Koloni 4+

Confused why i bought a membership but still have gotten charged both times I have used the bikes… isn’t that why I bought the membership ahead of time? Aside from that it’s really nice that they have so many hubs across our town to share these bikes and the trails all connect. I was nervous I would be too short for the bikes but they are the perfect height and have low bars so it’s easy to get on. I did notice I could get the gears to go up but not down so I ended up on 5 for the whole ride which made it difficult going uphill. Not sure if you’re able to test the bikes for this kind of thing before you start the rental…

We wanted to rent bikes at Islandic State Park. The app uses Bluetooth to connect to the lock on the bikes to unlock the one you want to rent. The idea is a solar panel on the bike charges the lock, but it obviously doesn’t work well. We had to try 8 different bikes to find one that had any battery power to turn on the lock’s Bluetooth, then it actually unlocked another bike that I hadn’t scanned with the app. The bike was not well maintained. Gears slipped and the brakes didn’t work. The process sounds great, but it just wasn’t pulled off well.

I personally got a chance to test out the bikes and the lockers provided by Koloni and couldn’t be more excited to see the advances the team makes. The bikes are study and easy to ride, and the lockers (when available) are a great way to store something on the go. The team did a great job with answering any manufacturing and fare questions I had about the products. I’m excited to see more koloni products as the company grows!
