BIRD SCOOTERS FLY INTO BUCKHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n Residents now have a new rideshare option, thanks to the arrival of Bird scooters. The electric vehicles have roosted all around Buckhead, and users can rent one using the Bird smartphone app. The scooters provide a unique and fun, not to mention more energy-efficient, way to traverse Buckhead\u2019s busy streets. They reach a maximum speed of 15 mph and can travel approximately 15 miles on a single charge. Riders must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver\u2019s license, and a helmet is required (Bird provides free helmets on request through the app, but they must be mailed to users and cost $1 for shipping). It costs $1 to open a rental session, and you\u2019re charged 15 cents for every minute of use.<\/p>\n
