.... actually for a more global perspective, they have been operating in New Zealand. Visiting Christchurch which is a fairly compact flat small city Lime's were the best thing ever to get around on. Living in Auckland, I haven't touched one - hilly, not enough coverage, too large a distance. So they do have their place outside of the hipster bay community :)

I've used them a ton when downtown (and even in North Shore).
Shame there's nowhere close enough of bike paths for stuff like this. Really disappointing.
Plus council took their licence away and gave to local company. That's like a pure corruption, nepotism or protectionism.
The amount of smear articles on NZHerald about Lime was disgusting too. It's either an by delusionally old farts or again - corruption.
