Safe and Accessible Streets for Everyone
Together with the Vienna Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (BSVWNB), we are committed to ensuring safe streets.
Every ride on our e-scooters helps promote sustainable mobility and climate protection in Vienna. Please make sure to park your e-scooter only in designated areas – parking outside these zones or on the sidewalk incurs a €10 fine because it can create obstacles for blind and visually impaired people. Together, we can ensure accessible and safe pathways throughout the city.

Safety FAQs and Tips
-
Ages 18+: You must be of legal age to use Lime. You can find our full terms and conditions here.
One person per scooter: Always ride your scooter alone. More than one person per scooter is not allowed. If you are riding with two people on one scooter, you risk not only a fine, but also endangering yourself and other road users.
Group ride instead of tandem: If you want to ride with more than one person, use "Group Ride" in your Lime app. This allows you to unlock up to five scooters with your account.
Heroes wear helmets: Helmets are not mandatory. However, we recommend that you wear a helmet whenever possible.
-
Ride where there are bicycles: Always use bike lanes, bike lanes and protective lanes. If these are not available, please ride on the street.
That's not possible and will be expensive: Riding on sidewalks and in green areas is prohibited and will be punished with a fine of up to 50 euros.
Sometimes faster, sometimes slower: Please always adapt your speed to the respective traffic situation. The maximum speed limit for e-scooters in Vienna is 25 km/h. Please note the automatic speed limit of 5 km/h in pedestrian zones and 20 km/h in encounter zones.
Ride nicely in a row: If you are riding with your friends, remember that you always have to ride one behind the other.
Use a hand signal to indicate the direction before turning.
