Safety First
Your safety is our obsession.
Rider Safety
At Bird, we’re committed to helping our riders stay safe. That’s why we’re always developing new features, videos, and tips with rider safety in mind.
Beginner Mode
Beginner Mode is a gentle acceleration option that lets new riders gradually work their way up to full speed.
Safe Start
Safe Start is an in-app checkpoint designed to discourage people from riding under the influence. Never drink and ride.
Safety School
Riders can become a better driver in a matter of minutes with Safety School.
#BirdHelmetSelfie
Helmet Selfie offers riders incentives, such as future ride credits, in exchange for sharing a selfie of themselves wearing a helmet at the end of their trip.
Smart ID Verification
Riders can instantly verify their official identification.
Winter Rides
Bird is committed to promoting safe riding in all weather conditions. Stay safe while riding in the winter months with these helpful tips.
Smart Sidewalk Protection
Smart Sidewalk Protection
IP68-Rated Battery
Bird has the industry’s only IP68-rated battery—meaning that its electrical enclosure gives it the highest level of protection against dust and water damage out of any other micromobility scooter in the world.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
A unique braking system safeguards riders against potential brake failure and ensures they can always bring the vehicle to a stop.
Real-Time Fault Detection
Daily autonomous fault checks and on-vehicle sensory inputs allow us to observe potential vehicle issues in real time.
Community Safety Zones
City prescribed slow-riding or no-riding zones help protect pedestrians by gradually slowing or stopping vehicles. Bird is working with cities to extend our network of geofenced zones.
Extended Footboard
An increased footboard size on our newest scooters helps to improve rider safety and stability.
Skid Detection
Skid Detection uses Bird’s state-of-the-art vehicle diagnostics and sensor processing capabilities to determine if a skid has occurred, which could indicate service needs.
Standing Out
Bird’s best-in-class vehicles are backed by multiple international and standardized certifications and ratings that make them stand out from the competition.
