Seattle’s Scooter and Bikeshare Boom Reaches New Heights

Two riders push off to accelerate on their Lime scooters on the Second Avenue protected bike lane in Belltown.

Seattle bikeshare and scootershare companies clocked 6.3 million rides in 2024, up 28% over 2023 and a record high. The momentum has continued in the first quarter of 2025, with ridership up 76% over the first quarter of 2024. If this pace is maintained, Seattle is on track to exceed 10 million rides in 2025.
