  • I’ve run out of battery, what do I do?
    Leave the e-scooter where you are, and we will find it using GPS tracking. Ensure the e-scooter is out-of-the-way of the public and in a safe location where it will not be damaged. PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THE SIDEWALK WHEN PARKING.

    No. Only one rider is allowed per e-scooter and all users must be at least 16 years old.
  • Why haven't I seen the pre-authorization charge refunded?
    At the start of your ride you may see a $10 transaction on your card. This amount will be temporarily held (pending) until your ride is completed and the final charges are applied. The held amount will then be released. This $10 transaction is never actually charged.

    Call or text the phone number on the front of your e-scooter and provide the following: confirm the phone number used to unlock the scooter date/time and approximate duration of the ride a brief explanation of why you think there is a discrepancy

    Issues ending your ride are typically related to poor network or data connections. Try closing and re-opening the app. Ensure you are LOCKING the scooter and not PAUSING it. Turn off Wi-Fi and use data only or connect to a strong Wi-Fi network. Occasionally, a scooter may itself disconnect from the network. Give it a minute to reconnect and try again.
