GREENSBORO, N.C. — Beep beep!
Electric scooters and bikes for rent are finally coming back to Greensboro!
The city announced on Tuesday they issued an operator permit to Bird Rides Inc., allowing them to offer e-scooters and e-bikes for rent around the city.
Bird will be offering free test rides and UNC Greensboro staff will be giving away helmets during Spartapalooza, the university’s annual student carnival.
The free test rides will be available from 3-4 p.m. on Saturday, April 13.
Several electric scooters and bike services have come and gone in the city for the past several years.
Those companies now have to get a permit from the city to place their scooters and bikes within the city limits.
