Episode Details

Yarra Council has shut down its six-year e-bike trial after rejecting all bids for permanent contracts, with Lime—the only company that even tried—failing to agree on responsibility for bike cleanup and safety. Residents and officials alike raised concerns over bikes being dumped, footpath obstructions, reckless riding, and lack of helmet use. While some argue the concept still holds value with better infrastructure, the council concluded it couldn’t justify continuing without a responsible operator. The future of shared e-bikes in Yarra now hangs in the balance.
