First post so plz go scooter easy on me!

Lime has finally arrived in Australia! They are running a trial in Brisbane this weekend and in good'ol OzBargain fashion, I did my research on some coupons code and stumbled over the Reddit ones which still seem to work.

It seems like Melbourne will be next on their list see here.

If you're in Sydney, you can also use LIMESYD (thanks to jason_ruz) and Brisbane folks use LIMEBRISSY (thanks to altitudinous).
Enjoy!

        Exemption to QLD laws for Lime trial
        $1 to unlock and 30 cents a minute

          So $2 to reduce a 6 minute walk to a 3 minute ride. Plus the time it takes to operate the app and walk to a scooter wherever it happens to be.

          This a joke?

            @[Deactivated]: Just took one for a ride, avg'ed over 20km/h for the ride, so way quicker than walking.

            @[Deactivated]: These are best completing the journey from bus to home. Instead of waiting 15 minutes for the transfer bus, you get home in 10 minutes. Plus it goes up to 30kmph. I do not walk at 15kmph.

            @[Deactivated]: I reduced a 30 minute walk to a 15 walk/ride. This included downloading the app and using it for the first time. Cost me $4 for 9 minutes riding. Bus would have been $3.30 but been much slower/less enjoyable.

            Worth at least having a go.

    • dlovep on 16/11/2018 - 13:13

      This country's law is absolute disgrace.
      For some reason electric bike is an exemption and allowed on the road, while other electric vehicles are totally banned under prehistoric laws.

        Even electric bikes are banned at a pretty low power level, unless you're using pedal assist.

        Unfortunately australia is governed for the lowest common denominator. Some retard hops on scooter and stacks it, then sues government.

      • cbalsill on 16/11/2018 - 18:11

        I think bikes are OK because it's law to wear a helmet, whilst there's no QLD law saying you have to wear a helmet on a scooter.

    • sam buster on 17/11/2018 - 00:27

      They don't need it to be a lasting success, it seems they recoup the cost of a scooter in about a fortnight.
      And I suppose that because they need to be exempted from the law, rival companies can be prevented.

  • lawyerz on 16/11/2018 - 13:30

      Looks like it's on their radar see here

      The company has plans to push into Melbourne and Brisbane, and has launched a three month pilot program for its electric scooters at Monash University in Melbourne.

      They also ran a trial at Monash University this week.

        She let me, but kinda moot point when I ride and left her behind on foot. And she would've been the one who benefited the most if she can ride as walking around while Prego gets tiring quick.

    Recent South Park episode “The Scoots” comes to a city near you…

    “The Scoots” focuses on the recent phenomenon of e-scooters, which wreaked havoc in San Francisco earlier this year, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. No one knows why they showed up in South Park, either, but when the boys find them, they don’t question it…

  • jason_ruz on 16/11/2018 - 14:01
    +3

    Not sure if this is really a freebie because it gives you $1 off coupons which would only cover the cost of unlocking the bike. You'd still have to pay at least $0.30 (per minute!) to actually go anywhere.

    Also I randomly tried LIMESYD and it seemed to work too.

  • INFIDEL on 16/11/2018 - 14:11

    Reported issues (on Play) with scooters running out of battery power despite showing charge on App, App freeing so can't lock - meaning keeps billing you, Pause still bills you for time not used, no scooters found despite showing on map,…

      If I recall correctly from my trip to San Fran (March 2018), the pricing there was $1 to unlock and $0.10 per minute… which seems more acceptable.

      Their purpose is to help with “the last mile” problem. It’s an efficient way of getting to or from the train station. You’re right in that it doesn’t get near public transport prices but that’s not the idea. Watch this.

      • AH on 16/11/2018 - 16:30

        Yup. A 15 minute bus wait or a 30 minute walk becomes a 10 minute scoot. Is 15 minutes of your time worth more than 3$?

      Whats the cheapest EBike cost? $400?

      $400 / $7 trips = 57 trips or 28 return trips. Thats about 1.5 months of work days.
