Ratings and reviews

Expensive. A 20 minute ride is 9 nearly 10 dollars. Not worth it to ride more than 1 time a month. Plus the payment system is not good. You have to preload money into the app and the cheapest preload option you are allowed to put in the app is 15$ so you have to make a commitment if you really want to ride. Superpedestrian is better. They just charge directly to your card, it is about the same price, but I would much rather charge from my card directly instead of having to add a minimum of 15$.

Decent when it works. Terrible mostly though. It use to work fine but the last several times we've tried to use it it has been terrible. Payment mehods would never go through. Constant errors. The map doesn't show where the scooters are located most the time. And when it does all the scooters are usually dead. You might be lucky to find one with a low battery midday. It's also crazy exspensive for what you get. During a weekend the app is worthless - I guess too many people using it.

Wheels are hard on most ones I've used, makes you feel every little rock on the ground and the routes I use are fairly smooth. I'd give 4* if the wheels were more rubbery (for smoother rides). The loss of the final star is due to rates... kinda pricey: $ per min. Pretty fun if you have a smooth route with minimal traffic. Overall... 3.3* it's pretty fun overall.
