The electric-scooter infiltration of Denver continued as Bird, an electric vehicle sharing company, launched its fleet of electric-scooters Friday. Bird joins Lime, the well-known Aurora bikeshare program, as the second electric-scooter provider in Denver. Lime let its fleet of scooters lose in Denver on May 25. Bird’s scooters are now available in Downtown Denver, Curtis Park, Five Points, LoDo, and Villa Park with plans to expand its fleet to all of Denver as ridership grows. Bird deployed its first fleet of scooters in Los Angeles in September 2017 and has since moved into San Francisco, Washington D.C, Nashville, Miami, Austin, and Charlotte, N.C. Company spokesman Kenneth Baer said the Mile High City was a next logical step. “Denver has 300 plus days of sunshine, and is also a growing and thriving city that is grappling with congestion, traffic, and trying to get people out of cars, and Bird offers a solution,” Baer said. Yet the city itself, according to Denver Public Works spokesman Nancy Kuhn, was never informed of Bird’s plans to arrive Friday, and is not aware of any other electric-scooter sharing companies preparing to move to Denver at this time.
