Bird, a global scooter rental company that is very active in Tel Aviv, is expanding to bicycle rentals.
Bird Bike will operate in five Israeli cities at the same price as its scooter rentals, the company said Sunday in a press release.
With shared e-bikes, Bird will partner with cities that do not have, or are looking to supplement, an existing bike or scooter-sharing network  to offer the highest quality vehicles and operations designed to meet the mobility needs of all riders, it said.
 
Bird Bike will work with a new platform in the Bird app called Bikeshare, which integrates with locally owned and operated bike-share services and partners with transit apps for comprehensive trip planning and access to additional eco-friendly transportation options, such as e-mopeds provided by third parties, Bird said.
