Hoboken residents whizzed around Pier 13 on electric scooters last week, but they may need to wait a while before they can ride one again.

Last Monday, alternative transportation company, Lime, held a pop-up demonstration at Pier 13 in Hoboken. As many residents were leaving work or just passing by, they had an opportunity to test Lime-S electric scooters.

Lime has only been around for a year and a half, but is growing quickly. Evan Thies, a spokesman for the company, said Lime is now in 70 cities throughout the country, including Washington DC, Dallas, Boston, and recently New York under a pilot program.

Along with electric scooters, Lime provides cities with electric bikes and pedal-bikes.

"It's incredible how quickly the business is growing and people are looking at the bikes as not just for fun, but as something they rely on," said Thies.

However, there are no plans currently in the works to bring the bike- and shooter-share to the Mile Square City, Hoboken spokesman Santiago Melli-Huber said.

Hoboken already participates in the Hudson Bike Share, a regional bike rental program.

If Lime did one day come to Hoboken, the Mile Square City would be the third municipality in New Jersey to welcome the company. Lime is currently up and running in Keyport and Plainfield. Thies said the intention of the event was to educate Hoboken residents about the technology.
