No, kids generally cannot use Lime scooters or e-bikes. To create a Lime account and use their services, you must be the legal age to enter into binding contracts, which is typically 18 years old. This requirement ensures riders can understand and agree to Lime's terms of service and liability waivers.
Here's a breakdown of the age restrictions:
- Age Requirement: Usually, you need to be 18 or older to ride Lime scooters and e-bikes. This is because riding these vehicles involves inherent risks, and legal contracts are required to ensure riders are responsible for their actions.
- Parental Consent: Even with parental consent, minors are typically restricted from using Lime services due to the legal and safety considerations involved.
- Terms of Service: Lime's terms of service clearly state the age requirements for using their services. It's important to review these terms before attempting to create an account or ride a Lime vehicle.
While some jurisdictions might have specific exceptions or regulations, the general rule is that minors are prohibited from using Lime services due to safety and legal liability concerns. Always check the specific regulations in your area.
