Or at least, that’s what Lime is hoping the voting public will do this upcoming Election Day. The bike- and scooter-share company is offering a promo code for users to snag a free bike, e-bike, or e-scooter ride to and from the polls.

Lime, the electric scooter and bicycle company, wants to go “lime green” by becoming a carbon neutral business.
On Tuesday, Lime announced a partnership with NativeEnergy that will allow it to buy renewable energy credits to charge its fleet. Since people charge most of the scooters in their homes, Lime can’t completely control the company’s energy consumption.

The company also said it wants to make its offices more energy efficient and that it’s exploring on-site solar energy as an alternative power source. Read more…
