Get ready, Dallas pedestrians. Bike-sharing on the already crowded sidewalks is about to get some extra zip. LimeBike will soon roll out new electric wheels to stand out in Dallas' bike-share pack.

The venture-backed San Francisco Bay Area startup plans to debut electric scooters in Dallas by April and electric bikes by May, said Caen Contee, who leads LimeBike's marketing and partnerships.

Five dockless bike-share companies are in Dallas — Ofo, LimeBike, Spin, MoBike and VBikes — and two more are looking at expanding to the city. City officials estimate that between 18,000 and 20,000 bikes are scattered throughout Dallas.

LimeBike, which has one of the largest Dallas fleets with about 10,000 bikes, is in discussions with the city on adding the new scooters and electric bikes gradually. Contee said it will swap out regular bikes for the other two modes of transit. He said the mix in Dallas will depend on demand.

"We don't want to just keep increasing overall levels," he said.

Caen Contee, who leads marketing and partnerships at LimeBike, says electric scooters will debut in Dallas in April, with electric bikes coming in May.

Dallas will be the third city to have LimeBike's complete fleet, Contee said. San Diego has been its test market for the three products and Seattle will soon get all three, he said.

The electric bikes and scooters give customers an easy, affordable way to travel a longer distance and skip the sweat when commuting in work clothes, Contee said.

"Bikes are seen as yes, nostalgic, but also work," he said. With the electric bikes, "it's like you're getting a burst of wind the whole time behind you."

The average ride on one of LimeBike's regular bikes is about a mile, he said. Its electric bikes can travel up to 70 miles and electric scooters can travel up to 40 miles. The bikes and scooters max out at 14.8 miles per hour.

LimeBike's electric bikes and scooters cost $1 to start and an additional 15 cents per minute compared to regular bikes, which cost $1 for every 30 minutes.

Contee said a local operations team will maintain the electric fleet. They'll get an alert when they need to swap out the rechargeable battery of an electric bike or switch out a low-power scooter. Customers can check the charge of an electric bike or scooter before they unlock it with their smartphone app. If it's below a certain threshold, it cannot be unlocked.
