Shared micro-mobility company Lime is set to launch two new products: the Lime Bike and Lime Glider.
Electrek, a leading electric vehicle news outlet, reported on Tuesday that the Lime Bike is engineered to boost rider accessibility and comfort. The bike features an easy-access step-through frame, making mounting and dismounting easier. It also boasts a unique ergonomic clamp design, allowing riders to adjust seat height effortlessly.
The Lime Bike features 20-inch wheels, enhancing handling and offering a compact profile that improves maneuverability in urban areas. A manual throttle allows riders to switch between traditional pedal-assist and throttle operation.
The Lime Glider puts rider comfort at the forefront of its design. It replaces pedals with footrests and features a large, cushioned, moped-style seat positioned low to the ground for a lower center of gravity. The Glider also incorporates intuitive ergonomic hand grips to minimize rider fatigue.
Lime plans to roll out the Lime Bike in Italy, Denmark, France, and Switzerland, targeting regions with strong cycling cultures and infrastructure. The Lime Glider is set for launch in key U.S. metropolitan areas, including Denver, Austin, and San Francisco.
