Jump (stylized as JUMP) was a dockless scooter and electric bicycle sharing system operating in the United States, New Zealand, Canada, France, Germany, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia. The bikes were a bright red orange and weighed 70 pounds (32 kg). Riders unlocked bikes using the Uber app and were charged to their Uber account.

Each Jump bike had a 250-watt electric motor which powered the front wheel. Jump employees swapped out the battery packs every three days. At the end of a ride, the bikes had to be locked to a sidewalk bicycle rack.

Uber acquired the company in April 2018, and expansion into European markets began in June that year. In May 2020, Lime took over the Jump business as part of an investment deal with Uber.
