Troubleshooting

How to fix Limebike not working

Limebike is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach limebike.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Force quit and reopen the app
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and swipe the Lime card up; on Android, open Recents and swipe the app away. Reopen it and try the QR scan again.
Check Lime app permissions
On iPhone, open Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Lime and choose While Using the App; then allow Camera in Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera. On Android, open Settings > Apps > Lime > Permissions and allow Location and Camera, plus Bluetooth or Nearby devices if the app asks.
Reset Bluetooth and location
Turn Bluetooth off, then on. On iPhone, use Control Center; on Android, use Quick Settings. If the app still cannot find a vehicle, open Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and toggle Location Services off and on.
Reinstall and test another phone
Delete the app, restart the phone, then install it from the App Store or Google Play and sign in again. If the scan still fails, try another phone with the app to see if the problem is the vehicle or your device.

Uber Call a car through it if a bike is your usual short trip and the app is stuck.
Local transit Take your city bus or train when a bike would cover the same trip and the app fails.
Walk or own bike Fall back on your own bike or a walk for nearby trips while the service is unavailable.

About

What happens when Limebike goes down

Limebike is a dockless bike-share service with an app for finding and starting rides on its US city fleets, and commuters and casual riders use it for short trips. An outage cuts off the app's map and ride start steps, so a quick trip can turn into a stuck bike and a support call.

During an outage, the bike map can load slowly or show no nearby bikes. No bike means no ride, and ride start is the first hard break: the app may spin after you scan the code on a bike and then return to the map without confirming the bike is released. Ending a ride fails in a quieter way, because the lock may not report back and the app keeps the trip open. Problems are often local or partial: one city can be stuck while another works fine.

Questions

Limebike FAQ

Is Limebike down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Reports come from users to a public outage-reporting service. This site does not monitor the service and collects no reports itself. Check your side first: open another site and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data; if the app still fails on a different network, the trouble is likely not local.

Why does the app show no bikes or scooters nearby?

The map only shows vehicles that are available and inside the service area, so a dead battery or a vehicle already on a ride will not appear. Turn on location services for the app and refresh the map. If the same empty map shows up across town, the app or your account is the more likely problem.

What can I do if the QR code will not scan?

Give the app camera permission and hold the phone steady at a normal distance; glare on a dirty sticker stops many scans. Clean the code and try again in shade. If the camera lens is cracked, use a different phone.

Why was my card declined when I tried to start a ride?

The app checks the card before it releases a vehicle. A hold, an expired date, a billing address mismatch, or a bank block can stop the ride before it starts. Try another card in Payment, then check with your bank; a temporary fraud block is common when you use the service in a new city. If the app shows a charge without a ride, save the receipt and use the support option in the app.

Why will my ride not end, or why does the app keep charging me after I park?

Some vehicles need the lock closed and the app to confirm the end of the ride; a weak signal can leave the ride open even after you walk away. Take a photo of the parked vehicle, close the app, reopen it, and check Ride History for an active trip. If the trip is still open, use the support option in the app so the charge can be corrected.

How we track Limebike

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Limebike, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Limebike, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Limebike doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
