SAN FRANCISCO: Scooter- and bike-rental startup Lime is expanding to dozens more cities this year, its CEO said, leveraging the hundreds of millions of dollars in funding it has raised in an effort to dominate the North American and European markets.

The California-based company will launch its service in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Vienna, Austria, as early as next week, chief executive and co-founder Toby Sun told Reuters.
