I tried the new model of #LimeBikes today in #Paris
Positive side:
* More stable than the older model. Huge + for smaller riders
Mehh side
* Acceleration is too much. Unsettling for the occasional rider (I was rear ended by one of those during last tube strikes in London)
* Brakes are still too weak
* Still too much of assistance. I got zero exercise out of it. I wish it could be tweaked.
* They reverted back to a one leg stand.

Meeh (continued) * I had to do a shitty safety quizz to unlock the bike (probably done one years ago already). No valuable content. Just some ass covering/time wasting. Been a customer for years so no reason to offer that stuff again other than some pitiful attempt to discharge some liability. Should offer that for car rental * I don't think they will be more durable than the older one * Still extremely expensive #BikeTooter #LimeBikea
