The name of the company is LIME. Is there really a market for people to rent rides on electric bicycles? This reminds me of the Kramer/Newman idea to have homeless people drive around rickshaws in NYC. 90% of those businesses fail within the first year.

It might work in college towns maybe....Meh, at least it's not be funded by the .gov so try it and see.

I see the rental electric scooters all over the area of UVA. Won't work where there's a lot of blacks or tweakers stealing them for the copper.....You can't have nice things in those areas.

In Los Angeles LWNJs were throwing those off an overpass at the cops.

Uber and Lyft are beginning to become obsolete unless both of them preordered millions of Robotaxis. Tesla, Waymo, and Cruise will do to Uber and Lyft what both companies did to the taxi industry.
