Lime offers shared bikes that you activate with an app from your phone. The really great thing about them was that you can find them and lock them up anywhere. The lock simply locks the back wheel. Each bike has a GPS tracker so you can find it with the Lime app on your phone (and presumably to stop theft). Best of all, most of these shared bikes are ebikes, so they are really great for transportation. We saw Lime bikes everywhere, and soon started riding them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29749\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29749\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29749\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/lime-bikes\/lime-bike-on-street-in-seattle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-bike-on-street-in-seattle.jpg?fit=750%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,378\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lime bike on street in seattle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A Lime bike parked on a Seattle street&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-bike-on-street-in-seattle.jpg?fit=300%2C151&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-bike-on-street-in-seattle.jpg?fit=750%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-29749 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-bike-on-street-in-seattle.jpg\" alt=\"Lime Bikes and Scooters for Shared Transport Options.

We had not experienced this kind of bike share system before. This video shows you a little bit of how the system works.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/fMmcSF4D-Ms<\/p>\n<p>By contrast with Lime, most bike share systems require <strong>docking stations<\/strong>, which limits you a lot. For example, when we used <a href=\"http:\/\/ow.ly\/mu8V30dFb6A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Velib shared bikes<\/a> in Paris, or <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/montreal-cycling-bixi-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bixi bikes<\/a> in Montreal, or <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/amazing-evolution-of-vancouver-cycling-infrastructure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mobi bikes<\/a> in Vancouver, or <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/melbourne-bike-share-failing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Melbourne Shared<\/a> bikes, or <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bike-share-brisbane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CityCycles<\/a> in Brisbane, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citibikenyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citi Bikes<\/a> in New York, they always had to be picked up from and returned to docking stations. As I wrote about in my <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/melbourne-bike-share-failing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a> about cycling in Melbourne, this can sometimes be very challenging.

So, Lime has added two important innovations to ensure that their shared vehicles become a really useful part of people&#8217;s daily commuting choices:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>pick up and drop them off anywhere; and<\/li>\n<li>choose between electric and regular bikes (or if you really want to take a walk on the wild side, grab an electric scooter, if you live in a city that offers this option).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Lime Is All Over the USA!<\/h3>\n<p>Lime bikes, ebikes and scooters can be found in many cities across the USA, as you can see in the map below. And you can vote to encourage your city to get some of these Lime bikes, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.li.me\/locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clicking here<\/a> to go to the Lime site.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2402\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricbikeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Location-of-Lime-bikes-in-the-USA.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2402 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Location-of-Lime-bikes-in-the-USA.jpg\" alt=\"Lime Bikes and Scooters for Shared Transport Options.

You can get it on the App store, and from Google Play. Of course, you have to add a credit card. Also, at this time, you can only check out one bike with the app, so Maggie and I both had to download the app. We battled a bit the first time we tried to check out a bike, and still don&#8217;t really know why. We think it was because the reception on our phones was not good in that area. However, the second time, and every time after that, it was a breeze. This video shows Maggie checking out a Lime bike, and also shows the first time she took one for a test ride.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Checking out and trying out a Lime ebike\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8TE5WKLw2mc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>First, you use the Lime app to actually find a lime bike, using the app. On the Lime app, the ebikes show up as circles with a lightning bolt on them.

You adjust your saddle height (if necessary, and it usually is), and off you go. Oh, and a nice little touch, you can attach your smart phone to your handlebars.

As soon as the lock engages you hear a musical chord, and almost immediately you get a notification on your smart phone that you have returned the bike. Every time it then asks you how your ride was, which can get a bit annoying, but is hardly a deal breaker. It does give you a chance to report any problems with the bike, which is important for the sake of other users.<\/p>\n<p>After that, you can review your history on the bike, including how far you went, what it cost, how much carbon you saved with your green transportation choice, and how many calories you burned.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29762\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29762\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/lime-bikes\/lime-ebike-app-screen-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-ebike-app-screen-2.jpg?fit=490%2C872&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"490,872\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lime-ebike-app-screen 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;You can see details of your ride on the app after you park the bike&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-ebike-app-screen-2.jpg?fit=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-ebike-app-screen-2.jpg?fit=490%2C872&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-29762 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/lime-ebike-app-screen-2.jpg\" alt=\"Lime Bikes and Scooters for Shared Transport Options.

