Beryl - bike & e-scooter hire

Used a bike in Brighton. Cycled a couple minutes, paused the bike at tesco to grab a couple bits on route home ( no more than 5 minutes!) then proceeded to drop the bike at a registered drop off point! Was charged an out of area charge of £13 on top of the trip cost! I emailed them straight after and haven’t heard anything says later! Might as well just get yourself an Uber

I was overcharged and nobody was available at 6 pm to help

When I try to buy minutes the app instantly crashes would not recommend this app

The bike didn’t unlock!

The scooter was vibrating badly as if the bearings or electric motor had a problem.

Great way to get around but £3.72 for a 17min ride is crazy expensive this is not a great alternative to getting bus or driving

I am a regular user of public bike schemes, and sad to say the scheme in my home City of Leeds is the worst I have come across. On literally 30% of occasions there is a problem unlocking the bike and more than once now the electric assistance has not worked or has only worked sporadically, which in quite a hilly City makes relying on the scheme as a form of transport useless.

Never unlocks. Always broken. Absolutely terrible

the rides hardly ever unlock and when they do, the so called authorisation charge is never refunded and it’s charged multiple times. even when the bike doesn’t unlock i’m still charged for authorisation!! daylight scam

Every single time I’ve tried to hire a Beryl bike there’s been a problem. Either they don’t unlock, the electric part of ‘electric bike’ is non-existent, they don’t lock when you finish the ride, or you try to pause the ride and it doesn’t pause, the ride ends- charging me an out-of-bay fee. Useless.
