Over 500k Lime Rides around Kelowna in 2024

Lime riders took over 500,000 rides in Kelowna this year and hit 1.4 million rides in the city since launch. This year, Lime chose to celebrate each rider’s 2024 journey through a nostalgic, Y2K-style yearbook, capturing memories, milestones and stories from the “graduating class” of 2024. Kelowna won the award of “Most Likely to Get There on Two Wheels”, decided by the highest share of riders reporting  that Lime helps them replace car rides, either via personal automobile use, taxis, or ride hail services.  

“All of us at Lime are thrilled to be the e-bike and e-scooter provider of choice for residents and visitors of Kelowna. We are deeply proud of the relationships we’ve built with the Ccity of Kelowna, with our community partners, and with our riders and the effort we’ve put in to expand and update our services thoughtfully and responsibly over the years. We look forward to continuing to provide riders in Kelowna green transportation options while maintaining  laser focus on safe riding, proper parking, and ongoing improvements through community engagement,” said Sonia Kandola, Director of Government Relations at Lime.
