Calgary Becomes the First Canadian City to Launch Bird’s Next-Generation E-Scooter and E-Bike Fleet

Calgary, AB, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian company Bird Canada is proud to announce the rollout of its most advanced and accessible shared vehicles yet: the new Bird Dash e-scooter and Bird Explorer e-bike. Calgary is the first Canadian city to receive this groundbreaking fleet. To date, more than 450,000 Calgarians have taken millions of trips with Bird.

With lightweight, rider-friendly designs and cutting-edge safety technology, the new fleet is built to give more people the confidence to choose micromobility for everyday travel.

“We are the only Canadian company in our industry, so it’s important to bring our latest and greatest vehicles to our country as quickly as possible. And, of course, no Canadian city is as important to us as Calgary,” said Stewart Lyons, Co-CEO of Bird Canada. “These e-scooters deliver the latest technology for best-in-class stability and safety, while our new e-bikes are a completely different form factor— lightweight and approachable, perfect for both first-time and experienced riders. Together, they give Calgarians a sustainable, practical alternative to short car trips.”
