SAFETY

GUIDE

The electric scooters add to Lime’s fleet of shared electric mopeds which launched April of this year and operate in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The launch of electric scooters today makes us the only multi-modal micromobility operator in New York City. This is not Lime’s first time operating micromobility in New York - we previously provided shared electric bicycles as part of NYC DOT’s dockless bike share pilot program in the Rockaways and Staten Island, serving more than 300,000 trips.

Part 2: Legal ⚖️

We love a good law—it helps our riders and their neighbors have peace of mind, and keeps our cities safer.

Wherever you Lime, keep these things in mind as you ride:

  • Obey all traffic laws, street signs and signals.
  • Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians. Ride with the direction of traffic.
  • Be aware of the conditions around you, like potholes or unexpected barriers.
  • Every place has its own way. So wherever you are in the world on Lime, be sure to follow the local guidelines. (Don’t worry, we’ll have them handy for you in the app.)

And do it responsibly:

  • If you’re 18 or older, you’re good to ride!
  • Book your own ride. Two riders on one vehicle is unsafe for everyone.
  • Never drink and ride. Riding drunk is the same as driving drunk.

Feel like you could practice transportation law? Great, let’s move on to some of the fun stuff.
