Lime is the leading player in the market. The company has hit 26 million rides as of 2018 and is growing its spread with the implementation of new developments. For instance, In January 2019, Lime unveiled the Gen 3 Scooter, which is heavier and built for small distance commuting. Designed in-house by engineers in both California and China and built by four different manufacturers, this vehicle signals a new phase for the USD 1.1 billion startup, and the broader scooter world.
In October 2019, Lime partnered with NativeEnergy, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing sustainability solutions. Lime will fund carbon-reduction projects through NativeEnergy to offset the emissions from its management vehicles; it also plans to purchase renewable energy credits. Lime’s bikes and scooters are already electric-powered, but the company is making extra efforts to ensure that electricity gets generated from renewable sources.
