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.

Overpriced

Scooter

Cost way to much for a quick lil ride 4$ for 2 min.

App is glitchy

Constantly reads you in an incorrect area not allowing you to disconnect or park

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.

Awful

The app crashes and the scooters don’t work half the time. Now I have multiple refunds after being on with support. Avoid like the plague.

Uber is cheaper.

Next time I’ll save money and get an Uber

Strict about parking

You can only park certain places and the gps map is not very good

Best thing to do on iDrive!!!

Besides the good food cool sites this the best thing

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!!!

Warnings are way too loud and obnoxious but fun Ride

Horrible. Scooter goes 3 miles an hour. No message, no support. Not worth it. Uninstalled.

Too slow!

These scooters max out at 4mph...what's the point?
