### 1/5 — Lambeth my bike

*2025-04-27, version 1.2.6*

Great service in theory but battery was (once again) less than half charged, so you are lucky to get more than a couple of hours use before pedalling becomes heart attack territory. 
We booked it for 8 hours to move stuff, it died after 2 hours and 3 miles.

### 5/5 — Super easy, useful and value.

*2025-03-24, version 1.2.6*

Swift way to book a cargo bike, no fuss, seamless process and excellent customer service. Had a booking issue and emailed customer service and they resolved in less than 90 seconds. Battery replacement was also mega quick! Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Great

*2024-12-15, version 1.2.4*

Missing the rain cover from last year…but great as always!

### 1/5 — Does the job

*2024-10-13, version 1.2.4*

Basic app that lets you hire a cargo bike. Clunky but app mostly works. Random problems logging in and support hard to get in time on the street. Battery life of bike often a problem

### 5/5 — Great bike, easy ride

*2024-09-08, version 1.2.4*

Enjoyed delivering equipment and taking a passenger for a ride. So many people were jealous of my wheels.

### 5/5 — Fantastic service and getting better

*2024-08-16, version 1.2.4*

App used to be clunky - photo uploads to end sessions wouldn't work, app wouldn't remember me and I had to log in every time, among other annoyances. Those are all fixed and more. The bike itself is awesome and easy to use. Highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Great experience

*2024-08-07, version 1.2.4*

Echoing others about the app set up and booking for the first time has not been very smooth. But got there eventually. Used the cargo bike to take my kids around town and loved the experience. Will certainly use it more often!

### 3/5 — Does the job

*2024-07-09*

Basic app that lets you hire a cargo bike and works ok. A bit clunky but app pworks. Several improvements would help make this better & easier for hiring.

### 5/5 — Great way to hire e-cargo bikes

*2024-04-05, version 1.1.0*

Easy way to book an electric cargo bike in Lambeth (and some other London boroughs, I believe). After a few teething problems the app is functioning well now. You can use the app to book in advance and unlock the bike when it’s time to ride - a bit like Lime bikes but cheaper and carries much much more!

### 5/5 — Great app and bike share

*2024-03-26, version 1.1.0*

Brilliant ! Used to collect gardening. Just like zipcar but way cheaper and eco friendly and easier rhan driving a car!
