So easy to hop on a bike and hop off at or close to your destination. The bikes could use a little work but they were easily adjustable and perfectly rideable.
Overcharged Me $75
The app didn’t register that the bike was returned when it actually was. I got charged for 2 extra days of use for the bike because of this. I was with a large party of 15 and it happened to every single one of them as well after our bike ride. I eventually got my my money back, but this was never a problem for me with Citi Bike, Bird, or Lime. They need to implement a system where you can not use another bike until your bike is docked and they need to notify you when you’re away from your bike that “it hasn’t been returned properly” so people don’t go back home to another city while being charged. They also should make you take a picture right then and there like Lime to confirm you docked it every time. I personally will never use this app again and will walk over biking if this is my only option in another city.
Terrible App
weakest app ever, they don’t even accept apple pay.
App still says “dock bike to end ride”
A trips was mistakenly left open when the dock didn’t register the bike and the issue was resolved over the phone but the app still displays “dock bike to end ride”
Maybe it’s good, couldn’t log in
Attempted to create an account in Austin, but immediately hit a snag logging in and attempts to reset my password were to no avail. Really derailed my plans, sadly. Update - after two days since creating my account and being unable to login, I still have yet to receive an email to reset my password. Useless.
Bikes
I’m getting charged everyday one I only used the bikes once
Super fun but needs some help
My husband and I just visited Austin and used these bikes and walking almost exclusively while in the city. Great idea, great way to see the city, lots of convenient docking sites. The reason for three stars… bikes need more regular maintenance checks, as quite a few were damaged or missing batteries. The biggest problem is that while there are often e-bikes available, they are never charged. You find one to none that are charged and ready to ride at each docking station. We noticed the solar panels, but if that alone is used to charge them, then they are not able to charge overnight or on overcast days. We would stop at each dock along our route to dock to avoid additional charges and also to “upgrade “ our bikes to charged ones if possible. You can just peddle these bikes but they’re not great for that and you would be better off renting a non e-bicycle elsewhere. Also, on one occasion we tried to unlock a fully charged bike but the app didn’t show that it was docked so we couldn’t get it. Anyhow, if you could fix the charging issues then this would be an almost perfect win.
This version features a new walkthrough and updated map zoom level to show nearby bike/dock availability that is most relevant to you. Updated menu options make system information and support easier to find. Among other improvements, this version also includes minor bug fixes. Check out a bike and get riding today!
