SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

The Lime Generation 3 (Gen 3) and the Jump scooters are robust scooters designed for sharing. The Gen 3 is designed and manufactured in-house, improving on previous models, while the Jump scooters are custom built by Okai.

IMPROVEMENTS

- The battery at the base of the stem improves the weighting of the scooter. - Larger wheels with rear wheel drive and lower handlebars suit more riders. - A larger LCD screen with functionality to display maps. - Regular upgrades are essential for the e-scooter industry to survive and thrive. - The Gen 4 which has a swappable battery has just launched in France.
