Lime-branded bicycles and scooters are back on the streets of Spokane for the 2025 riding season.

Neutron Holdings Inc., which does business as Lime, relaunched the shared electric bikes and scooters in the Lilac City earlier this week.

“Spokane is becoming a model for how micromobility can support a city’s sustainable transportation goals and its small businesses, getting folks where they need to be without a car,” says Hayden Harvey, director of government relations at Lime, in a press release. “We remain committed to providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation options, and we look forward to strengthening our collaboration with the community and building on this progress in 2025.”

The Spokane City Council approved a two-year contract with Lime in June 2024.

The San Francisco-based company has been active in Spokane since 2018.

Under the contract, Lime pays the city $17,000 per year, with an additional vehicle charge of 75 cents per vehicle per day, according to a press release from the city.

Under those same rates, the 2022 riding season generated $190,000, and the 2023 season generated $186,000 for the city. The funds received are used on pedestrian-related projects, the city’s release states.

Since Lime launched in Spokane in 2018, nearly 600,000 riders have taken over 2.7 million rides on Lime-branded scooters and bikes, traveling over 3 million miles. Theoretically, Spokane Lime riders have kept over 650,000 car trips off the road. Using that figure, over 265 metric tons of carbon emissions have been prevented and nearly 30,000 gallons of gas have been saved, the Lime release contends.
