More scooters and electric bikes seen at streets

 You see them scooting around the streets of Grand Rapids — and now the city’s micromobility pilot program, which introduced electric scooters to city streets, is adding electric bikes.

Mobility company Lime has put 300 new scooters on the streets and added 150 bikes with an electric push to the mix.

The program gave South Dakotans Jim and Veronica Cunnigham, here for their semiannual vacation to Grand Rapids, a new way to get around town this time.

“This downtown is beautiful and the way to get around, man, these just make it excellent,” Jim Cunnigham said.

Before that she couldn’t even leave the house after a series of falls and a broken ankle.” Spooner said, despite the difficulties in her life, Kinch continues to remain positive and real...
