Baltimore is set to become one of the first cities in the world to introduce Lime’s newest e-bike model, the LimeBike, Mayor Brandon M. Scott announced today. The move comes as part of a broader expansion by Lime, which plans to deploy over 10,000 LimeBike and LimeGlider vehicles across major cities in North America and Europe. Over the coming weeks, Baltimore will see a gradual deployment of up to 200 LimeBikes throughout the city.

The new LimeBike aims to enhance Baltimore’s already growing micromobility network, where dockless vehicles have logged over 2.1 million trips in the past year. City officials attribute Baltimore’s selection for the LimeBike launch to ongoing investments in transportation infrastructure, including protected bike lanes and designated parking spaces. The introduction of the LimeBike is expected to promote accessibility for a wider range of users, particularly women, older adults, and commuters seeking more comfortable alternatives to traditional bicycles and car trips.
The LimeBike’s design accommodates riders who may have difficulty pedaling for long periods, offering a more inclusive option for those with mobility challenges. Lime’s broader strategy for 2025 includes significant investments in Baltimore’s micromobility program, focusing on fleet expansion, technological upgrades, and improvements in safety and cleanliness. Company representatives emphasized that the launch will further bridge transit gaps and support the city’s sustainability goals.

Since Lime’s entry into Baltimore in 2017, local riders have completed over 3.7 million trips, traveling more than 5 million miles. Currently, Lime accounts for more than 65% of all shared e-mobility rides in the city. With e-bike usage nearly doubling since 2024, demand continues to grow, reinforcing Baltimore’s position as a leader in micromobility adoption. Lime’s expanded offerings, including the new LimeBike, are intended to meet this increasing demand while promoting equitable access to transportation across the city.
