A month ago, Lime raised the veil on his weekly subscription in several countries, including the United States and Australia. As of this Monday, January 13, it is French users who can also benefit from it, the startup said in a press release.

Subscription or simple use, what price for a lime scooter ?

Since 2018, the American company Lime, giant of the self-service electric scooter continues to satisfy its users. Its product, the Lime scooter was able to impose itself in Europe and the United States as a means of transport that is both fun and practical. So, for occasional uses, you can rent it at any corner of the street. Furthermore, if you move frequently and want to avoid the many road traffic jams, opt for a reasonable price subscription would be ideal. So, for a subscription or a simple use, what is the price of a lime scooter ? Let’s discover the various subscriptions for a Lime scooter. Here is a presentation of Lime and all the other elements related to this two-wheeled revolutionary vehicle (including its price).

The price of the various subscriptions of a file lime

If you live in France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany or even in the United States, know that there are packages for the LimePass price file. These new subscriptions will allow you to drive the lime scooter that you rent in peace and without worrying about the rest of your assets. There are also other subscriptions such as the daily package or the monthly pass. The Lime company has everything planned.

Daily subscription (or daily pass)

With the daily package, the user is entitled to any electric scooter. Regarding payment, you must pay between 9.99 and 12, 99 euros. Indeed, the day pass allows you to roll your two-wheeler machine for 24 hours. What is more interesting with this subscription is that it offers the release of the scooter.

The weekly subscription

LimePass is valid for 7 days and it is USABLE in the city where you bought it. So you are going to find filetglates everywhere and you can use them for a whole week. During this week, the use of the pass will be unlimited. This service costs 5.99 euros per week. A reasonable price therefore since it removes activation fees.

The monthly or pass pass

In the case of a monthly subscription, several choices are offered to users. In practice, we distinguish three offers.

The first option is to pay up to 19.99 euros per month to travel eight trips. That is to say a maximum 30-minute race.

The second option allows the user to pay 44.99 euros per month in order to travel 25 trips.

Speaking of the last, it gives the possibility of paying up to 79.99 euros per month to make 50 trips.

All these variations of the monthly package also take into account the unlocking costs of the self-service electric scooter or free scooter unlock. The price can therefore go up quite high but, compared to a car, it’s profitable.

The price of simple uses of an electric scooter

Good news ! Failing to go through a subscription to rent a scooter, there is another solution. If you want to use a scooter punctually, opt for simple use. In fact, you must generally pay 1 euro of care, then between 15 and 20 cents per minute. In addition, for a 15 -minute race, you will have to pay between 3.25 and 4 euros. For a 30 -minute race, it takes 7 euros. If you use the Lime electric scooter for 5 days (Monday to Friday) it will be more interesting to opt for a LimePass (where the price is much cheaper).

Why rent an electric scooter ?

Several reasons push to use a scooter. Here are the four main explanations selected.

• The scooters are very handy:

In general, scooters (skating) are much more handling and easy to move. Less bulky, you can take them with you everywhere. Lighter than bikes, you can have them with you at any time. In addition, some models are foldable. We can therefore easily put them in a luggage rack or in the trunk of his car.

• Scooters are a great means of transport:

Whether you are a child, young or adult, using a scooter is more practical. It allows you to move faster during road traffic jams. On the other hand, it is obviously necessary to respect the rules of good conduct.

• The scooters are fun and entertaining:

The scooters allow you to have fun and distract yourself. Children love them enormously, they offer them the opportunity to do a little sport while having fun. In addition, they have become a good way to spend time with them, either in your garden or in a park.

• The scooters are economical and ecological:

Compared to a car or an electric bike, the costs of rental, purchase or maintenance of a scooter are far lower. On the ecological side, scooters are quieter devices consuming less fuel.

How to rent or borrow a file Lime ?

The principle is simple. To rent a lime scooter, start by downloading the Lime application. Once the application is downloaded, locate an available scooter (Lime is available in Paris, Le Havre, and perhaps soon in Bordeaux). It will generally be in the surroundings. Then, when you are next to the two-wheeled vehicle, you must press the Ride button before scanning the barcode or QR code. To do this, use the camera of your smartphone. The QR code is on the handlebars. It is also possible to manually enter the 6 -digit code of the machine which is located under the QR code.

The scooter is automatically unlocked and you can start starting it. Starting consists in simply putting a foot on the device and then propeling thanks to the second foot to gain speed, while pressing the accelerator. The latter is located at the thumb of the right hand. To slow down, the Lime scooter has a manual brake located under your right hand.

When you have finished your race, you must respect the geographic area of ​​Lime to make it. If you are in France for example, this area is limited to intramural Paris. Also, the scooter must be well parked on the spaces reserved for it. In the absence of these spaces, choose a place that does not bother to park it, except on the sidewalk. Don’t forget to put it on its crutch when it stopped.

In addition to the Lime application, it is also possible to go through the Uber application to rent a file file. In reality, on Uber, to access the Lime scooter map, just press the two-wheeler tab. Uber offers you to choose a lime scooter in a smaller perimeter. The drawback that there is to go through Uber is that the user will be unable to take a package if the price remains the same on this platform. Therefore, each race will be directly debited from its Uber account.

What insurance for users of Lime scooters ?

To better protect Lime drivers, several insurance covers without additional costs are planned. These insurance services are only available for French users.

Personal accident coverage

This form of insurance obtained by Lime with its insurer makes it possible to ensure the LIME driver for the bodily damage which occurs during the conduct of the Lime scooter. The driver is protected even if he is guilty or responsible for these damages.

Rider’s Liabibility Coverage cover

This much more reinforced insurance covers not only the driver files of body damage that he himself caused, but also that he caused other people. In addition, the driver is also protected from the material damage he causes to others and resulting from an accident in the Lime scooter.

Finally, remember that you can subscribe to a daily, weekly or monthly subscription to rent an electric scooter, if your use is more frequent and intense. Otherwise, it would be better to go through simple use. The total price will then be significantly lower. Then opt for one of the following electric scooters operators:

• Dott scooter;
• Tier scooter.

Lime scooters launch the Limepass weekly subscription in France

The American Lime announces the arrival of Limepass in France, a weekly subscription which will allow the followers of electric scooters to pay less.

Posted on January 13, 2020 at 11:40 a.m

A month ago, Lime raised the veil on his weekly subscription in several countries, including the United States and Australia. As of this Monday, January 13, it is French users who can also benefit from it, the startup said in a press release.

A Lime subscription that deletes activation fees

Thanks to the Limepass subscription, followers of electric scooters journeys will be able to benefit from the unlimited activation of vehicles. This service costs 5.99 euros per week and allows money from one euro per journey, since it removes activation costs usually billed at this rate. The savings are interesting enough for those who take a scooter twice a day each week, because the savings are 8 euros.

Lime subscription comes into force as soon as the payment is made and operates during the 7 consecutive days – without tacit renewal. However, the startup specifies that it operates in the city where it has been bought, which suggests that this is not the case in other places. If you are in Lyon at the start of the week and you go to Paris the following days, there is chances that your LimePass does not work.

Arthur-Louis Louis, Director General Paris of Lime adds to this new subscription: ” We know that most of our users use electric scooters for their personal and professional trips. With our new LimePass service, we want to satisfy all those who frequently use electric scooters and offer them a more economical way to move to Paris »».

LimePass is available on the Lime application in the side menu. At a time when we write these lines, the subscription is not yet available-in any case in Lyon, but a spokesperson for the startup told us that this should be the case during the day.

Lime is the first scooter operator to launch such a subscription, it will be interesting to see if its competitors represented by Voi, Dott and others will also be in the coming months.
