Hey there, Knoxville! If you’ve been looking to zip around the city with ease, we’ve got some fantastic news for you. On Monday, Lime, the popular electric scooter rental company, rolled out a fresh fleet of fun! That’s right, now you can find 100 brand-new Gen4 e-scooters and two dozen Gen4 e-bikes right here on the streets of Knoxville.
These aren’t just any scooters; Lime’s Gen4 e-scooters come packed with improvements designed to make your ride as smooth as possible. Thanks to some nifty upgrades, you can expect a ride that’s not only more comfortable but also sustainable! Here’s what you can look forward to:
With this improved design, your daily commute, joyride, or quick run to the store just got a whole lot more enjoyable!
If you’re worried about those pesky hills around the city, worry no more! The new Gen4 e-bikes are equipped with features that make climbing a piece of cake. Here are a few highlights:
Whether you’re commuting to work or enjoying a leisurely ride, these e-bikes are designed to make your journeys greener and more convenient.
The launch of these impressive vehicles comes as part of a collaborative effort between the City of Knoxville and Lime. This partnership is aimed at creating a new multimodal program that emphasizes safety, affordability, and sustainability. Lime’s Senior Director of Government Relations, Zach Williams, mentioned how they crafted operational plans with the city to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one. Excitingly, they’re committed to tweaking things as needed to enhance the overall experience for both riders and residents.
It’s important to note that Knoxville City Council established a permanent scooter program in late November 2021, indicating that the city is serious about promoting eco-friendly transportation. The current program began evolving in August 2022 when other vendors like Bird and LINK started operating, and with that, e-scooter rental permits come attached with safety and accountability requirements.
The launch of these new scooters and bikes plays a vital role in the city’s long-term goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. So, when you decide to hop on one of these e-scooters or bikes, you’re not just enjoying a fun ride, but also supporting a greener future for everyone in Knoxville.
So, are you ready to embrace the new ride options that Lime has to offer? Whether you’re a seasoned electric scooter rider or have never hopped on one before, this is the perfect chance to explore Knoxville in a new light. Remember, it’s about keeping our city moving, smoothly and sustainably!
