Cheap and Convenient
the bikes themselves are automatically electric but if you hold the brakes loosely you can manually chose the speed and are overall comfy with adjustable height and a big enough basket for a bag, i definitely recommend people try it

Hello, we're glad you enjoy our bikes! Unfortunately, we have had to implement the $20 hold because of theft and vandalism. If you're seeing charges as high as $50, we recommend purchasing a day pass (4 hours for $8) or a membership ($20/month or $5/month if you have financial need). If you have a mechanical issue, please report it in the app so we know to find that bike and take care of it. Thanks!

Love these!
These would definitely get more attention too if there was more hubs throughout the community. I ride these every time I’m able to and if I could be able to pick one up in my town and ride it to the gathering place it’d be better. But my review I’m posting a 8/10 due to the fact that I can’t get them in my area without driving a good 13 miles.

We're so glad you enjoy the bikes so much! We are working on expanding, but we need the support of each municipality in order to set up bikes there.
First time

Hello, we're sorry to hear that you do not enjoy the electric bikes. We switched to e-bikes because they are more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities and fitness levels, and riders get most of the same health benefits as they would on a traditional pedal bike. We do offer a monthly pass, available in the app for $20, which gives you 60 minutes of ride-time per day.
Would not recommend
