What Is a "Lime" Charge on My Bank Statement?
A Lime charge is a rental fee for a Lime electric scooter or e-bike. Lime charges an unlock fee plus a per-minute rate, so longer rides cost more.
Plain-English explanation
Lime scooters charge an unlock fee (typically $1) plus a per-minute rate ($0.15–$0.42 depending on city). Longer or unintentionally running rides can add up. Lime also offers monthly subscriptions and day passes. Charges appear as 'Lime' or 'LIME PLUS' on your statement.
Most common reasons this appears
- Electric scooter or e-bike ride paid per minute
- Lime day pass purchase for unlimited short rides
- Lime subscription for regular riders
