User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's concept and e-bikes, especially the flexible, eco-friendly transport option and Google Maps integration. However, many Android users face significant unlocking issues, unreliable bike availability data, and poorly maintained bikes with low battery. Customer service is reportedly unresponsive, with frustrating subscription changes and billing problems. Despite its potential and some positive experiences, the app currently struggles with technical and operational reliability.

Pros

Great concept with well-designed e-bikes that provide flexibility for short trips.
Useful for finding nearby stations and checking bike availability easily.
Integration with Google Maps enhances navigation and trip planning.
Provides an alternative to public transport, especially in hilly cities.
Good for spontaneous bike usage, helping decide between bike or public transport on the fly.

Cons

Frequent difficulties unlocking bikes via the app, especially on Android devices, often requiring multiple attempts or workarounds.
Bikes are often not fully charged, sometimes leading to interrupted rides.
Lack of accurate or real-time bike availability information in the app, causing mismatches between app data and actual bike presence.
Poor communication and service from customer support, including unresolved issues and lack of compensation follow-up.
Subscription model changes led to unexpected charges without user consent or clear notification.

Recent reviews

very good idea but rather weak execution: - payment issues - prizing - technical issues - wet saddles (would be fixed easily - slipping saddles - dislocated saddles - stopping batteries - high unavailability ratio

Die Bikes sind gut, aber das nützt oft nichts denn das Ausleihsystem funtioniert sehr unzuverlässig. Sprich es kommt häufig vor, dass man ein Velo gar nicht ausleihen kann. Jedes Mal, wenn man dem Kundendienst anruft, heisst es, dass grad ein Update stattfinden würde. Summa summarum: Gut gemeint, schlecht umgesetzt. Update Mai 2021, nach neuestem Update: Leider keine erkennbare Verbesserung. Update '25: funktioniert stabiler aber gibt trotzdem noch Situationen wo eine ganze Station nicht oeffnet
