Lime has announced a partnership with Pedal Me, the London e-cargo and passenger bike service. Pedal Me will service Lime’s fleet of shared e-bikes in London – moving bikes to parking zones, delivering bikes to service centres for repairs, and swapping out batteries to ensure users can always find a bike with full charge.
This partnership means Lime’s e-bike service will be predominantly vehicle-free across the city – helping reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Lime says the partnership with will ‘replace an estimated 15,000 vehicle miles over the next three months and 60,000 over the next year’.
Ben Knowles, CEO and Co-Founder at Pedal Me, says: “We’re excited to partner with Lime – helping them cut down on emissions associated with their operations, and making their e-bikes an even greener way to travel. Our hi-tech e-assist cargo bikes and City and Guilds assured training mean that we can deliver significant savings on CO2 and particulates compared to alternatives.”
He adds: “Together, we’re on the same mission to reduce London’s reliance on motor traffic, and make the city a more prosperous, faster moving and more pleasant place to be.”
Florence Milner, General Manager, UK & Ireland at Lime, comments: “We’re looking forward to seeing our e-bikes being moved around the City on Pedal-Me’s iconic e-cargo bikes whilst helping to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and tackle congestion. We deeply value our partnerships with the local businesses that know London best, especially when they yield a cleaner and more liveable city for the future.”
Lime charges its vehicles with 100% renewable energy in the UK, powered by Octopus Energy.
