Description
Bay Wheels consists of a fleet of specially-designed, sturdy, and durable electric bikes that can be accessed throughout the Bay Area, as well as classic bikes that are locked into a network of docking stations in Bay Area cities. Our bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system, making them ideal for one-way trips. Bikeshare is a greener, healthier way to get around — whether you’re commuting, running errands, meeting friends, or exploring in a new city.
The Bay wheels App gives you access to thousands of bikes in your area — unlock and pay directly from the app and get going. You can also get walking directions and see public transit schedules to help you easily get to bike stations.
The Bay Wheels App also shows upcoming public transit departures, including BART trains, Caltrain rail lines, the Tamien-San Jose shuttle, MUNI buses, MUNI Metro light rail, MUNI cable cars, MUNI trolleys, AC Transit Local & Transbay buses, VTA light rail, VTA Local buses, VTA Rapid buses, VTA Express buses, VTA ACE shuttles, Golden Gate Ferries, Sonoma County Buses, Sonoma County connectors & shuttles, SF Bay Ferries, the Angel Isl. Tiburon Ferry, the SMART train, Marin Transit buses, SamTrans Local & Express buses, Stanford Marguerite buses and the SFO Airtrain.

5 ★ I've never had a single bad experience with Bay Wheels. The bikes have always been in at least workable condition (sometimes the seats are a bit loose, the bell doesn't work, etc.). The app is simple but very intuitive and functional. The price for a monthly membership is incredibly reasonable. There really are bike stations everywhere, and I've never yet needed to go to another station to find a bike or find a dock to park my bike. The freedom Bay Wheels gives me is worth every penny!
1 ★ It was fine until the company removed all phone numbers from the app and forced us to use contact forms. They never respond with anything other than an auto reply. I was nearly hit by a car and when I called (this was before they removed the phone numbers) they left me on hold for nearly 30 minutes. They have also recently jacked prices without any specifics, leading to my auto renewal conveniently being processed just too soon for me to cancel without losing my money. Caveat emptor.
1 ★ The app itself is mediocre. QR scanner works about 1/3 of the time. When it does, the app shows an error message even though the bike gets released. Broken bikes are included in the # of available bikes at a station. The bikes are generally ok, definitely better than they used to be. Cancelled my subscription after a malfunctioning dock released a bike I had returned and Bay wheels was holding me responsible for the bike being out. Customer service was completely unhelpful.
4 ★ The pricing structure isn't good for occasional short rides. If you'll make frequent short rides, you can get a membership, but if you want to ride five minutes five times a month, you'll be overpaying on a dollar-per-mile basis no matter what you do. That said, I've found that using the bikeshare is a noticeable improvement in quality of life compared to walking everywhere, more so than I'd expected. It's just a pleasure to be able to move fast.
1 ★ Will never use again. Needed to get across town and one of these bikes seemed like a good option. There were a few stations near my destination and $3 seemed very reasonable. Well the app wouldnt work on my phone so i had to pay $10 at the booth. When i got to my destination all of the nearby stations were full and the closet station with an open spot was nearly back where i started. Save yourself time, money, and headache and take a bus.
2 ★ The bikes have gotten marginally better over time (except for the fact that they continue to screw up with the electric bikes) but the app has gotten so much worse. For example, you can no longer search for an address even though that's something you could do for the longest time... What kind of design decision was it to remove the most basic mapping feature?
1 ★ Absolute trash service. On the phone for an HOUR waiting for customer support. During this time they kept replaying the statement if you would like a call back please press 9, which did NOT do a thing. Finally after actually reaching a live human being, I was told that their call center could not make outgoing calls, so that message made no sense. How typical of the tech microgig economy that loses money to pad executive stocks to offer the lowest quality service.
1 ★ If you get a bad bike and try to swap it out for another one at the next station, they make you wait 2 minutes (without the courtesy of an explanation or a timer). the bikes are clunky, the app is janky, sometimes the code doesnt go through.
2 ★ Used to be a good app, but the latest update removed the switch to toggle between viewing bikes and viewing docks. Now, instead of seeing at a glance where I can park my bike I have to click on stations individually and try to remember how many docks they have. Frustrating.
1 ★ I was in complete thought that this was going to be convenient for my commute from work to Bart. To my surprise that these docks which they are stationed at, need to have an open slot for you. I get to Bart & see there is no docks open! Top it off if you don't dock your bike within 24hrs you will get charged $1,200, as stolen. So i had to then find the nearest dock available ,about 1/2 mile away. It made my 10 minute ride into a 30 min ride and 20 walk.Absurd!Absolutely no point.Worst experience
1 ★ I would avoid this service if your commute takes you downtown. I just had a situation where all docks were full near my office and i had to make a meeting so i left the bike next to the dock. i called to explain the situation when i had time later in the day and they told me that i could have called them and they would have "let me" hold on to the bike until a dock opened up and explained that i could have brought the bike into my office.
2 ★ The bikes are OK and get RH job done. The app, though is garbage I hope the developers go back to digging ditches Try to buy a pass and you have to play an f'ing game of Where's Waldo. Seriously, why not just a "buy a pass" button on the front We used the app as an example of poor development in a recent round table
4 ★ Works very well. Would be great to add the ability to plan a ride with multiple sites and have the app tell you the best route based on location of each stop and places to dock along the way. Would help for the app to give directions audibly.
4 ★ great use of app to locate bikes, stations, ride history and route suggestions. however, there were multiple times where I rented the electric bikes, and the bikes' electric motors were dead. would be nice to show battery charge level on the app also.
1 ★ Terrible app. Can't search for planning a ride or directions. Always texts me even after turning off text notifications. Always asks for a rating after every ride. Doesn't have fun aggregate stats on trips. Terrible. Lyft really messed this up by replacing it with their boring app style
