Edinburgh could see a shared bike hire scheme reinstated across the city after the popular Just Eat bikes was disbanded in September 2021.

The council is now in talks with several hire companies but the frontrunners are understood to be Lime, the world’s largest micromobility company and fellow leading bike hire firm, Dott.

Lime will meet with the council this week to discuss the potential roll out of e-bikes, unveiling plans on what the scheme could look like and a demonstration of their bikes. Dott were in talks with the council earlier this week.
