Lime's First Ride Academy

Lime is the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company who are on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. In 2022 they launched their e-bike and e-scooter share service in Richmond.

 

Lime is partnering with HUB Cycling to run a First Ride Academy in Minoru Park so that anyone in Richmond wanting to try a scooter or e-bike can learn how under the guidance of two highly experienced HUB instructors. The instructors will be able to assist with helmet fittings and road safety tips.  Drop in, no registration required.
