Ride all the Lime e-scooters with an weekly unlimited unlock pass
Your chances of scooting to your next destination just went up.
On Tuesday, the electric scooter rental company Lime started offering a weekly ride pass with unlimited free scooter unlocks. That means for a weekly fee of about $5, you can unlock as many scooters as you want. Each unlock usually is $1. You still have to pay for each minute you ride, which is about 24 cents per minute.
If you want free unlocks all the time, you can buy a pass each week. Other scooter companies like Bird offer a month pass. Bird’s monthly rentals in San Francisco and Barcelona, Spain are $24.99. Uber and Lyft offer scooter trips through its monthly subscription plans, Lyft Pink and Uber Pass. For $20 or $25 per month you can get a certain number of free minutes per day on e-scooters.
For a daily Lime commuter the plan can pay for itself within a few days. For the occasional rider, the subscription isn’t worth it. If you want to add the pass to your account, open the app, look through the menu and click through the LimePass options.
The Lime subscription pass was first offered as a pilot in Los Angeles, Dallas, and San Diego, but now it’s in additional cities around the world: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Charlottesville, Dunedin (Florida), Little Rock, Memphis, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. in the U.S. as well as in the New Zealand and Australian cities of Christchurch and Brisbane.
More cities will offer the free unlocks in early January.
