Town of Ajax launches shared e-bike and e-scooters program with Lime Canada 
Join us for the official launch event at Rotary Park on July 3 at 1:30 p.m.!  

The Town of Ajax has partnered with Lime Canada to offer continued access to e-scooters and e-bikes for residents and visitors. Electric kick scooters and pedal assist e-bikes offer convenient transportation options for people without access to a car, who do not live near transit and who may not have the physical capacity to use conventional bikes and scooters. 

Lime Canada will have various convenient locations set up around the Town to ensure easy access from one destination to the next, including work, the Ajax waterfront, shops or appointments.

The community is invited to attend the official launch of the new shared e-scooter and e-bike program with Ajax Council, Town staff and Lime Canada on Thursday, July 3, 2025, at the south parking lot of the Ajax Community Centre (75 Centennial Rd, Ajax, ON)  from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.!

The afternoon will include opening remarks from Ajax Council, an opportunity to learn more about the program, demonstrations from Lime Canada and a chance to try using their e-scooters and e-bikes.
