Lime Scooters

E-Scooters cannot be ridden on sidewalks and must be ridden on streets or in designated park areas. During the initial Phase 1 period in June, the scooters can be ridden in Carter Park, Griggs Park, Fair Acres, Municipal Park, and Kellogg Lake Park. There is also a designated route that connects most of the parks and a route for the Historic District downtown. See the map for routes and parking areas.

The private company, Lime, operates and maintains the devices currently permitted in Carthage. This company is the only shared mobility device company allowed to operate in Carthage at this time.

Riders must be at least 16 years old.

The use of a helmet is strongly encouraged but is not required by law.
