On-road E-bike and e-scooter parking bay near Northcote train station.
Why did I see some of the e-scooters and e-bikes parked and taking up space in existing bike racks? This was a deployment error that has now been resolved. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our trial features a parking model which is unique to Darebin and requires every e-scooter trip to begin and end in a designated parking bay. Users that don’t end their ride in a designated parking location will continue to be charged until they park the vehicle in a bay. We’ve carefully chosen the locations of these bays with safety and accessibility for other footpath and road users in mind. Parking bays are installed on-road wherever possible, helping to keep footpaths clear and discouraging footpath riding by allowing trips to start on the road. There will be no loss of on-street car parking. E-bikes can be parked outside of these designated locations within the trial area, but they must not obstruct footpaths and access and must be left in an upright position. This is enforced through an end-of-trip auditing feature on the smartphone app. If you see an e-scooter or e-bike parked where it shouldn’t be, raise it directly with Lime by scanning the QR code on the vehicle or contacting Lime on 1800 861 305 or support-au@li.me
