    Looks like they’re trying to restructure, so not shutting down operations just yet.

    But hey, if they do, free scooters!

      Free locked down scooters that can’t move.

        They’re easily hackable, especially the older models. Repairs are also easy on them too. Just need the right charger.

        Give it time, people are crafty. Someone would find a way to hack them, if they haven’t already.

          It seems there are quite a few Bird scooter hacks

        If you remove the sim card and control boards they are just bare components.
