 🟢 Lime full speed ahead in the UK

Despite, posting a €185k loss in Ireland, Lime’s UK revenue is up 75% to £111.3m, equating to one-fifth of the company’s global revenue.

With active services in London, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford and Milton Keynes, the operator’s pre-tax profits fell £2.15m to £1.71m, but it ended 2024 with £16m in cash, with a tight grip on the largest dockless bike market in Europe, London.

Having secured another 4-year contract in Paris and won new contracts like the one to replace RegioRad in Stuttgart from 2026, Lime is nicely poised for an IPO, should it feel that the time is right.
