Lime’s shared moped program in New York City and Washington, DC was discreetly discontinued. The mopeds, which debuted in January 2021, had a top speed of 30mph and were intended for street use. Lime stated that it intends to concentrate on lower-speed vehicles that can travel in the bike lane.
Lime intends to debut the new motorcycle “at scale” in Long Beach. According to spokesperson Russell Murphy, the business expects to start with “a few hundred” vehicles and might eventually reach 500 if ridership is robust. At this moment, the corporation has no plans to deploy the vehicle in any other market.
