Seattle riders are embracing shared micromobility at record levels, according to Lime’s newly released 2025 Ride Replay. The annual recap shows that people took 9.7 million electric scooter and bike-share trips in Seattle, marking a 61% increase compared to 2024. The growth highlights how deeply shared bikes and scooters have become part of everyday transportation across the city. And one Seattle landmark stood out as the top destination in the country, according to Lime’s data.

One destination stood out above all others: Lime reported that Pike Place Market was the most popular trip end location in all of North America, reflecting its appeal to both locals and visitors navigating downtown Seattle. Nearby streets and public spaces surrounding the market also ranked among the city’s most common drop-off spots.
Usage peaked during the summer, with August emerging as the busiest month, logging more than 1.3 million rides. The single highest ridership day came on September 27, when riders completed just under 60,000 trips in one day. On a global scale, Lime found that Fridays were the most popular day of the week to ride, suggesting micromobility’s strong role in commuting and social plans alike.
Seattle also played a key role in Lime’s product expansion. In May, the city became the first in the world to launch the LimeGlider, a seated electric vehicle designed for longer, more comfortable trips. Since its debut, riders have taken more than 1.8 million LimeGlider trips.
Lime and Bird both operate locally through Seattle’s e-bike and scooter-share program, which supports short, car-free trips. The city also encourages transit connections through its Bike and Scoot to Transit program, offering rewards like free transit tickets and ride credits for parking near eligible stations. To cut down on sidewalk clutter during growing ridership, the Seattle Department of Transportation is adding over 200 new bike and scooter corrals to encourage appropriate parking practices.
