Lime Bike Feedback

Lime shared e-bikes arrived in Lane Cove in July 2026, and in September, more than 1,400 riders took over 3,500 trips across the area.

Shared e-bikes can be an affordable and sustainable way to get around, but we know some residents have concerns, particularly about bikes left blocking footpaths.

New NSW regulations for shared e-bikes are now being rolled out in stages, and Council is working within the timeframes and guidance set by Transport for NSW. In the meantime, we’re running a community education campaign and want to hear what you think about Lime in Lane Cove.

Tell us what you think

Whether you’ve ridden a Lime bike or not, we’d like to know:

• What’s working well
• What could be improved
• Whether there are hotspots or problem areas in Lane Cove that need more attention

The survey takes about 3 minutes to complete.

How your feedback will be used

Your feedback, along with input from Council’s Bike Committee, Sustainability Advisory Committee and Access and Age-Friendly Committee, will be reported to Council at its November meeting. It will help shape:

• Where dedicated e-bike parking zones are created
• Where enforcement efforts are focused
• How Council works with Lime and other shared e-bike operators in the future
• How Council communicates and educates the community on safe usage as shared micromobility evolves

What Council is already doing

• Working with Lime under new NSW Government regulations that set minimum standards for shared bike operators
• Monitoring feedback on whether operators are removing bikes blocking a footpath or access point within 3 hours when reported
• Investigating additional dedicated parking zones near shops, cafés, parks and sporting fields
• Applying for up to $200,000 in NSW Government funding for parking bays and clearing footpaths
