Beam Mobility
The Singapore startup that turned the shared e-scooter into a negotiation with city hall - and is now merging its way to more than 100 cities.
Lime
Lime is the world's largest shared electric vehicle company, renting dockless e-scooters and e-bikes through a single app across more than 200 cities in nearly 30 countries. Founded in 2017 as LimeBike, it pitches micromobility as the practical alternative to short car trips: cheaper, electric, and carbon-free. After surviving a brutal industry shakeout, Lime has turned cash-flow positive and filed to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker LIME.
