Oh no. My girlfriend and I recently rented some Lime bikes in Calgary.
The brakes on hers weren't reliable enough to go down hills, let alone stop in an emergency. Mine weren't much better.
We left appropriate reviews, and were able to tell the next rider which to use, but they really need a quick maintenance survey, even just for brake shape, and perhaps a "flag bike as dangerous" button.
Also found the e-assist awkward, particularly at low speeds around pedestrians.
Would ride again, but just double check the brakes/mainteance.
