Unsafe, Overpriced and Completely Disappointing Rental Experience
Pedego Electric Bikes La Quinta的点评
点评:I’ve been a loyal Pedego owner for years and have always loved my personal bike, which is exactly why I chose to rent four bikes from them for Coachella weekend 2. I paid $720 for the weekend—a discounted rate from the original $960 (or $240 per bike). For that price, I expected a minimum level of safety and professionalism. What I got was a total disregard for both.
Out of the four bikes delivered, only one had a light. The other three had no lights installed at all. And Pedego knew exactly what these bikes were being used for. The store is located near the festival and even mentioned they were sold out because of Coachella. So how do you knowingly send bikes out for nighttime use with no way to see in the dark?
It’s not just careless—it’s dangerous. This is basic safety. Because of that negligence, I ended up not using the bikes at all. It simply wasn’t safe to ride them at night, especially around festival traffic. So in the end, Pedego got paid—and I got four unusable bikes.
This wasn’t a minor oversight. It was negligence. And for a brand I’ve supported and recommended for years, it’s a huge disappointment.
Pedego should be ashamed of how thoughtless this was. If you’re charging nearly $1,000 for a weekend rental, the bare minimum is making sure the bikes are safe to ride. I won’t be renting from them again—and I strongly suggest others think twice before doing so either.
翻译:多年来,我一直是 Pedego 的忠实用户,也一直非常喜爱我的私人自行车,正因如此,我选择在科切拉音乐节第二个周末从他们那里租了四辆自行车。我花了 720 美元租了个周末,比原价 960 美元(每辆 240 美元)的优惠价便宜了不少。以这样的价格,我期望他们能提供最低限度的安全和专业服务。结果,他们却完全无视了这两点。
送来的四辆自行车中,只有一辆带车灯,另外三辆根本没有车灯。而且 Pedego 对这些自行车的用途了如指掌。这家店就在音乐节附近,甚至还提到因为科切拉音乐节,这些自行车都卖光了。所以,他们怎么能明知故犯地把自行车送到夜间使用,却又无法在黑暗中看清路况呢?
这不仅仅是粗心大意,更是危险。这是基本的安全准则。就因为这个疏忽,我最终根本没用过这些自行车。晚上骑车根本不安全,尤其是在音乐节期间,人流量大的时候。所以最终,Pedego 得到了赔偿——而我却得到了四辆无法使用的自行车。
这可不是小疏忽,而是疏忽。对于一个我多年来一直支持和推荐的品牌来说,这真是令人失望。
Pedego 应该为自己的轻率行为感到羞愧。如果周末租车要收近 1000 美元,那么最起码的保障就是确保自行车安全骑行。我不会再从他们那里租车了——我强烈建议其他人在租车之前也要三思。
