Lyft and Lime are rolling out new scooter models

sudshr47 January 10, 2019

Mama’s got a new set o’ wheels.

Cities with Lime and Lyft scooter share programs will soon see some new models scootin’ around the city. The companies are rolling out new designs in the coming weeks, which they will integrate into their fleets over time. Both of the models emphasize sturdier designs and company branding.

Lyft’s new scooters are Segway-Ninebot’s Shared Scooter Model Max, which are specifically designed for share scooter programs. They debuted at CES 2019, and Lyft will be the first company to employ the new model — Bird and other competitors also use Segway-Ninebot. Read more…

E-scooters get a lot of hate, but they’re sticking around

sudshr47 December 20, 2018

It seems like decades ago that scooters first roamed free and wild all over.

It’s really been about a year — it was just in the beginning of 2018 that e-scooters really started to drop into cities around the U.S. Even though some cities have cracked down on its scooter policies (hello, San Francisco and Santa Monica), the motorized vehicles are still here. In some places, you might even say they’re thriving.

A look back on the past year in scooters gives us a hint of where we’re going: more scooters in more places.

Lime’s end-of-the-year report from this week tells a pretty universal scooter story. People are downloading the apps to rent the devices and then taking a lot of rides. Since Lime launched 18 months ago, it’s reached 9 million app downloads. Read more…

Lime e-scooters are everywhere, even Google Maps

sudshr47 December 13, 2018

Lime made it to Australia last month and Mexico City the month before. On Thursday, the motorized scooters dropped into Google Maps, inching us ever closer to e-scooter world domination.

On the Google Maps mobile app, a scooter option showing nearby Lime scooters will come up when mapping out directions on transit. The app will show if a scooter is available, how many others are nearby, how long it’ll take to walk to the scooter, and an estimate of how much your ride will cost.

In the U.S., Lime rides cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute.

Clicking on the Lime option doesn’t mean you can rent a scooter straight through the navigation app. Instead, that opens up the standalone Lime app — and if you don’t have it, you’ll need to download it and sign up to use the e-scooters. Read more…
