### 2/5 — OKAI

*2025-07-08, version 3.1.8*

I woke up gonna go for a ride and it won’t let me connect to it on the app so I don’t know what percent I’m at also it’s on locked and eco mode and when I try to connect it says vehicle is bound.

### 2/5 — The app

*2025-06-20, version 3.1.8*

The app is good but it logged me out the app and I signed back in and it keep saying vehicle is bounded and I couldn’t log back in

### 2/5 — bike won’t work with app

*2025-04-06, version 3.1.8*

my ranger eb50 doesn’t seem to work with the app. it connects fine but i can’t do anything with the app

### 2/5 — Can’t Unbind to connect

*2025-01-03, version 3.1.8*

My brother gave me his okai es10 and when I try to Bluetooth to it I can’t even when I factory restart the scooter. Horrible technology with these scooters gonna look for another brand to go with!

### 1/5 — Hmm

*2024-12-08, version 3.1.7*

Every update there’s nothing new neither for the meter style are the same no change

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2024-11-10, version 3.1.6*

This app does not synch to my new scooter ES51.

### 1/5 — Really bad customer support

*2024-11-04, version 3.1.6*

Basically like talking to a wall. They take weeks to respond, and theirs response is useless.

### 2/5 — Only good for unlocking the scooter.

*2024-11-02, version 3.1.6*

The app is not in sync with the scooter. The app will tell me that the battery is on 59% but the Beetle will tell me that I still have three bars. The Bluetooth doesn’t always connect so I don’t know in real time how many miles I’m going. it doesn’t even record or rather it hasn’t been recording my distance that I have traveled. It will lock and unlock the scooter perfectly tho.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-10-24, version 3.1.5*

Always a pain to connect it to the scooter. Half the time does not connect. The app changes speeds on its own and you get stuck half way to your destination with no way to fix it.

### 3/5 — Requires network connectivity to access scooter settings

*2024-07-19, version 3.1.1*

I found out today that if your phone doesn’t have access to the internet, you won’t be able to use the app to change settings or lock/unlock your scooter, which obviously would be very bad and could leave you stuck somewhere. Also, even if your phone has an internet connection but Okai’s servers are unavailable (as they are today, possibly because of the Cloudstrike outage) the situation is the same. The app will not connect to your scooter. Remote server connection should not be necessary. All settings updated should be possible with only a Bluetooth connection but the app will not work without an internet connection. Luckily I am within the return window for my OKAI Neon Ultra as this huge oversight is unacceptable. If OKAI was to drop support for their app or deprecate their servers, the scooter would be little more than a paperweight.

### 1/5 — Worst Ever

*2024-07-18, version 3.1.1*

i had the app on my old phone to control the scooter such as the speed and lights and more . Since i got a new phone i had to re download to app and i forgot my password . We called customer service and they said that can’t change the password and they can not give us a new password . I can no longer long into or use the app . This result me into only be able to be on 15 speed . This app is the worst .

### 1/5 — Okai App & Scooter

*2024-06-27, version 3.1.1*

App is garbage, can’t connect my newly bought okai scooter, just shows my neighbours but no option to connect it to mine tried resetting the scooter & app, still won’t work. overpriced scooter with promises that don’t live up to standard

### 1/5 — The only thing making me regret buying my scooter is the app

*2024-06-19, version 3.1.0*

The app is really bad. You have no way to adjust The drive modes and it doesn’t even tell you what the drive modes are. Honestly thinking abt returning the scooter because of how bad this app is.

I honestly think I’m going to return my scooter because of how bad the app is.

### 1/5 — what happened?

*2024-06-05, version 3.1.0*

this app was a little buggy before, but I very much dislike how they removed the custom color effects for each different drive mode. there used to be an option to edit the way it looked when you were accelerating, stationary, and charging. now it only adjusts for when it’s on or charging, but with lesser effect options. I know I’m not the only one who specifically bought one of their scooters because of the unique color settings that were available. are their any other brands that have more options?

### 2/5 — Where do I find my bike tracking?

*2024-05-31, version 3.1.0*

On the description of this bike it says you can access live location tracking, however there is no such option in the app. This is kinda frustrating as it would be really nice to have access to this feature. (And yes, my phone settings give the app full location access). It’s also sorta annoying that if you change your screen display, it changes back to the default every time you turn the bike off. Why wouldn’t that setting just stay?

### 1/5 — No funciona

La app no funciona en iPhone, no carga las funciones del scooter

### 1/5 — OKAI eb50 e-bike

*2026-01-09, version 3.1.16*

On the app I can’t change colors on my safety lights and when I change the style blinking or anything nothing works is that something OKAI can work on

### 1/5 — OKAI eb50 e-bike

*2025-10-10, version 3.1.12*

On the app I can’t change colors on my safety lights and when I change the style blinking or anything nothing works

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-08-03, version 3.1.8*

Bought my okai neon pro 2 right from bestbuy 2 years ago, it has always said already bound for me which never made sense kinda waited for updates on the app to be fixed but no resolution has been made I try to “merge” accounts and then after I put in the verification code goes right back to saying it’s bound already. It’s a great scooter I’ve always loved riding it but I was really hoping to see all the cool stuff on the app first hand. Especially for a scooter brand new cost close to a grand🙁 if anyone knows how to help I’d love to take suggestions 🙏

### 1/5 — Update on iOS not working

*2025-06-17, version 3.1.8*

I finally got my Scooter to bind to the software. It keeps wanting to add the “Christmas software version 3.11” but won’t update.

