The electric scooter company Lime, which has taken the country by storm, has decided to immediately remove one of the company's brands from every city across the globe after determining the scooters could break apart while in use.

The decision to suddenly pull the scooters off the streets arrived several weeks after the company saying that the same model occasionally breaks apart ‘when subjected to repeated abuse'.

Lime Scooters refused to confirm to Stuff whether the Okai scooters were in Auckland or in Christchurch.

'We are actively looking into reports that scooters manufactured by Okai may break and are working cooperatively with the US Consumers Product Safety Commission to get to the bottom of this,” says a Lime Spokesperson.

'Safety is Lime's highest priority and as a precaution we are immediately decommissioning all Okai scooters in the global fleet.”

The vast majority of Lime's fleet was manufactured by other companies, and decommissioned Okai scooters would be replaced with newer, more advance scooters, he says.

The spokesperson declined to answer further questions on whether the affected Okai scooters were in New Zealand or if there had been reports of scooters breaking apart in the country.
