Lime is revolutionizing urban transportation once again with the launch of LimeGlider, a cutting-edge seated electric vehicle set to transform the way people move around cities. Unlike traditional bicycles, the LimeGlider is designed without pedals, offering riders a seamless and effortless riding experience.
The LimeGlider marks a significant milestone in Lime’s e-bike lineup, tailored to cater to a broader audience of riders seeking a comfortable and accessible mode of transportation. With Seattle chosen as the debut city for this innovative vehicle, Lime is set to deploy 280 LimeGliders in the University District, offering residents a glimpse into the future of urban mobility.
