50% off Lime Bikes: Wandsworth Council makes e-bikes fair, safe and affordable

Wandsworth is rolling ahead with its active travel ambitions by working with Lime, Forest and Voi to support e-bikes and e-scooters as a sustainable mode of travel. 

In the 12 months from May 2024 to May 2025, there were 6.8 million trips made by rented e-bike in Wandsworth. We’re backing that demand by making journeys safer and more accessible for everyone. 

Cabinet Member for Transport, Jenny Yates said “e-bikes are here to stay as a key part of Wandsworth’s transport network. We are committed to sustainable travel but it must be done responsibly, so we have worked with Lime, Forest and Voi to make sure e-bikes and scooters work for Wandsworth.”

To curb inconsiderate parking, we have already installed 170 dedicated on-street parking bays for e-bikes and scooters and created strict no-parking zones in town centres, and we’re planning further parking bays. The Lime and Voi e-scooters follow strict safety standards, including speed caps, always-on lights, and licence checks for e-scooter riders. 

We’ll soon be taking tougher action to remove badly parked rental e-bikes or e-scooters obstructing the pavement. You will be able to report poorly parked or abandoned e-bikes and e-scooters to the Council, and our officers will remove and impound them, at the operating company’s expense. 

This comes after we have already made progress to improve cycling and walking in Wandsworth, from the most ambitious bikehangar rollout in London to the biggest road resurfacing programme in London.

Now, we’re building on that work by making travel easier for everyone. E-bikes and e-scooters are already a popular mode of transport in Wandsworth, and we want to make sure everyone can benefit. Access for All from Wandsworth Council is Britain’s most generous concessionary scheme. If you’re eligible for Access for All, you can now get 50% off rides on Lime and Forest e-bikes, and Lime and Voi e-scooters as part of a new deal we have struck with providers in our borough. 

“This deal is a win-win,” said Council Leader Simon Hogg. “It’s about opening up affordable, sustainable travel that helps our residents to access work and entertainment opportunities across the borough. We’re proud that Lime, Forest and Voi have agreed to join Access for All and to operate respectfully and safely. We are making sure that no one is priced out of healthy and sustainable travel.” 

As a Listening Council, we’re continuing to listen to feedback to improve the scheme and will keep adding more parking bays where they’re needed.
