From a physical design perspective, the bike worked well going up a hill because I could stand. From a service design perspective, Lime has a lot to work on. From an electrical systems perspective, it sucked and I’d rather have mechanical gears. [fin] 🔄 0 👍 2 Original URL

Let’s start with the service design. Lime makes you “unlock” the bikes. You have to come to a bike, scan it, and then you’re eligible to rent one. I knew they existed, and re-downloaded the app just to find one but they didn’t show on the map. Now I can see them [2/] 🔄 0 👍 2 Original URL
