Lime pauses for winter in Hutt Valley
As the cold
weather sets in, Lime has decided to temporarily pause
operations in the Hutt Valley over winter.
“Seasonality is a normal part of the electric scooter
industry, and we intend to resume our premium service later
in the year when the weather is warmer,” says Lime New
Zealand Public Affairs Manager Lauren Mentjox.
“We
deeply value the relationships we have built with our
partners in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt since we launched in
December and we will continue to work with them.”
Since Lime launched in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt in
December, more than 52,283 riders have taken 225,731 trips
in the region.
Ms Mentjox said as the urban
mobility leader in New Zealand, Lime remains committed to
serving the Wellington region with an integrated scooter
service for the long term.
Lime will be available
until Monday 17 June in the Hutt Valley.
