Lime e-Scooters
Lime is an electric scooter and bike-sharing app used in the central area of Melbourne. The Lime micro-mobility solutions are available anytime to get you anywhere. Simply open the Lime app to find a vehicle near you, scan to unlock it, and enjoy your ride!
The dockless vehicles make it easier for people to utilize public transit options by providing an easy way to get to and from your departure and arrival locations.
From February 1, 2022 the City of Melbourne, City of Yarra and City of Port Phillip are participating in a one year trial which could be extended pending the outcome of the trial.
E-scooters will travel up to a maximum speed of 20 km/h on bicycle lanes, shared paths and low speed roads, and will not be allowed on footpaths. Riders must adhere to most of the same rules as bike riders, including wearing a helmet and slowing down to give way to pedestrians on shared paths.
Geofencing technology will also enforce certain 'no go' and 'go slow' zones where speed limits are restricted in high-traffic shared areas and show riders where e-scooters can be parked and located.
You can use the app to find available scooters near you, and you can reserve one for 15 minutes while you get to your ride.
You can ride them anywhere in the municipalities of Melbourne, Yarra or Port Phillip, but the power will shut off if they go outside of those council areas.
Cost:
$1 charge to get the scooter started and 45 cents per minute, or you can rent them for a day for $15.
