Lime Micromobility has removed its shared electronic scooters and bikes from Overland Park streets, the second major e-scooter and bike vendor to pull out of the city in the last year-and-a-half following a similarly abrupt exit from Bird. Lime was in the middle of a pilot program with Overland Park that had replaced the one ended early by Bird in November 2023. In its first year last year, Lime recorded upwards of 8,000 rides in Overland Park, and according to city officials, there was no indication that the company was thinking of permanently pulling its vehicles off city streets. Under the pilot agreement, Lime would have been allowed to deploy up to 400 of its e-scooters and e-bikes in city limits through the end of 2025 with an option for expansion. Instead, the devices have been removed from the city, and it is unclear when — or even if — they’re coming back.
