Lime: How the app for e-scooters works

Many potential users are currently still skeptical about the novel means of transportation. This is due, among other things, to the fact that to use it, you need an app that you have to set up beforehand. For older generations in particular, the process seems very complex and can quickly put them off. But it doesn't have to be.
