- Bird Global, Inc. (BRDS-WT) operates as a micromobility company that provides electric transportation solutions for short-distance travel, offering shared e-scooters and e-bikes through its mobile app and bird.co platform; it also sells vehicles directly to distributors, retailers, and customers. The company maintains operations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and other regions including Canada, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, China, Mexico, and Japan, serving urban riders seeking sustainable alternatives to car trips. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, Bird Global focuses on lightweight electric vehicles deployed in over 350 cities worldwide.
Bird Global delivers its core services through segments including vehicle sharing for on-demand access via the Bird app, a platform enabling independent operators to manage branded fleets with customizable pricing, zoning, and operations software, and retail sales of e-scooters and e-bikes such as the Bird Zero model designed for enhanced range, visibility, and durability.
In recent developments, Bird Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 20, 2023, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida to restructure and sell assets; its plan transitioned to Chapter 11 liquidation approved on August 1, 2024, with most operations acquired by Third Lane Mobility Inc. for approximately $145 million in April 2024 via a credit bid process involving first- and second-lien lenders. Prior to these events, the company acquired competitor Spin from TIER for $19 million in September 2023 and faced delisting from the New York Stock Exchange due to low share price. Canadian and European operations remain unaffected by the U.S. proceedings, positioning the restructured entity under Third Lane Mobility for sustainable growth with a focus on regulator-friendly fleet management.
