Bird Updates
Coming Soon: Replacing QR Codes
QR Codes are an important part of a Bird's ridability — if the QR code is damaged or missing, Riders cannot easily unlock a Bird. Our newest feature that will be released soon will allow you to easily replace and reassign QR codes within the app.
Introducing the OKB Model Scooter
Our fleet of scooters is constantly growing and evolving to give our Riders the best experience on the road. We’re excited to announce that we’re launching another new scooter type — The OKB model scooter.
The OKB model scooter has an external case on the front of the neck with the BIRD logo, a thicker neck, and wider base than the other models.
Check out the model repair guide for more information and how to do repairs.
The OKB model scooter is currently flying in Baltimore and Los Angeles. It will migrate to Nashville, Denver, and Salt Lake City soon.
Updated Repair Guides
We’ve updated our mechanic help and learning sections to include new repair guides. You’ll be able to find scooter specifications, tools needed, repair walkthroughs, and troubleshooting help for each model scooter — the M365, the ES, and the new OKB.

Mechanic Spotlights
Mechanic Dat's dog being a good shop dog in Scottsdale, AZ
“I’m a certified auto mechanic and have spent most of my life in car garages. I enjoy problem solving, fixing and repairing anything from simple machines to automobiles. Bird has allowed me to make a living doing what I love doing. Being able to work indoors as well as outdoors is great on my mind, body and soul. These things are very important to me. Very grateful to have come across this amazing company. I’m looking forward to all the amazing things that Bird has planned for our future.
I brought my daughter with me to find some birds one day. She wanted to know what it was like and so we spent an afternoon searching for them. She ended up spotting a few herself which boosted her confidence and that really made the day for the both of us. "

. About 70% of the repairs I do are for tire changes and the new birds have solid rubber tires.
