Andrew Dickens has exposed fellow ZB host Larry Williams and political editor Barry Soper as Lime e-scooter enthusiasts.

The two were spotted by ZB staff zooming about Auckland's CBD during the break, and reportedly were big fans.

Andrew confronted Barry about the incident, and how the two left their wives behind.

"You were supposed to double the wives, but you and Larry left them behind!"

Barry admits that got "so excited by it". 

"Larry was such a curmudgeon when it came to Lime scooters., he didn't wasnt to have anything to do with them. But by the end of the day, did he enjoy them?"

Barry says that he can see a time where congestion forces more people onto transport initiatives like this.

It comes after Mike Hosking last year admitted his enjoyment for the e-scooters after taking one for a test spin. 

Larry has not yet commented on his newfound love for the Lime.
