White and green scooters are disappearing from Poznań streets

The e-scooters will be available until December 1. Lime has already confirmed that its vehicles will return to the streets of the city next spring. As emphasized, during the autumn-winter break, the company is improving and modernizing its fleet in order to provide users with the highest quality service next year.

"We would like to thank our users for all their rides on Lime e-scooters. We are glad that they choose our vehicles to go to and from work, use Lime to travel to business meetings and with friends. Every day we help so many people reach their destinations, making them choose an ecological form of transport and replacing cars with micromobility solutions. All this motivates us to continue working and developing Lime in Poland," comments Andrzej Malinowski, Operations Manager Lime Poland.

According to Lime, its community in Poznań quickly adapted to the introduction of Hop&Go zones this season.

"We can see that both our users in Poznań and tourists visiting the city have adapted to the new rules and the vast majority end their rides in an appropriate manner, at the designated Hop&Go point. We have also introduced mobile patrols that monitor the correct parking of Lime scooters in Poznań and in the event of violations, they are cleaned up," adds Malinowski.
