    What happens if the Scooter is damaged, lost or stolen?

    If that happens, let us know as soon as possible so we can do what we can to help.

    Your own contents insurance will often cover theft of the scooter. Check about terms and conditions with your insurer.

    If you accepted our insurance ($5p/week), you’re covered.  The excess you need to pay is $500.  There are some conditions, in particular, the scooter is locked with the lock that we give you and is kept inside locked overnight.

    Do the scooter need to be charged?

    Yes, it’s super easy. Just plug it in like your phone. The bikes come with a charger.

    If you don’t have a powerpoint where you bike is being parked you can remove the battery and bring it inside to charge. Handy huh?

    How do the payments work?

    You pay the first 4 weeks straight up, then we use a direct debit method through provider GoCardless. It’s trusted, secure, safe and very easy to set up. Your lease will be deducted from your account automatically. You can choose the frequency of your payments, and there are notification emails two days prior to any payment.

    What if I don't want it any more and I decide to cancel?

    Our program requires a minimum commitment of 12 weeks at $30 per week. If you want to return it earlier, you’ll have to pay up to the minimum cost of 12 weeks. In special circumstances we can end a lease early. Get in touch with us to discuss this.

    Do I need insurance?

    Often your own contents insurance will cover the scooter. If this isn’t the case for you, we do have insurance available for $5 p/week that covers theft- the bike must be locked with the lock we give you and kept inside over night. The excess you need to pay if using our insurance is $500.

    Is this just for commuting in Wellington?

    Yes, the scooters must stay within the Wellington region and it’s designed for Wellington commuters.

    Can I use the scooter for Food Delivery or other commercial use?

    No, sorry. Unfortunately, it’s too risky for our bikes and scooters We gave it a good go, but unfortunately our customers had their rides stolen from them while doing deliveries. It’s worth getting in touch to see if we have any ex-rental bikes you can purchase.
