    Atlanta recorded over 1.7 million Lime rides in 2023 -- a 175%
    increase from 2022, according to a Lime report. The city saw a total
    of 2.1 million rentable scooter and bike rides in 2023.

    "We chose Atlanta as one of the first cities in the world to pilot our
    throttle e-bike and now the first city to experience LimeBike because
    it's a city that advocates for and champions sustainable and
    alternative transportation," Carol Antunez, Senior Manager of
    Government Relations, said in a written statement.

    Lime also announced a mid-August Seattle launch date for the
    LimeGlider, a vehicle that mixes elements of an e-bike and a scooter.
    The ride has a padded seat but is built without pedals, disqualifying
    it as an e-bike under Georgia code.
