Lime-S Dynamic Pricing

Attention Lime-S Chargers, the company has shifted away from flat rate charger pricing from $5 per scooter to now integrate higher rates up to $10 per scooter - dynamic pricing based on charge levels and difficulty in picking up the scooter. This is a fantastic change that will allow people who charge scooters to make more cash. Starting out with only three chargers you will likely be limited to only charging up to 12 scooters per night, which is slightly annoying since the company advertises charging up to 20 scooters and making up to $100+ daily. As consistency in charging the scooters is developed people will be provided more chargers and more scooters can be captured and charged daily.

This new update in pricing has made becoming a scooter charger for Lime-S more lucrative and worthwhile for people to work for the company as an independent contractor. The rates are more inline with what BIRD offers to charge scooters, between $7-20 per scooter.

The downfall for Lime scooters compared to BIRD scooters is the size, Lime scooters are slightly more bulky and less nimble - making it more difficult to transport scooters in a car. Although if you have a truck than it makes little difference.

Happy hunting fellow chargers!
