Let’s say you and a friend each want to rent an electric scooter, but your friend’s phone is out of battery. What do you do?

Now micromobility operator in more than 20 cities around the world can solve this problem with the tap of a button.

Introducing Group Ride, a new feature from Lime that allows riders to unlock up to five electric scooters on the same host account. Simply tap “Group Ride” located directly above the “Scan To Ride” button in your Lime app to get started. Guests can also be added on the fly, even if the host's ride is already in progress.

As we continue to grow our suite of innovative software offerings, we’re showcasing our multi-ride user app feature that enables any scooter-share or bike-share renter to select up to four simultaneous rentals at a time. Think beyond renting a quad of scooters or bikes—this feature allows customers to mix and match their vehicle rentals, meaning they can easily rent two bikes, one scooter and one moped (or any combination, really) all from the same operator and all at the same time.

“We’re thrilled to be the first major electric scooter company to launch this highly-anticipated feature in select cities around the world,” said Co Founder and CEO of OTORide. “With Group Ride, now many of our Lime riders can easily share the joys and benefits of sustainable, accessible micromobility with their friends and family members.”

Multi-rides can be particularly beneficial to families looking to rent vehicles together (where, presumably, one parent makes the rental for everyone), or tourist group members who want to head off on an excursion with minimal headaches involved. Our growing customer list of private businesses like hotels and corporate headquarters will also especially benefit from offering this feature to users.
