uber lime

I was out at the river yesterday, not sure why but saw 2 lime bikes sitting there next to the boat launch.
Nice design huh?
Look at the custom fork with the notch for the torque armish thing (what is that called?)

The arm you're seeing on the hub is to engage the (probably drum) brakes, and the rear probably is also an IGH instead of derailer/sprockets. (IGHs and drum brakes are a lot more environment-tolerant and harder to screw them up accidentally (or even vandaliciously) vs disc or rim brakes, so makes sense to use them).

The "finger" on the fork that engages the "U" on the hub might be to engage a cover-sized torque arm, if this is a front hubmotor. Otherwise it is to give the brake something to react to (just like a hubmotor, the drum brake (and IGH) have two parts that push against each other to work, so the nonrotating part has to be very secure to function without damaging the frame).

Amber,
Gotcha, part of the brake, that finger looks pretty cool.
IGH/drum brake on both front and rear.
I see the cable going into it.

Uber skipped the front wheel fender, probably for the same reason, the rear is an enclosed plastic piece.

Thanks!

yeah, I wonder if they will ever be sold on the 2ndary market once they are replaced.