### 1/5 — Eric

*2025-06-06, version 3.1.8*

Okey when u update the app and everything else when u turn off your iPhone or even reset it keeps on bring up the update message when u have already updated it and it’s getting very annoying and that error message needs too be fixed and handled properly that’s why I given it such a low rating

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2025-05-28, version 3.1.8*

Is not updating on the iPhone it seems to be stuck in one position and work on my scooter

### 1/5 — 10 yrs experience

*2025-05-07, version 3.1.8*

The only good thing about this okai scooter was that it is so bad that it made me purchase another where everything actually works. After a month of use just turned off and nothing works anymore. It’s $600 wasted on nice neon lighted scooter that lasted a month.

### 1/5 — I hate this scooter

*2025-04-06, version 3.1.8*

This is the worst scooter possible history of the entire world, the battery dies in two seconds and the battery will just like actually die and you won’t have a scooter anymore because the scooter doesn’t work because of the batteries is broken and I hate the scooter and I think I just broke the charger and this stupid company won’t do anything about even though it’s their faultdo not ever buy this. It is awful and the top speed is 11 miles an hour when it says, it’s supposed to go 25. DONT BUY

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-06-19, version 3.1.0*

I was wondering how to change the ES20 light

### 5/5 — OKAI neon pro

*2023-08-19, version 3.0.2*

I have an OKAI neon pro and have been using this app for a week now and it’s super user friendly easy to setup scooter with and super smooth ui. I have seen so many bad reviews but idk why I haven’t had a single issue yet and couldn’t be happier … your scooter is amazing btw.

### 5/5 — improving

*2023-06-20, version 3.0.1*

i’m super excited to say, keep these amazing updates coming.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-07-27, version 2.12.5*

Now that the app works it’s great! I’m able to track my rides, how fast I’m going. And even enable cruise control which is so much better than holding the speed down for long paths. It’s also so much fun customizing the LEDS to make it personalized. Such a great app!

### 5/5 — Okai Beetle

*2022-02-17*

I downloaded this app and it still needs some improvements and it disconnects from my beetle, I do love the fact that I can use the app to change my speed or turn off my beetle, it shows in one place I’ve gone over 300 miles but I think that was a factory test or something because I have only ridden this for 4 miles so far. The reason why it gets 5 stars is because I LOVE my Okai Beetle and I love the app support!! I am very impressed with them and how they try to help you!  The beetle can go up to 16 mph but mine only goes up to 13 mph, which seems pretty fast so far. It’s super cute and I look forward to all the app improvements 😁.

### 4/5 — It works

*2025-07-06, version 3.1.8*

It does it job but seriously needs to be improved and pls add the ability to use ur phone NFC to unlock and lock

### 4/5 — PLEEAAASSEEE FIX THIS

*2025-06-25, version 3.1.8*

Honestly, I love my scooter, the OKAI Neon Ultra, BUT there’s a few problems in the app, and the scooter.  

First off, the app should allow a LOT more dashboard styles, I hate being restricted to dark, light, and Christmas.  It also needs a setting for the lights to have them just neutral and not breathing or meteor all the time.  It desperately needs a way to connect to the scooter other than Bluetooth, because anybody could find the scooter in the vicinity and unless I lock it up with a chain, they can connect and take it.  Lastly, PLEASE add cruise control and exact battery percent on the dash board, I hate having to stop to check my phone to see my percent battery.

Secondly the scooter, the rear fender is flimsy and the screws fell out, so it’s basically un-usable in that regard and I get mud all over me when riding. 

A response at least would be appreciated.  Thanks.

### 4/5 — Worked for me.

*2023-03-08, version 2.16.3*

At one point a window didn’t have a way to navigate to another. Restarted the app and hasn’t misbehaved since. Other than that it’s worked fine. 

I’d like to find a way to stop the headlight flashing when in eco mode but that isn’t an app problem.

### 3/5 — Scooter app review

*2024-12-26, version 3.1.7*

Add background app refresh and more fine tuning to the Bluetooth connection with your phone. More lighting effects or options would be cool. More face customization to the scooter meter. Besides that pretty good app that’s useful with the scooter. Just turn on the push to start mode.

### 3/5 — Meter dashboard

*2024-07-25, version 3.1.1*

The app is fine but the 3  dashboard options for the stride bike are all very difficult to read which power level is on. It is so tiny that you can’t read whether it’s a 0,1,2,or 3.  Please update the app to make a dashboard option with larger numbers.  Most would prefer smaller speedometer numbers and larger power level numbers
