Lime, the electric bike and scooter rental company backed by Uber, has filed for an initial public offering in the United States, with plans to complete the listing this year. The company operates shared micro-mobility fleets across cities globally and is looking to tap public markets to fund further growth. No pricing or share count details have been disclosed yet.
This IPO puts micro-mobility back on the radar as an investable category after years of private-market-only exposure. Investors in Uber already have indirect skin in the game, but a Lime listing would create a pure-play micro-mobility stock — rare in public markets. Watch how it's priced relative to profitability, since this sector has historically struggled to turn a consistent profit.
2025 (date TBD): Lime IPO pricing and first trading day. Ongoing: SEC S-1 filing release, which will reveal Lime's revenue, losses, and growth numbers for the first time publicly.
