It’s the second US market for Lime’s mopeds, after first launching them in Washington, DC. (The company is also operating a fleet in Paris.) 

The mopeds are manufactured by NIU, a Chinese company that also supplies mope.

The company sees itself as a “UFABET” for different types of low-speed, electric-powered mobility. Last year,  Lime added pedal-less e-bikes from Wheels to its app in several cities as part of a new effort to integrate third-party micromobility providers.

The news comes a day after Revel, New York’s other moped operator, announced that it would begin offering a Tesla-only ride-hailing service in Manhattan.
