·The Guardian·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Lime bike profits have more than doubled in England due to a significant surge in riders. This increase in riders is attributed to a 31% jump in the average number of monthly users, who now total around 700,000. The rise in riders has led to a corresponding increase in sales, with sales up by a third. As a result, Lime has added over 4,500 ebikes and scooters to its fleet, bringing the total to almost 38,000.
