Summary
Melbourne’s Yarra City Council has shut down its e-bike trial with Lime, citing the company’s failure to police misuse like dumping bikes, drunk riding, and sidewalk use — calling it disrespectful and subpar. While residents argue the environmental and mobility benefits outweigh the issues, council officers highlight Lime’s broader operational, data, and financial problems. Lime expressed disappointment, but the council remains open to future partnerships. Meanwhile, other Melbourne councils are still navigating their own e-bike plans — some pausing, others expanding — amid a lack of citywide coordination.
