More than just a scooter: Lime helps revitalize community after tragedy

In 2011, the city of Christchurch, New Zealand underwent a series of devastating earthquakes that took lives, destroyed homes and crumbled businesses. Christchurch has been on the road to recovery since then, building an urban hub bustling with creativity and innovation in Canterbury.

As part of that technological movement, Christchurch welcomed Lime and its fleet of Lime-S electric scooters into the community earlier this year.

“I haven’t seen this much activity and buzz in and around the city since before the quake - people are out and about and they’re riding with big smiles on their faces,” said Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel.

“These e-scooters have made the city increasingly accessible and have supported an immense amount of personalised mobility. It’s great to see international tech start-ups like Lime choose to launch in Christchurch.”
