Frequently Asked Questions About Lime

  • Price was Higher than Expected

    Lime charges a fixed rate to unlock a vehicle and then charges per minute as you ride. Rates and promotions may vary by city, day of the week, and time of day. Rides may also be subject to a minimum charge. Please refer to your Lime app for exact costs by tapping on a vehicle on the map or tapping “Scan to Ride” to see the rate. If you want to see a copy of your Lime receipt, refer to the How do I get a copy of my ride receipt article for details.

    Pre-Authorization

    You may see a pre-authorization hold on your card when you start a ride, which will show up as a "pending" charge on your bank statement. This hold ensures there are sufficient funds available to pay for your ride. While this may look like an additional charge, Lime will release this temporary authorization immediately after your ride ends. Our payment issuer will typically remove this charge within 7-12 business days.

    If you believe you were charged in error after reviewing the information above, Submit a Request so our team can assist you.

  • When your vehicle is still incurring charges:

    Check if you have locked the vehicle correctly. Once locked, you will hear a tone.

    Wait at least one minute for the ride to finish processing after locking the vehicle.

    Please check whether your phone has good cellular data and/or Wi-Fi connection

    Try closing and restarting the app

    If none of the above suggestions resolves the issue, please submit a request to customer service and we will refund the charge accordingly after investigating.

  • We strongly recommend that you wear a helmet every time you ride our bikes and scooters. The helmet should be Snell, CPSC, ANSI, or ASTM-approved. It should be sized, fitted, and fastened per the manufacturer's instructions.

    We encourage riders to have two finger lengths between their chin and the strap to make sure the helmet is securely on your head. The helmet should be comfortable and snug on your head - it should not move around (for example, it should not fall to block your vision or fall behind your head, exposing your forehead).

    While helmet laws vary by region, country and city, please always wear a helmet.

    For minors, helmets are required:

    Minors over 16 can use non-electric bikes only that you have rented, but they must wear a helmet and perform the necessary safety-checks (both discussed below), and you must educate them on the laws that apply to them and supervise their use at all times. You are legally responsible for all their activities as if it was your own.

    For details, please refer to our User Agreement.

    Helmets and other protective gear are no guarantee against personal injury. If you choose not to wear a helmet and are injured, you chose to take that risk and we are not responsible.

  • Our scooters may come with a cable lock. Riders must use this lock to secure the scooter to a bike rack in order to end their ride.

    Before you start

    To unlock a scooter, please follow the steps below:

    Enable your phone’s Bluetooth and make sure the Lime app has permission to use Bluetooth in your phone settings.

    Scan the QR code on the handlebar.

    Keep your phone open to ensure it connects with the lock via Bluetooth. Wait for the unlocking instruction screen to appear.

    Tap once on the physical lock’s button and wait for the light to turn blue.

    The cable pin next to the button will pop out. Pull the cable free, remove the vehicle from the bike rack, and start your ride!

    If the cable pin doesn’t pop out, the cable might be stretched too tight. Move the scooter close to the bike rack to ease tension on the cable. Don’t pull on the cable until the lock button light is blue and the pin pops out.

    After your ride

    End the ride in the app by tapping the “Lock” button followed by the “End Ride” button.

    Wrap the cable around a bike rack and insert the pin into the lock.

    City regulations require you to:

    Lock your scooter upright and parallel to a bike rack.

    Leave space for other riders on the rack.

    Not lock the scooter to other vehicles.

    Take a photo clearly showing you have secured the scooter to a bike rack.

    Billing stops as soon as you have confirmed you have completed all these steps.

    Please make sure you end your ride in a proper location and lock your scooter to a bike rack. You may be fined for not securely locking the scooter.

  • You can pause your ride so that another person cannot use your vehicle. Please note that you will continue to be charged per minute while your ride is paused.

    In order to stop being charged for your ride, you will need to tap “End Ride”. However, this will release the vehicle for others to use.

    Please do not forget to end your ride when you are finished! You will continue to be charged if you do not end the ride.

  • REMEMBER BLT

    Serving Limes is the final step a Juicer needs to take before getting paid. This means going back into the community and placing these Limes in areas citizens would want to use them. Limes must be served according to BLT standards in order to get full payout. BLT stands for Battery, Location, and Timing. Failure to serve Limes according to BLT standards may revoke your Juicer status.

    BATTERY: The app specifies the battery levels of each scooter. Scooters must have at least 95\% battery when served in order to receive full payout.

    LOCATION: The app specifies all the locations that scooters can be served at. To figure out where you can serve scooters, go into the Juicer mode of your Lime app and click on the Serve toggle in the top off the app. Click into the green icons to see where the LimeHubs (places you can serve Limes) are. You can see what the LimeHub looks like, reserve the LimeHub to serve scooters to it, and navigate to that LimeHub all using the app.

    Once you arrive at that LimeHub, click on the Serve button at the bottom of the app and use the QR scanner to successfully lock and serve that Lime. You will be prompted to take a photo of your serve to verify it was served correctly.

    TIMING: The app specifies the time that each scooter needs to be served by. You can go into the My Limes tab in the Juicer Mode of the app to see a list of all the Limes you have harvested and the required time they need to be served by.

