It's generally a good service and unlike what other comments say, most bikes are in good shape. HOWEVER 1) electric bikes are not very useful as the pedal assist is not very strong, so I always use the mechanical ones which are fine. 2) As a foreigner, I can't add my card to the app. So every time I want a bike I need to use my credit card, which means every time there's a "pending" 300€ added to my card, which is a lot, because these don't go away quickly (I still have some from a week ago).

Terrible experience overall. Firstly, it's like they don't want you to use their service because their system refuses your payment multiple times before it finally works. And once you pay, get your code and try to put it in the bike, it refuses it. Error messages every time, even if you try on multiple bikes. Please never depend on it if you're in any urgent situation. It's very frustrating, I'll never use it again.

Horrible experience to sign up. Resets everything when switching to a different app (e.g. to verify phone number) or when a password manager like LastPass is being used. After disabling the password manager and writing down my phone number first I am being greeted with an "Oops, there seems to be a problem with the server." Such a waste of time for nothing.

Horrible. Complicated sign-up. And then the majority of the bikes don't even work (for various dubious error messages which you don't understand) and there's no way of seeing on the app which stations hold working bikes, so a lot of time can get wasted in search for a single working bike. Also beware - €300 deposit!!!

in general a terrible app, often crashing and not working. Now not showing the bikes anymore. update 8/10/2025: received an email with nice new updates. However, they never fix the important errors in the app. Still can't use the app, it says 'server error' all the time. Tried uninstalling, installing, clearing cache etc. nothing..

Horrible customer experience. Kept randomly refuse credit cards at payment. Now that it has accepted one, the screen at the bike station is frozen and I have to walk to another one. If I wanted to walk I wouldn't have subscribed to a bike service!!!!!!!!!!
