Remember JUMP? They were acquired for $200M like, a year and a half ago. As far as I can tell, they don't exist anymore.

With the very recent Lime investment they laid off the NeMo (aka Jump) team and it’s product lines. The bikes were solid, rip.

I'm not sure where you're located, but the Jump bikes in Seattle are now operated by Lime (even though you still rent them in the Uber app for some reason).

Uber paid $170 million for a stake in Lime haha. The math works.