    Following BLT and serving at a LimeHub by 7 am with 95\% battery level as shown in the app is a PERFECT SERVE.

    LIMEHUBS

    FIND A LIMEHUB

    Make sure you are in the SERVE mode of the app by clicking on the SERVE tab in the top center part of the Juicer Map. Locate the LimeHubs by scrolling through the map and identifying green icons containing a number which correspond to the amount of spots available for scooters to be served. LimeHubs show in the Serve map only when there is at least one spot available for the scooter to be left there.

    RESERVE A LIMEHUB

    Click on the LimeHub where you wish to serve your scooters and then click on the RESERVE option, which will keep it reserved for 30 minutes. Only one LimeHub can be reserved at a time. To unreserve the LimeHub, simply click on the LimeHub and then click on the UNRESERVE option.

    LIMEHUB LOCATION CHANGED

    Please note that LimeHub locations are subject to change. Our team of local specialists is constantly working to optimize the LimeHub locations to increase ridership and efficiency. Always rely on the app to verify that you are serving at a LimeHub.

    LIMEHUBS APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING

    We are constantly trying to optimize the Rider experience. This means that the location of LimeHubs may dynamically change on the map depending on the scooter demand. Always refer to the map on your Lime App and refresh.

    SERVE BEST PRACTICES

    The best Juicers do the following:

    Always remember BLT

    Use the Lime app as your source of truth for BLT

    Serve at LimeHubs or place Limes in groups AT LEAST two

    Don’t Serve Limes on the sidewalk or on the street

    Ideally put scooters in groups of two invisible places so people don’t trip over them

    Place handlebars twisted to the left

    Place scooters at least 8-12 inches apart

    The best Lime Serve photos look like this:

    Limes SHOULD NOT be served like this:

    **NOTE: If you get an error message when Serving, please take a screenshot of the error message, record the scooter plate #, and submit a request at Help > Submit Request.

  • One way to start your Juicer journey is by charging Limes. You can use the Lime Juicer App to identify harvestable scooters, navigate to those scooters and harvest them by scanning the scooter’s QR code with the app.

    -------------------

    WHEN TO HARVEST

    Keep monitoring the Juicer map in the App throughout the day to see if there are any harvestable scooters near you. Most scooters that need to be charged marked as green pins become available to harvest in the evening after the community has ridden them all day. Critical low battery scooters are available to harvest throughout the day, but higher battery ones become available in the night. You can check scooter battery level by clicking at the scooter in the App.

    In addition, look out for scooters that are in need of repair by our local teams marked as red pins. These scooters should be retrieved to local LimeBases.

    Once you harvest a scooter to be charged or retrieved, the Lime app will show you when you need to serve or drop the scooters off by.

    ------

    HOW TO HARVEST

    To start harvesting, check your app to see which scooters are near you or en route to wherever you want to go. You can click on the scooter pin and navigate to the scooter by clicking on the “Navigate” button in the top header menu.

    Once you get to the pin where the scooter is located, cross-check the last 3 digits of the scooter plate number with the scooter pin in the app. This will help you make sure that you are at the right scooter. Click the unlock button of the screen and scan the QR code on the scooter. Upon scanning, you will be prompted to “Confirm Harvest” - click on this button if you are sure you want to harvest this scooter.

    Once you have successfully harvested the scooter, please place it securely in your vehicle and continue harvesting OR transport it back to your charging station and then continue harvesting.

    See Scooter Battery Level

    Navigate to Scooter

    Confirm Harvest

    If you walk to a scooter and realize it isn’t there, try clicking into the scooter in the app and pressing the Bell button and listen for the scooter ring. If you still can’t find the scooter, click on the ! button in the bottom left corner of the app to mark it missing. This will remove the scooter from your app.

    *NOTE*: In the event you are NOT prompted to “Confirm Harvest” and receive an error message (marked with an E on the scooter display), please serve the scooter immediately and report it as broken by clicking on the ! button. You should not move the scooter, just leave it where you first saw it for the Lime Operations team to retrieve and fix. Often times, this issue happens with scooters that have too high of a battery level, are offline, or are broken. Click on the ! button to report the scooter as broken

    --------------

    BROKEN SCOOTERS

    If you see that a scooter is damaged, click on the (!) button to report something is wrong > click damaged vehicle > and then report which part of the scooter is damaged. This will remove the scooter from your app. Broken scooters are not to be harvested.

    -------------

    MISSING SCOOTERS

    If you walk to a scooter and realize it isn’t there, try clicking into the scooter in the app and pressing the Bell button and listen for the scooter ring. If you still can’t find the scooter, click on the scooter pin > Report > and then Mark Missing to mark it as missing. This will remove the scooter from your app.

    Something is wrong (!)

    Damaged vehicle

    Mark as missing.

    ----------

    HARVEST BEST PRACTICES

    Two Juicers are better than one: Juicing with a buddy helps you avoid parking problems in highly dense areas because you can easily harvest scooters while your buddy waits in the car. Juicing with a buddy is also safer because you can navigate while your buddy drives. There are plenty of Limes out there for everyone, so try Juicing with a buddy and splitting your earnings!

