  • A waste of money, it’s cheaper to Uber

    So they don’t post prices anywhere, they only offer you prepaid plans which are like 33 dollars for one consecutive hour of riding the scooter. This is unnecessary if you are just going 10 min down the road which you would probably thinks costs a few dollars or 5 at most, but then you can’t park it anywhere so you have to park in the street and walk to anywhere that you may want to go further. In total I road the scooter for ten minutes and spent 20 dollars, you can’t stop the time unless you are in specific spots, the scooters go extremely slow compared to other scooter share companies as well. I would definitely recommend to everyone that they should just Uber instead of wasting money on those things.
  • Hours of operation.

    At 2am I find myself with awful heartburn from Olive Garden spaghetti. So I head out in seek of some tums. Hotel said that their convenience store is open 24 hours a day so I head there just for it to be closed. Next idea Google said the cvs that’s around the corner is 24-7 so I head there on foot after passing one of these scooters, just for CVS to be closed. While walking in the opposite direction is a Walgreens a half mile up the road. I’m like I’ll use that scooter in my time of need. I download the app and accept the $25 fee just to find out the scooters have a strict time line. Nowhere on the site shows hours of operation. So after a 1 mile walk I’m better but without a scooter ride. I’ll delete the app now. Off to leave a bad review to CVS.
  • Scam

    Tried to charge my account 25$ before I even rented or selected anything!! The literal second step was adding your card information and I already felt skeptical about that. I put the card info in and press continue and immediately I got a text from my bank saying that newt tried charging me 25$!! That’s a lot of money to charge when I haven’t even done anything on your app yet!! Thank god I have my card locked while I’m on vacation or else I would have gotten scammed!!!
  • So slow it was hard to stay balanced

    Kept slowing down on its own unpredictably too. Not sure if this was just my unit but will have to try another to see
  • Super fun but not cheap

    Quick learning curve, fun to ride! App was easy to learn too! Little expensive though. It was the same price as an uber.
  • Overall convenient with connection issues

    I’ve used it about a half dozen times at this point. When it works it works well. However, there’s been about three scooters that I tried to connect to that either weren’t available or had some other problems.
  • Price fair, app needs work

    Signup was so painful and complicated I almost said I’ll just walk two miles. They must lose so much money to people who can’t get it to work. Scooters have QR codes to ride but app doesn’t even offer a way to scan. You have to find it on the map.
  • Scam

    I didn’t even get to use the app as soon as I tried to sign in it said my email was already in use then it tried to charge my card $25 without me even having an account and my dad had used it for a few minutes and it had charged him for $23 dollars such a scam green zones doesn’t work half the time don’t waste your money
  • Fun little experience

    For the short time we used it, it was definitely a fun little experience!!
  • These Scooters ROCK!!

    hubby and I rented the scooters two days in a row just to drive around and get some fresh air. We had such a wonderful time on them and suggest anyone to try them out.!!
