Lime e-scooters: costs - what you pay

Renting an e-scooter is not that expensive to begin with. Even with a low basic fee and little extra charge, you can travel considerable distances. However, what is considered expensive is quite objective. The fact is: if you want to do without your bike, you can't travel any cheaper on a short distance.

Lime: That's how much it really costs to use the scooters

The price of using Lime scooters seems quite reasonable for now. With only 19 cents per minute driven can already be traveled far at a speed of up to 25 km/h.

1. When activating a scooter from Lime via the corresponding app, a basic fee of one euro is incurred immediately.
2. Each additional minute costs 19 cents or more, even if it was broken only for a few seconds.
3. For short distances, the e-scooter is significantly cheaper than other means of transport.
4. Once you have exceeded a certain tariff, however, you probably realize that bus or train are cheaper after all.
5. Depending on the city, the price for the minute driven can even vary greatly upwards, so that the use is not worth it.

Lime: A cost calculation

1. Let's assume your way to work is three kilometers.
