Users can rent these vehicles through a mobile app, which allows them to locate, unlock, and pay for rides conveniently. Lime's business model is based on charging users a base fee plus a per-minute rate for their rides. The company serves a wide range of customers, including urban commuters and tourists, and has established a presence in cities across the globe. What sets Lime apart from competitors is its commitment to sustainability and continuous fleet upgrades, including the latest Gen4 electric scooters that enhance ride quality. Additionally, Lime is exploring partnerships with local governments to integrate its services into public transportation systems. The company's goal is to promote shared, affordable, and carbon-free transportation options.
