The Great Lime Inquisition: How Much is That Scootin' Gonna Cost Me?
Ah, Melbourne. A city of trams, theatres, and the occasional rogue emu (allegedly). But lately, a new two-wheeled menace has invaded the streets – the humble Lime scooter. These zippy little lime (well, more like neon green) devils offer a tempting way to whizz around town, dodging pigeons and tourists with reckless abandon. But before youYeet yourself onto one and zoom off screaming "This is the best day of my life!", there's a crucial question: how much is this joyride gonna set me back?

Buckle Up, Buttercup: Unveiling the Lime Price Point
Fear not, thrill-seekers! The answer is not as scary as a magpie swooping down for your lunch. Here's the breakdown:
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
- Unlock Fee: There's a small $1 fee to, well, unlock the scooter and awaken it from its slumber. Think of it as a wake-up call for your inner adventurer.
- Per Minute Charge: This is where things get interesting. You'll be charged around 45 cents per minute you ride the scooter. So, a quick scoot down the block might only cost a couple of bucks, but a grand tour of Melbourne's backstreets could leave you with a lighter wallet (and possibly a bruised ego from dodgy scooter-related decisions).
Pro Tip: If you plan on scooting for a while, consider a day pass! For around $15, you can scoot all day (within reason, Lime doesn't want you living on their scooters) without worrying about the clock ticking.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Fear Not, Frugal Friend! Here's How to Save on Your Scootin' Adventures

- Keep an Eye Out for Deals: Lime occasionally offers promotions and discounts. Follow them on social media or check the app for sneaky deals to make your scooting adventures even more budget-friendly.
- Plan Your Route: Scooting aimlessly is fun, but it can also burn a hole in your pocket. Plan your route before you set off to avoid unnecessary scooting and maximize your scooting value (because that's a thing now).
