It's great because there's no startup fee for me, although my sister tried to use the app too and it would charge her $1 for a startup fee. But for me it's just $0.25 per minute. Its a little harder to balance on and sometimes the bells are broken so you feel like there's no way to warn traffic that you're zipping down the street. Also it would randomly lock and say I'm in a no-ride zone when I was on a public street. Other than that, it beats the price of the others

The bolt app is so annoying, it was fine but then the scooter slowed down and locked itself. I didn't know what was going on so I ended the ride and restarted it and it charged me an additional $1. Once resumed, it kept doing the same thing and slowed down and locked it. I hit pause but it kept getting stuck with a "loading" message. Ended up wasting 15 mins trying to figure it out, even restarting my phone. Finally was able to stop it and ended walking to my destination.

yayy. I think I was the only Bolt rider in DC today! don't let the DC metro app's map fool you--the city of DC is not a restricted zone. they'll fix it. the one different thing to get used to is that you hit "pay" at the end of the ride, unlike some other ones. the app was quick to set up and initiate.

The app is like if puke took a dump on garbage!!!! I am standing next to this Bolt bike, trying to unlock. I was there for 20 mins trying it to get to work. At one point, I was also taken to Google maps for some reason. The bike never unlocked, I never figured out what to do. Still working on it. Bolt, from one engineer to another, hire a new engineering team. I beg you!!!

The scooters are weird, instead of one foot behind the other they are side by side. This is unsafe because if you have to stop quickly you're going to get sent over the bar instead of being able to step both feet off one side. Also, this might be personal, but the App always seems down for maintenance so there are never any scooters displayed on the map. When there are, a lot of them are very low power too.

Fun as hell!! Convenient and easy to use. Just use the map on the app to locate an available scooter, scan QR Code on handle bar to access and you're on your way. I can't speak intelligently about the condition of other city's sidewalks but RVA's are "patchy" at best so it wouldn't hurt to upgrade these puppies with some type of suspension package. Until then I'd recommend mastering your wheelie technique. The map shouldn't show scooters as available when the battery power is too low to access.
