Lime Research

Last week we began discussing Lime Scooters; their impacts, their costs, methods of payment, Juicers etc.

We generated a number of questions and today were part of small groups that tried to gain information from reputable websites. We had a discussion about BIAS as one group were attempting to find out whether Limes are actually eco friendly. Ben mentioned that of course the Lime website says they are, but without backing this up with independent evidence.
