Every piece is crafted from premium vegan microfibre leather, a superior choice for conscious consumers that mimics the luxury of animal leather but offers far greater durability, odour-resistance, and longevity than cheap PU or PVC.

To reward good driver behaviour in Sydney, LimeBike have taken to the streets to hand out “Good Parking Notices” to those who park their cars and e-bikes with care. Spotted in high-traffic areas including Sydney CBD and Bondi, the initiative seeks to encourage more individuals to practice good driving practices wherever they are, with designated wardens passing out free 10 minute ride passes to those who do good by their parks. As a special treat, the LimeBike parking wardens will be paying for select parking hours for some cars in traffic hotspots this weekend, just in case you needed some more incentive to park safely.
