Uber has reportedly held talks about a multi-billion dollar acquisition of electric scooter startups Bird and Lime.
Website 'The Information' originally reported Uber's interest in the buzzy scooter firms, while sources familiar with all three companies told the Financial Times that the talks are still at an early stage.The Information said a deal for either company could help Uber alleviate scooter supply constraints after launching its Jump brand of two-wheeled vehicles in October.
