Bird, a brand synonymous with electric scooters, recently unveiled a new electric bike.

Megan Rose Dickey shares news of the Bird Cruiser, the new electric micromobility device from Bird, describing it as a "blend between a bicycle and a moped."
"The Bird Cruiser can seat up to two people and, depending on the market, the Cruiser will either be pedal-assist or just have a peg. This marks Bird’s first move outside of the kick scooter space," according to Dickey.
According to Dickey, the Bird Cruiser is the latest in a series of innovations from Bird: "This news comes shortly after Bird began selling its electric scooters directly to consumers. Bird also recently started offering a monthly rental option for riders in cities where regulators do not currently allow Bird to operate its shared scooter program."
