Smart bikeshare provider LimeBike has integrated electric assist bikes into its fleet with the intention of providing the public with a quick and more affordable solution than driving or using traditional ride-sharing services. 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.

Toby Sun, CEO and co-founder of LimeBike, said: 2018 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the global bikeshare movement. As the fastest growing smart mobility solution company, LimeBike is evolving to respond to the limitations of traditional, docked bikeshare services based on cost, accessibility and overall aging infrastructure. 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."
