Lime scooters will be pushed out of Bowen Hills next Friday as part of an Ekka ban agreed between show organisers and the scooter company.
Ekka organisers say the popular electric scooters would create too many problems within the Brisbane Showgrounds precinct, and Lime will introduce GPS ‘geo-fencing’ to prevent its users from riding them in the area.
Lime currently has about 700 scooters operating in Brisbane, but will have to scale back to 400 after a council tender was awarded to allow competitor Neuron to begin operating.
