  • Over charged

    The app would not let me end the ride for an extra four minutes even though I was ending in a designated area. A 6 minute ride wound up being charged as 10 minutes.
  • Bello family vacation Kissimmee, FL 2022

    Had a great ride. Picked up near ICON Pak. Smooth ride and process was fast and efficient.
    Will ride again.
  • eh

    while it had good potential it was a struggle to be able to ride with multiple people. the app should have a feature where one person can rent more than one at a time
  • Took forever getting them all going

    Too much charges
  • Could be better.

    It doesn’t go fast and it slows down when crossing road which could be bad and it never lets me end when I’m in the green zone in between the yellow lines like it says to go. Fix that and it will be 5 stars
  • Bad turn in

    Would not turn in when I was done. It kept charging my more and more money for nothing
  • Too expensive - not worth it

    I rode 3 miles. Took 30 mins and cost $20. Lyft back was less than $10 and quicker. First scooter wouldn’t unlock. 2nd ok. They are on a 3-4mph “geo-fence” of some sort around certain areas. Makes the ride very jerky as you don’t know when it will respond to throttle inputs, or randomly hit the brakes. Not enough torque/power to get you safely across intersections. I had to cross 2 lanes slightly uphill to get across busy freeway on ramp. Scary and embarrassing to have to pedal push it up the hill like a kid on a bike with training wheels.

    The “scoot zones” are very restrictive. I had to backtrack 0.3 miles to close it out when trying to visit a popular restaurant in a shopping strip. That’s a 10min walk in Florida humidity. They obviously pay a lot of people to flood them with 5-star ratings. Read the 1-3 stars. Buyer beware!
  • Great customer service

    I made a mistake on a ride, called customer service, spoke to a real human being, he fix the problem, 10 out of 10 will use again! Fun.
  • Not good

    Tried to take it down the same street I took it on. Took me about a mile and then forced me to walk it back manually, about a 3rd of that, as it locked me out for being “out of zone”. Then proceeded it charge me for it.
  • happy
