“Dear Lime Access Member,
As we move into Fall, we wanted to connect with our valued riders with some important updates. Every ride you take helps transform how people move throughout our cities, connecting communities and creating more livable urban spaces for everyone.

About five times over the past month, I’ve been walking on the sidewalk when a person on an e-bike or scooter has flown by me at a high speed. With the scooters, sometimes there’s enough noise for a warning, but the e-bikes are pretty quiet, and given how fast they can go, it’s difficult to hear them ahead of time.
