The City of Minneapolis has entered into license agreements with Lime and Spin to participate in its Shared Bike and Scooter Program for the 2025 season. Bikes and scooters are available to rent now.
To start your ride: Download the operators’ app, complete the sign-up process and begin your rental. Go to minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/scooters/.
Stay safe when riding: Travel close to the edge of the road or in a bike lane; wear a helmet; yield to pedestrians; obey traffic laws; signal your turns; and ride one person per scooter or bike.
Riding on roads and streets: Ride with traffic, not against it. Travel with the flow of traffic, unless otherwise signed; stop at all stoplights and stop signs; use a light when riding at night; and Use all lanes and facilities correctly.
At the end of your ride: End your trip anywhere in the city; park upright using the kickstand; lock to a public bike rack or municipal signpost except a bus stop sign; and keep sidewalks, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel clear and accessible.
When driving a vehicle: Watch your speed – 20 is plenty; watch for bikes, scooters and pedestrians; look before you turn; yield to pedestrians and bikes; bikes can use a full travel lane even if a bike lane is present; pass at a safe distance, never less than three feet from a bicycle; do not stop or park in bike lanes; and open doors safely, checking it is safe before opening.

All of these services support the As You Go MPLS campaign, which encourages people to leave their cars at home and try walking, biking, rolling or taking transit more often. This year, the campaign shares tips on how to get started and reasons why biking can be fun, affordable and stress free. As You Go MPLS supports the City’s Transportation Action Plan, which has a goal of having 60 percent of trips in Minneapolis taken by walking, biking or transit by 2030.
