You may have noticed fewer of our scooters in the Selwyn area for a while now.
We have been having difficulty obtaining spare parts and new scooters from Bird Scooters, our exclusive supplier. This makes repairing and replacing vandalised and damaged scooters impossible. Regrettably, we will stop operating once the remaining few scooters are no longer serviceable. We would like to thank customers who have enjoyed using our scooters over the past few years. We would recommend using any remaining credit on your Bird App while you still can.

Finally our left turn exit onto Gerald Street is open. Please keep a special eye out for our team members and other customers in the carpark while we are all getting use to the new format. Have a great weekend everyone.
