It says "Free Rides Package" and "Bird Service Center", but there's zero detail on what either of these means. Anyone know? It feels like those might a decent portion of why the price is so high, but can't say.
- mdorazio 7y agoLooks like details are TBD, but it's almost certainly going to be something like either discounted rides or X free minutes of riding per month and discounted service if it breaks.
- modernerd 7y agoFrom https://shop.bird.co/ https://shop.bird.co/: “Bird One owners get access to additional rides on our dockless shared network in 100+ cities worldwide—so even if you’re away, you’re never without Bird.” [They mention “20 free rides” but don't say if that's per month, per year, or a one-off with the purchase.] “Bird Service Centers offer expert vehicle care and added peace of mind.” [No word yet on location or what sort of care is included.] The Verge has this on the service centers/anti-theft: “If your scooter breaks down, VanderZanden said you can bring it (or mail it) to one of Bird’s service centers, located in North America and Europe. If the scooter is stolen, Bird’s “bird hunter” network of freelancers may be able to track it down and find it.” https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/8/18535698/bird-one-electric-scooter-ride-share-own-price https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/8/18535698/bird-one-electric...
