About Bird UAE
Bird is a shared electric scooter company founded in the United States in 2017. It operates in cities around the world, including Dubai, where it has been licensed by the Roads and Transport Authority to offer e-scooter rentals.
Users unlock a scooter through the app, ride it to their destination and park it in designated areas, paying per minute. The service is designed for short trips, such as getting from a metro station to an office or exploring a neighbourhood.
Dubai began allowing shared e-scooters in designated zones, such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lakes Towers and other areas with suitable cycling and scooter lanes.
Riders must follow rules set by the RTA, including age limits, riding in permitted lanes, wearing helmets and following speed limits. Violations can lead to fines.
E-scooters are part of Dubai's goal to improve "first and last mile" transport, helping people reach public transport without driving.
Heat limits use during the hottest summer months, while the cooler months see much higher demand.
Bird is a US company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its Dubai operation among the city's micromobility services.
