Hire A Bike

Want a fun, sustainable way to travel across the city? Bike hire operator Lime has launched an electric bike (e-bike) rental scheme in Nottingham, in partnership with Nottingham City Council. Users can pick up and return Lime e-bikes from a network of designated e-bike-hire bays across the city.
Some features of the e-bikes include:

Built-in front and rear lights - with rear lights that indicate when users brake
An electric motor to help riders climb hills and restart their ride when stopped/stationary at traffic lights or zebra crossings
A phone holder, allowing riders to easily navigate without having to stop and check directions
Built-in baskets to help people carry shopping or bags
A range of 64km with batteries monitored by Lime so they can be charged when they run low

How old do you have to be to hire an e-bike?
Users must be 18 years and over.

You can hire e-bikes through the Lime app which is available on the Apple app store or the Google Play store. Check out our frequently asked questions for more detail.