    Stay Safe: NEVER wander into private property or someone’s home to Harvest a scooter, your safety is our utmost priority and no scooter is ever worth it. In fact, if you realize a scooter is on private property or in someone’s home, mark it missing with the !button in the app. If there is a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe while harvesting the scooter please do not proceed.

  • GETTING MORE POWER SUPPLIES

    You can get more power supplies by reaching your first milestone of completing 25 serves over 5 active days with 80\% perfect serve rate. When you complete that milestone, you get access to order new chargers through a Lime online store. For any other power supply related questions, please Submit Request.

    PLUG IT IN

    Plug the power supplies into the wall. Make sure to consult a professional electrician on the proper electrical capacity for your charging area to stay safe and avoid hazard. Plug the charging cord into the Lime-S scooter on the stem of the scooter. When the power supply is plugged into the scooter correctly and the battery is less than 100\%, the light on the power supply should switch from Green to Red. RED means that the scooter is being charged.

    CHECKING BATTERY LEVEL

    You get full payout for Charging Limes that reach 95\% battery or more. ALWAYS rely on the battery level indicated in the app under the My Limes tab (not the battery level indicated on the LED display of some scooters) to determine when the scooter has reached at least 95\% charge. If the battery levels between the scooter and the app are inconsistent, try:

    Ensuring you have connectivity

    Getting closer to the Limes

    Always rely on the My Limes tab in the app for the source of truth.

    **NOTE: If you see a GREEN light when plugged in, this indicates an issue with the scooter. Please mark it as broken and place it outside for the Lime Operations team to collect. If you see an ALTERNATING GREEN/RED light on the power supply, unplug the power supply from the electrical port and from the scooter immediately. The power supply is BROKEN and needs to be replaced. If there is NO LIGHT, your power supply is probably broken - please submit a ticket through the Help Center.

    JUICE BEST PRACTICES

    The App is the Source of Truth: Please rely on the battery levels indicated in the app to verify if your scooter was charged to 95\%. Sometimes, the scooter LED displays don’t update to reflect the correct charging percentage due to connectivity issues OR the scooters don’t have a display in which case the app is your best bet.

    No Over-Juice: Do not overload electrical sockets with power supplies, always consult an electrician and make sure safety is first!

    Keep Cool: Keep Limes and power supplies in a reasonably cool place and space them out from each other to encourage ventilation and prevent overheating of the Limes and power supplies

  • You can also start juicing with Lime by simply moving scooters from one location to a designated LimeBase. These scooters will appear as red pins on your Juicer app. This type of task only requires transportation of these scooters to the nearest LimeBase. You do not need to charge them prior to deploying them.

    WHEN TO RETRIEVE

    Retrieval tasks are available to pick up at all times of the day. When you see them on the map, go after them!

    HOW TO RETRIEVE

    To start retrieving, check your app to see which scooters are near you or en route to wherever you want to go. You can click on the red scooter pin and navigate to the scooter by clicking on the “Navigate” button in the top header menu. You can pick them up in the same way you would with a harvest. However, retrieval tasks don’t need charging. Just pick up the scooter and drop it off at a LimeBase.

    LIMEBASES

    FIND A LIMEBASE

    Make sure you are in the SERVE mode of the app by clicking on the SERVE tab in the top center part of the Juicer Map. Locate the LimeBase by scrolling through the map and identifying numerated red icons which correspond to the amount of spots available for scooters to be dropped off.

    LIMEBASE NOT APPEARING ON THE MAP

    If the LimeBase is not showing on the map, a multiple click on the “Refresh” circle button may make the LimeBase appear. In addition, zooming the area out may make it visible, especially in markets where the LimeBase may not be in the vicinity.

    NAVIGATING TO A LIMEBASE

    The address of LimeBase will display upon clicking on it on the map. The easiest way to get to a LimeBase is by clicking on the “Navigate” button.

    RETRIEVAL BEST PRACTICES

    Plan Ahead:Retrieval tasks should be dropped off within 4 hours. If it takes longer than 4 hours for you to drop off the Retrieve task, you will earn 50\% of the original rate for that task. For example, harvesting scooters at 1pm, and another at 1:10pm means the these scooters need to be retrieved at 5pm and 5:10pm respectively.

  • The Limepod Pilot Program was launched in Seattle in November 2018 to gain insight into carsharing operations and the desire for and usage of a vehicle offering that seemingly had a more traditional functionality. Since the start of the program, we’ve seen over 18,000 Seattle riders take more than 200,000 trips. The program will conclude at the end of the pilot period, on December 31, 2019.

    At our core, we are an electric mobility company that is fully committed to reducing car travel, and LimePod was a pilot to test the economics of vehicle share with the intent that the vehicles could be replaced by an all-electric fleet if successful. We have not yet found the right partner for this type of program, but we continue to explore options to improve and expand this offering in the future.

    Users currently enrolled in the program will continue to have access, but individuals should always check the availability of a vehicle before beginning their trips.

    Can new users continue to signup?

    We will not be taking new user signups starting October 15.

    I still have funds in my account, how do I get refunded?

    Please contact our support team using this form and our team will assist you.
