### 5/5 — Cheap and Convenient

*2024-05-26, version 1.0.405*

I love these bikes! i was surprised how cheap it was it only costs 15 cents a minute with 2 dollars to unlock the bike and the app is well designed so it’s easy to unlock and put back the bikes. the bike lanes in the rose district are with the car lane and you can’t use the sidewalks in the shopping areas but its easy to bike around everything in alleyways.
the bikes themselves are automatically electric but if you hold the brakes loosely you can manually chose the speed and are overall comfy with adjustable height and a big enough basket for a bag, i definitely recommend people try it

### 4/5 — $Extreme Pricing$

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.339*

o fun to ride! I enjoy them everytime, with anyone, buuuuuuuut there is no reason to charge us such a ridiculously expensive amount and/or withhold such a large amount in exchange for a short bike ride. Anywhere from $30-$50 (includes money they forcefully take from our bank accounts’ that we put on the app for bike ride purchases/purposes.) So if you don’t have at least that much on the card you’re using, don’t even waste your time and effort into using one, there is no way around it. Still 3 stars for being happy, enjoyable, you get your money that was on hold back after you put the bike back. Other 2 are for the ridiculous amount of money you MUST have in order to ride each time and poor maintenance care given, considering there are several people each week. Maybe if we were offered affordable options for rides you would get 5 star reviews 🤣🤣😁👋🏻

**Developer response:** Hello, we're glad you enjoy our bikes! Unfortunately, we have had to implement the $20 hold because of theft and vandalism. If you're seeing charges as high as $50, we recommend purchasing a day pass (4 hours for $8) or a membership ($20/month or $5/month if you have financial need). If you have a mechanical issue, please report it in the app so we know to find that bike and take care of it. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love these!

*2021-11-29, version 1.0.176*

I love riding these bikes I just wish it was more obtainable throughout the river. Like these can definitely be expanded into Jenks area and the broken arrow area.

These would definitely get more attention too if there was more hubs throughout the community. I ride these every time I’m able to and if I could be able to pick one up in my town and ride it to the gathering place it’d be better. But my review I’m posting a 8/10 due to the fact that I can’t get them in my area without driving a good 13 miles.

### 5/5 — First time

*2020-10-19, version 1.0.59*

My friend really loves the Lime scooters. I convinced her to try ‘This Machine’ bikes. I have not ridden a bike in over 30 years. The bike had a comfy seat, incredible balance and the tires were aired up to perfection. We rode from the gathering place down to Denver and then to Maple Ridge and back again. I look forward to my next ride!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-08-21, version 1.0.50*

These bikes are a ton of fun and easy to use!!

### 1/5 — More Expensive

*2020-07-24, version 1.0.46*

This Machine took away the bikes for the first 2 months of the pandemic, then reintroduced the service with electric bikes that basically pedal for you, not a feature for me. They raised the price for individual rides by $3, and removed the monthly option. Maybe a great service if you ride a bike once a year for fun.

### 1/5 — Would not recommend

*2020-07-07, version 1.0.37*

The app works 50% of the time and come to find out the bikes now do the pedaling for you. I just wanted to ride a regular bike. Also, returning the bike is now a 15 step process
