Hidden/Unexpected Charges
Apr 13

Downloaded this app because I was out walking on a hot day, and saw a GCOO scooter with an advertisement hanging from the scooter that showed the comparison between Lime and GCOO cost per mile. While GCOO is cheaper per mile, they don’t tell you how much it will cost if you end your ride inside a “gray-zone”. I assumed it would be a $1-2 charge. When I got to my house, the app said it would cost $12 to leave the scooter there. More than twice the cost of the ride itself. I did not and cannot afford to pay that much, so I rode back 2 miles to leave inside a regular drop zone. That wasted an extra 10 minutes of time. It also strained my wrist further because the combination of rattley handlebar and touch-to-push accelerator puts significant strain on your wrist. The speed was also very inconsistent throughout the ride. Annoying ride overall.It seems their business model is to use cheap scooters, and streamline scooter pickup so their drivers spend less time going out of their way to pick up uncharged scooters. This allows them to charge a slightly lower cost per mile and cost per minute than other rental scooters companies. We’ll see how it works out in the long run. Judging from this one ride, I don’t think it’ll work out well.

Badly built app. Requires access to Bluetooth Camera and Photos (???). Hard NO. Pricing is not revealed until you create an account and login. I’m thrilled to see a service like this in Phuket but unfortunately this company seems to be following a dream already abandoned by western companies. Successful bike sharing operators elsewhere have realized to partner with an application platform like Lyft or Uber instead of reinventing. They should offload this App to Grab if possible. The bikes look nice but are all E bikes so not really an exercise option.

I ride lime scooters a ton cause i live in a hill and never wanna walk back up, so i know how the typical rental scooters are. and let me say the scooters from these guys were so good it was crazy. they accelerate and go way faster then lime scooters. they made it up steep hills with two of us on it with ease and the price was pretty pretty cheap. definitely recommend these guys compared to the other scooters also, the cup holders are fire too

A Complete Wretched Scam

This idiotic app is a transparent bait-and-switch scam. I picked up a bike in DTLA as I was carrying something heavy a few blocks to my office. At the end of the ride, with no prior indication, I couldn’t leave the bike anywhere in DTLA since the whole city is a “red zone.” The moronic scam app would have me ride to some distant location to stop the ride and then hike all the way back. The app is still sending me updates that the bike is still out my door and I’m still “riding” and being charged for it. They absolutely need to criminalize this behavior, and I will absolutely be suing unless I get a full refund for this scam app.
