Bird has announced its second-generation escooter: the Bird Two. In addition to a long-lasting battery and a bevy of damage-detecting sensors, it features anti-theft encryption that protects against malicious hacks and a durable frame designed to prevent theft and navigate rough roads.
The Bird Two’s design is much more robust than its predecessor’s, the Bird One, thanks in part to a seamless frame. The Bird Two boasts an “industrial-grade” anti-tipping kickstand that reduces the escooter’s changes of getting knocked over while parked. When it comes to the tires, which are now puncture-proof, Bird says they were informed by nearly two years of operational data and engineered to hold up against sharp objects.
Bird says the Bird Two will begin hitting the streets this month.
