Micromobility company Lime has renewed its partnership with Ealing Council, as e-bike hire reportedly grows across the borough.
Lime claims that ridership in Ealing has grown by 67% so far this year (compared to 2021), with reportedly more than 550,000kms (341,754 miles) travelled since its local launch.
The partnership is intended to support the continued supply of e-bikes to residents and the delivery of Ealing council’s goals to offer more sustainable transport options.
Georgia Corr, public policy manager at Lime, said: “Ealing was one of the founding members of London’s micromobility scene.
“It played a significant role in Lime’s e-bike launch in London over three years ago, as well as our e-scooter launch last year, so it’s no surprise we are delighted to be able to continue working together to offer our e-bike service in the borough.
“By establishing a strong relationship and service, we’ve successfully encouraged people out of cars and onto more sustainable modes of transport.
“Lime is set for a record-breaking year in 2022 in London, as more people than ever embrace shared, sustainable transport options in our capital.
“Ealing is no exception, with July even set to break the borough’s monthly e-bike ride record as part of our busiest summer yet.”
Lime plans to continue its expansion across London, claiming it is the capital’s largest shared rental e-bike supplier.
This also follows the launch of Lime’s newest Gen4 e-bike model in London, which is now available for hire in Ealing.