Every bike is one less car!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Performance of\u00a0 Lime Bikes and Ebikes<\/h3>\n<p>We found the regular Lime bikes in Seattle to be pretty comfortable. But like many shared bikes, they are heavy. I don&#8217;t think I could take off on an uphill on one of them. However, both the regular Lime bikes and especially the <strong>Lime ebikes were a huge help in getting around<\/strong>. The house we were staying was uphill from a light rail system, so we really needed the electric assistance to get home after a long day. On the way to the station, we could take the regular bikes, because it was mainly flat or downhill!<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea how they keep the Lime ebikes charged and working. Although I saw on their website that you can make money by charging up the bikes for Lime. However, from the user perspective, every time we checked out a Lime ebike, it was charged and ready to go. A couple of the times the brakes were less than impressive, or there was a rattle somewhere, but I am very fussy, so that is probably to be expected.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of power assist on the ebikes, the level of assistance was roughly equivalent to the lowest level of assistance on a high-quality ebike, such as Maggie&#8217;s Haibike SDURO HardSeven (<a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/haibike-sduro-hardseven-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reviewed here<\/a>). It was just enough to make cycling easy, while hills were possible, but tiring. We were very out of breath at the end of a fairly long uphill. Still, it was a hill that we would not even have attempted with a regular bike.<\/p>\n<h3>Problems with the Lime Bikes System<\/h3>\n<p>We thought we were really being pretty savvy the first day we used the Lime bikes as part of our journey to downtown Seattle. We found a couple of Lime ebikes within two blocks of our house. An enjoyable two-mile ride got us to the light rail system, and 20 minutes later we were downtown. Coming back hours later, we were very tired after hours of being tourists. But still pleased with ourselves, as we imagined getting home just as efficiently. When we got off the train, we were a bit crestfallen to see no Lime bikes of any kind at the station. Probably because it was rush hour. However, the app showed two ebikes quite close, so off we went to get them.<\/p>\n<p>Trouble was, when we got to them, only one of the two bikes was available &#8211; the other one could not be checked out, as it needed maintenance. Our question is this: <strong>why show a bike on the app if it is not available?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So basically Maggie got a bike, and I got to walk a mile or so more. To make it worse, the first walk had taken me further from where there really was an available bike, so I had to double back. Eventually I found a regular Lime bike, and rode it for about half a mile more before I saw a Lime ebike, and switched bikes. After that we got home quickly, if a little stressed. But it sure was nice being able to ride the bikes all the way to our home before parking them on the sidewalk in front!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29759\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29759\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/lime-bikes\/lime-bikes-outside-our-house-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Lime-bikes-outside-our-house-2.jpg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,563\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Lime bikes outside our house 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Getting home exhausted, it sure was nice being able to park the Lime bikes right outside our house.

Anyway, once I had my first ride, I could see the charges on my phone, and they were very reasonable. And of course, I could probably have found it out from phoning customer service.

For example, we could have driven a car to the light rail station &#8211; but during the week, there is no parking there. We could also have walked, but a two mile walk is going to add way too much time onto your trip. Especially if you have to get to work, or if you are a tourist and have to save your energy for touring! A bike or an ebike is the perfect solution to fill that gap. We also found in downtown Seattle that the Lime bikes were a great way to get to a light rail station, rather than trying to get there with a bus, or walking. Especially one evening at rush hour when two scheduled buses just never showed up, and we finally ended up totally exhausted on a very over-crowded bus.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Lime bikes are not perfect, and the very thing that makes them so convenient &#8211; i.e. the ability to pick them up or drop them off anywhere &#8211; can also paradoxically make them inconvenient, when you cannot find one, or the app gets you to walk to one that is not available. Still, these are relatively minor gripes, and no doubt the system will improve over time. Certainly the system is good enough that we highly recommend it, and look forward to trying it out in many more cities in the USA.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-43\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-43 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><center><strong>As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><h3>Check Out Our Most Popular Posts!<\/h3><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-25127\" style=\"max-width: 750px;
