The LimeGlider, launching in Dallas, Texas on March 24, 2026, is a seated scooter adding greater accessibility to micromobility company Lime's vehicle lineup.Micromobility company Lime is launching a new class of vehicles in Dallas: the LimeGlider.
The vehicle, available to ride through the Lime app beginning Tuesday, has a seat like a bike, but moves with a thumb throttle, not pedals.,” the glider is designed to provide seated comfort over longer distances while accommodating riders who may not want or be able to pedal for extended periods of time. “We remain committed to providing convenient mobility solutions that fit the unique needs of the community, all while maintaining our focus on rider safety and tidy streets,” said Lilli Kraus, Lime’s senior regional lead of government relations, U.S. West, in a release. “By providing a new option for folks to choose instead of their cars, the Glider will play a vital role in keeping Dallas moving seamlessly every single day.” Lime is initially deploying 150 gliders in Dallas. The company is one of three offering dock-less vehicle sharing in the city, alongside Bird and Spin.Though similar to the company’s e-bikes, which look more-or-less as one expects a bicycle to look, the glider has smaller wheels and a larger, more cushiony seat. The frame, featuring foot rests in lieu of pedals, sits closer to the ground for easier mounting, and the battery has been repositioned to give the glider a lower, more stable center of gravity. The glider also has a larger basket to carry more cargo and make it a better alternative to a car for things like shopping and running errands.The LimeGlider, launching in Dallas, Texas on March 24, 2026, is shown alongside two of micromobility company Lime's other vehicles, the LimeBike and a scooter.Lime first did a pilot test of the gliders in Seattle in 2024, before a full launch in 2025. TIME magazine included the LimeGlider in“During our initial pilots in 2024, it was clear that the LimeGlider earned the love of our riders, with people returning to them frequently for local travel,” said Joe Kraus, Lime’s president, in a release. “We’re so excited to take our next step with these vehicles and bring them to more cities this spring. The LimeGlider makes strides in offering a convenient and inclusive experience to a wider number of riders, while sacrificing nothing in the joy all Lime vehicles inspire.” Lime’s competitors in Dallas, Spin and Bird, offer scooters and e-bikes, but nothing similar to the glider. Veo, another operator in the space, does offer a seated scooter in certain cities, but it was not among Veo’s offerings in Arlington, which it operated in for about a year. All dockless vehicles in Dallas are regulated by the City and must abide by certain rules. These include a city-wide speed limit of 20 miles per hour, rental hours between 5 a.m. and 8:45 p.m., and rules about where to park the vehicles. The city also designates certain areas asApple Watch users can also load the app on their watch and see the pee break notifications on their wrist.Sasha is a business reporter for The Dallas Morning News.
