Lime is piloting a new 'delivery pass' in London designed to give food delivery cyclists cheaper access to its e-bike fleet, as reported by major media. The delivery pass offers 24-hour access for £12, rising to £49 for seven days, with three-day and five-hour options also available, according to major media. Riders of the delivery pass receive a detachable cargo rack compatible with Lime's existing fleet to support parcel or food deliveries, as reported by major media. Lime claims the delivery pass could reduce dependence on unregulated e-bikes that have prompted safety concerns.
