Lime
Lime, the Californian supplier of electric scooters, offers its green-and-white painted, battery-powered electric scooters with the memorable lime disk symbol for rent in the centre of Stuttgart. Initially, 100 of the electric scooters were set up in Stuttgart.
A Lime-E-Scooter can be rented and parked anywhere in the city centre. There are no fixed stations for rental or return.
The map on the smartphone app can be used to locate the location of the next electric pedal scooter. The smartphone app scans the QR barcode available on every Lime scooter. This unlocks the eScooter and you can start immediately.
The rental fee is (as of August 2019)
- for the unblocking 1,00 Euro
- for every minute or part thereof 0,25 Euro
At the end of the trip, you simply park the E-scooter on the side of the road. Even if there are no fixed return stations for the Lime scooters, they must not be parked everywhere. The Lime-Smartphone-App informs where the scooter can be parked.
