Do be prepared to pay, though. Lime notes that the rate to reserve a scooter is the same as the per-minute rate for riding, so it could cost you a tidy sum if you’re determined to finish your moccaccino before setting off. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. It could discourage people from tying up scooters they’re not sure they’re going to use — you should still have a chance at grabbing a vehicle right away.
