Bird Scooters are Back in Downtown Bismarck!

The Bird Scooters are out of hibernation and back on the streets in downtown Bismarck!
Bird Scooter Tips :

You can rent the Bird Scooters through the Bird- Ride Electric app found on a smartphone.
The scooters are to be operated on the street when in Downtown and in bike lanes, similar to a bicycle, and can be ridden in the geofenced area- specific areas within the community.
Users are also encouraged to wear a helmet on every ride and required to obey all standard rules of the road.
Bird users must be 18 years old with a driver’s license to rent a scooter.
