Kamala Harris Faces a Faster, Uglier Version of the Internet
Politicians have long faced racist and sexist attacks online. But Ms. Harris is being attacked on more platforms, with new technologies and in front of bigger audiences than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were.

Lime tests two new e-bikes you don’t have to pedal

Lime is testing two new e-bikes designed to make bike-sharing accessible to a wider range of riders. Alongside throttles that mean you don’t have to pedal to move, the LimeBike and the LimeGlider both offer 20-inch wheels with fat tires for better traction, step-through frames to make getting on and off easier, and lower centers of gravity for more stability.
The LimeBike is meant to “complement” the pedal-assist Gen4 e-bike that Lime launched in 2022. It comes with pedals as well as a handlebar throttle, allowing riders to either pedal with electric assist or move with electric power only. Its seatpost has a quick-adjust clamp to make it easier to move up or down, among other improvements.

The LimeBike lets you choose between using pedal assist or a throttle.
The LimeGlider, on the other hand, swaps the pedals for footrests and is throttle-only. It also has a larger padded seat that’s lower to the ground, making for a more comfortable ride than the company’s e-bikes or the seated e-scooter Lime launched last year.
Both the LimeGlider and LimeBike offer larger baskets and better phone holders than the company’s existing models. “The LimeGlider and LimeBike offer a glimpse at the future of micromobility, designed with a wider rider audience in mind to help us draw closer to our mission of building a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free,” Lime CEO Wayne Ting says in a press release.
For now, Lime is testing the LimeBike in Atlanta and Zurich, while the LimeGlider will be available as a pilot in Seattle in mid-August and Zurich later this summer.
