They will be available in existing markets in Seattle, Miami, Scottsdale, Southern California and greater San Francisco bay area from January 2018.

Called Lime-E, the bikes cost $1 (73p) to unlock and an additional $1 (73p) for every ten minutes of riding time with a maximum speed of 15mph. In addition, its power will smartly adjust to the users’ natural pedal experience.

Limebike will also offer discounted pricing of the solution for low-income riders and students.

Our electric-assist bike, Lime-E, will provide cities a fast, efficient, equitable source of first-and-last mile transportation at absolutely no cost to taxpayers and minimal cost to riders."
