Electric scooters in sharing, suspended service in Rome: the note of Lime

The Municipality of Rome would have sanctioned the Lime company because it was below 90% of the fleet of scooters that it should have guaranteed according to agreements.

From today until December 10, subscribers to the service monopattini Sharing, offered by the company Lime, will not be able to use the rental following a sanctioning provision issued by the municipality of Roma. The Lime company would have breached the contractual agreements entered into with the Capitol, offering citizens less than 90% of the fleet of scooters agreed upon – as reported by the Transport Department of the Capital. Below is the content of the email that subscribers to the service are receiving.

Ciao,

We are sorry to inform you that, due to an unquestionable decision of the Municipality of Rome, we are temporarily forced to suspend the Lime scooter sharing service until December 10th!

Plus, if you’ve signed up for an Unlimited Pass, we’ll give you 2 weeks for free when we return!

We too, like you, will come out stronger from this period!

Thank you for your support,
Team Lime Roma

Neutron Holdings is the US company that owns the brand Lime. It manages fleets of scooters, electric bikes and cars in car sharing mode in different cities around the world. The system offers vehicles that users find and unlock via a mobile app.

The user installs the Lime app on their smartphone on which all available vehicles nearby are displayed. Before renting the scooter, the user provides payment information and scans the QR code on the vehicle. Payment is immediate and Lime requires each user to take a picture of the parked vehicle to check if the vehicle has been improperly parked.
