User reviews

No pricing transparency

It is impossible to find a pricing schedule for the service. Ultimately, in my opinion, it is overpriced. For a 10-15 minute distance by the slow scooter an Uber is likely cheaper and air-conditioned

Stole My Money

Horrible. Stole my money. Would only allow one rental. Obviously traveling with company. Started rental on one unit, still charged for the 45 seconds that it took me to realize that it was a waste.

Awesome

Could be a little faster maybe I got a bad one but enjoyed my ride

Price

But expensive for 5 minutes ride

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.
