In the OA army of fall 2025 recruits, the Lime Bike It is also a rather interesting existence. Many people have the impression that Lime is a green bicycle and scooter, but in fact, when they recruit technical posts, the difficulty and dimension of OA is not low, especially for algorithmic thinking, logical reasoning, and the comprehensive test of data processing ability. This time, I organize my own or my classmates' real experience to facilitate the reference of students who want to participate afterward.

Lime Bike OA Overview

Lime Bike's OA is typically initiated within 1-2 weeks of receiving a resume, and the assessment platform may be HackerRank or Codility. it takes about 90 minutes, and consists of 2 programming questions + 1 SQL + 1 logical reasoning + a number of choice questions (related to data structures, time complexity, probability, etc.).

The overall style favors practical scenarios, such as scheduling systems, map routing, and device status updates, which fits their business context.
Algorithmic problems are roughly around LeetCode Medium in difficulty, and the code must be able to AC all hidden cases and pass both time and space complexity.

Lime Bike OA Sample Questions

1. Bike Relocation Optimization

You are given a list of bikes with their current locations and a list of high-demand stations. Write a function to calculate the minimum number of moves required to relocate bikes so that each high-demand station has at least one move. required to relocate bikes so that each high-demand station has at least k bikes.

  • Input: current station IDs with bike counts, target station IDs, and k.
  • Output: integer (minimum moves).

2. Charging Station Scheduling

Given n e-bikes that need charging, each with different battery levels and charging rates, design an algorithm to schedule them into m charging stations to minimize the total time until all bikes are fully charged.

3. SQL - Find Most Active Riders

Write a SQL query to find the top 5 riders who completed the most trips in the last 30 days. The trips table contains.

trip_id, rider_id, start_time, end_time, distance_km

4. Logical Reasoning

If all "GeoFence zones" are subsets of the "Operating Area" but some "No-Parking zones" overlap with "Low-Speed zones", which of the following statements must be true? If all "GeoFence zones" are subsets of the "Operating Area" but some "No-Parking zones" overlap with "Low-Speed zones", which of the following statements must be true?

Summary & Recommendations

Lime Bike OA is not a large number of questions, but it is very comprehensive, requiring both algorithms and SQL, as well as testing logical reasoning and business understanding. It is recommended to prepare for it:

  • Brush up on LeetCode Graph,Greedy,Heap type of question
  • Familiarity with SQL aggregation and windowing functions
  • Look at more algorithmic ideas for traffic scheduling classes
  • Pay attention to the robustness of the code to avoid edge case errors.

If you get stuck in a formal assessment, keep your mind steady and try to score as many questions as you can AC first.

Extended Recommendations & Programhelp Assist advantage

Many students in Lime Bike OA are not actually unable to write code, but are stuck in two situations:

  1. The questions are very lifelike but the data is so large that it's easy to roll over in complexity;
  2. Uneven allocation of time when mixing multiple questions (Algorithm + SQL + Logic), one gets stuck and the overall rhythm gets messed up.

We at Programhelp have accumulated several Lime Bike OA practice sessions, which can help you familiarize yourself with the distribution of questions, step on the pitfalls in advance, and even do remote and untraceable voice assists in the formal assessment:

  • You're in front of the screen focusing on reading questions, writing code
  • We see the question surface in real time in the background, alerting you to edge cases and complexity
  • Stuck on SQL or logic questions give direct hints on ideas to ensure that all submissions are made within the time limit.

This will not only securely pass the OA, but also set the stage for the subsequent technical side.
After all, OA is just the first hurdle, the real opportunities come later, and Programhelp's strength is to help you cross this threshold smoothly.
