bad customer service and actual service

The bike wouldn’t dock, customer service was a whole ordeal and tried to make me pay $1200 for “stealing” it when i was just trying to return it.

Bad Docks

The docking stations are terrible and so is the customer service line.

Not what is hyped up to be!!!

I’ve seen others have issues with payments or returning a bike and still being charged. I have money in the bank and the app keeps telling me “find another form of payment”. I uploaded three different credit cards that has funds on them. I keep getting the same message. Smfh!!!!!

If someone was trying to kidnap me and my only way out was a blue bike, it would be a WRAP for me, instant prey.

This is not my first time having difficulties with payments. I even had it on payday so I know the problems not me. Great idea but terrible service.
PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER OR GIVE US BACK OUR PARKING SPOTS!!!!!!!!

Unreliable. Horrible experience

No bikes when you need one, no docks when you need one. So you walk a lot to find a bike and you walk a lot after docking it far from your destination. More often than not, walking directly to your destination is the faster option.
No improvement in years.

Stop losing my account info

So annoying to always have to re-login and it never remembers my email. Useless POS
