industry safety benchmarks, including UL2272 and UL2849 certifications.

Designed for Sustainability

Sustainability is embedded into every layer of the new fleet—from recycled materials and modular parts to closed-loop packaging and longer-life batteries. These upgrades support Bird and Segway's shared goal of building a more circular economy and advancing climate-friendly mobility at scale.
