text: Available exclusively in the Lime app for a few weeks
  Lime is adding Jump e-bikes to its app for the first time since the the company acquired the former Uber division in May, the company tells The Verge. The Jump e-bikes will be exclusively available in the Lime app while the company irons out any software kinks, at which point Jump e-bikes will continue to appear inside Ubers app as well.
  Uber handed the money-losing Jump bike and scooter sharing service to Lime in May as part of a $170 million investment, which Googles parent company Alphabet was involved in as well. But Uber quickly caused a stir as, weeks later, the company started scrapping tens of thousands of the bright red e-bikes around the United States because it apparently couldnt find a way to donate them. An Uber spokesperson told The Verge at the time that maintenance, liability, safety concerns, and a lack of consumer-grade charging equipment were concerns, and that the best approach was to responsibly recycle them.
  That said, Lime has been pushing the Jump e-bikes into new markets. The company says theyve launched in London, Paris, Denver, Seattle and Washington, DC, with Rochester, MN slated to get them later this week. The Jump e-bikes will appear in red in the Lime app on the map alongside its scooters.
