"It's only a matter of time before someone with a similar injury dies if they bleed out from their femoral artery. I now have metal in my leg for life holding it together. I think Lime know they have a problem with the heavy frame that is causing serious injuries like mine. All they did after I told them was give me a 6.99 refund for the hire instead of speaking with me."
"It was like in slow motion, the sound, snap' and then the pain so bad I would score it 100 out of 100. It was the most painful thing ever. If someone had walked past and offered to end it all there and then, I would have said yes."
William Radford, 27, suffered a catastrophic right-leg fracture in September when the back wheel of a hired Lime dockless e-bike skidded and the front-right arch weight fell on him. Surgeons at St George's Hospital warned the break was near the femoral artery and could have been potentially fatal. Radford now has metal implanted to hold the leg together and continues to recover more than a year later, unable to play football, run, or cycle with friends. Solicitors sent a letter of claim to Lime that has not been lodged in the High Court. Radford demands an urgent safety review and links the injury to the e-bike's heavy frame.
