Lime Scooters, E-Bikes Roll Out In Redmond This Week

REDMOND, WA — On Tuesday, Redmond will become the fifth city in Washington to offer electric Lime scooters for rent. Lime will also bring its electric-assist bikes to the city as part of the transportation master plan.

The bikes and scooters will be available beginning on July 30. The vehicles will stay in Redmond until May 2020, when city officials will consider if they should stay.

Redmond has outlined a specific set of rules for how to ride and park the bikes. You can read the rules on the city's Lime page.

To rent a scooter or bike, just download the Lime app and add your payment information. E-bikes and scooters cost $1 to unlock and 25 cents per-minute to ride.

Bothell just got Lime scooters on July 19. Other cities in Washington with scooters include Tacoma, Everett, and Spokane. Seattle has kept its distance from scooters, but does offer Lime bikes for rent.
