Lime to launch new e-bike in Baltimore

According to Lime, the LimeBike is designed for riders who may have difficulty pedalling for extended periods, as well as those looking to replace car trips with a more comfortable, two-wheeled option. With a citywide rollout, LimeBikes will support longer trips and expand access to car-free mobility. This launch is part of Lime’s broader investment in Baltimore for 2025, including fleet growth, new technology, and operational improvements focused on safety, cleanliness, and an enhanced rider experience.

“Making dockless vehicles convenient and accessible to all Baltimore residents is a top priority of our shared mobility programme”

“Making dockless vehicles convenient and accessible to all Baltimore residents is a top priority of our shared mobility programme,” said Baltimore City Department of Transportation director Veronica McBeth. “Since many residents prefer seated options, we commend Lime for dramatically increasing the number of e-bikes available in our city and for choosing Baltimore to debut their new LimeBike, designed to make micromobility more accessible for women, older riders, and commuters.”

Lime reports riders have taken over 3.7 million rides in Baltimore since launching in 2017, covering more than five million miles. The company claims with an average of over 65 per cent of all shared e-mobility trips in Baltimore taken on Lime vehicles this year, the demand for micromobility continues to surge in the city.

So far in 2025, Baltimore riders have taken 428,008 e-scooter trips and 78,889 e-bike trips. In particular, e-bike usage has nearly doubled since 2024.
