Lime, formerly LimeBike, is an American transportation rental company that runs bicycle and scooter sharing systems in various cities. The systems use dockless vehicles and a mobile app to unlock vehicles. Lime's service typically starts at $1/1€ for a 30-minute ride on the traditional bikes, while its fleet of electric bicycles charge $1 to unlock, and 15 cents per minute.
History
modifierLimeBike was founded in January 2017 and raised $12 million in venture funding led by Andreessen Horowitz in March 2017.[1] The company's first location, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, launched in June 2017 with 125 bicycles.[2] LimeBike expanded in July 2017 to the cities of Key Biscayne, Florida, South Bend, Indiana, and South Lake Tahoe, California.[3][4][5] On July 27, 2017, LimeBike launched with 500 bicycles in Seattle, Washington, becoming the city's second bikeshare operator.[6] The company closed a Series B round of venture funding in October 2017, announcing that it was valued at $225 million[7].
In November, LimeBike announced NFL running back Marshawn Lynch as one of its brand promoters, partnering with his company Beast Mode Apparel[8].
In May 2018, the company announced that it would rebrand as "Lime" and partner with Segway to produce new scooters[9].
Equipment and usage
modifierLime uses green-colored commuter bikes equipped with GPS units and 3G connectivity.[1][10] The bicycles also feature a front basket, a solar panel, and a smart lock. A mobile app is used to locate nearby bicycles and scan a QR code to unlock bicycles, which play a short chime.[1][11] Rides cost $1 for every 30 minutes of use[1].
Modèle:As of, Lime has 150,000 users[12].
At CES 2018, Lime announced that they would begin a trial of electric bikes in San Francisco[13].
Shortly after the release of Lime-E (electric bikes), Lime-S electric scooters were also announced.[14] In April 2018, these scooters were the subject of controversy after Lime left several hundred of them on the streets of US cities without the permission of municipal authorities:[15] public criticism of the project increased in June when it emerged that the scooters were programmed to play a recording of the message "Unlock me to ride me, or I'll call the police" repeatedly, at high volume, when their controls were touched[16].
In May 2018, the company announced plans to begin development of transit pods, small self-driving electric vehicles[17].
