There’s a new reason to love the Queen City.Six months after dock-free mobility rolled into town, Charlotte transit is getting an upgrade in the form of Lime-S electric scooters.Smaller and lighter than traditional bike shares, these new scooters take up minimal ground space and are easy to both maintain and maneuver. They’ve also got a sleek, custom design and 14.8 mph top speed that make them incredibly fun to ride.But it’s not all about enjoyment and convenience.Whether it’s a digital speed and battery display, automatic front and rear lighting or our dedicated public safety content, the team at Lime is serious about educating the Charlotte community on proper riding etiquette and behavior.

Our Lime-S electric scooters even come equipped with an orientation alert system that lets our local ops team know the moment a vehicle is no longer standing upright.All of this simply means we’re as committed to keeping Charlotte clean and safe as we are to keeping it modern and mobile.With Tuesday’s launch, the Queen City joins Washington, D.C. and Miami as the first three East Coast cities to offer Lime-S electric scooters.If you’re interested in trying one out, we’ve got $5 in ride credits for you! Simply download the Lime app by tapping the header, then enter code CLTFRIENDS to get riding! You may never look at Charlotte transit the same way again.
