Feedback pointed to something “bike-like with a big, cushy, motorcycle-style seat,” and a throttle, rather than pedals, according to Lime’s president, Joe Kraus. The result, the LimeGlider, is a micromobility device that looks “like an e-bike and a moped had a baby.” The Glider has 20-inch wheels and a low step-through height, so customers in skirts can ride comfortably. The gliders rolled out in cities around the world this summer.
