Electric scooters are rolling into Waterloo, Ont., as Lime enters the Canadian market for the first time. Some markets where Lime products or offerings from competitors Bird, Dropbike and Jump Bikes are available have faced complaints about abandoned e-scooters and bikes littering streets and sidewalks. ( MEHDI FEDOUACH / AFP/GETTY IMAGES FILE PHOTO )Lime doesn’t use docking stations and instead allows consumers to pick up and leave e-scooters along streets. Users unlock and locate available e-scooters through the company’s app, which will charge $1 to unlock it and about 30 cents per minute to use. Probst acknowledged regulations weren’t the only obstacle Lime encountered or will face in Canada.
