Lime to take over some e-scooter operations in Canada from Neuron amid acquisition

E-scooter company Lime is set to expand its Canadian presence by taking over operations from rival Neuron Mobility in 12 cities. The agreement will see Lime assume control of Neuron's e-scooter and e-bike rental services across several municipalities.

The cities included in the transition are Calgary, Lacombe, St. Albert, Beaumont, Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, and Airdrie in Alberta; Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan; and Waterloo and Ottawa in Ontario. Following a brief transition period, Lime plans to operate Neuron's former infrastructure under the Lime brand.

Rachel Rappaport, Lime Canada's senior regional lead of government relations, declined to disclose the financial terms or structure of the deal. Neuron Mobility, founded in Singapore in 2016, is recognized for its distinctive bright orange scooters and bikes.

The acquisition marks a significant consolidation in the Canadian micro-mobility market, with Lime aiming to streamline operations and potentially enhance its service offerings across these new locations. The integration process is expected to occur on a city-by-city basis over the next few months.
