“Beryl Bikes Are a Total Rip-Off – Avoid at All Costs”

had an awful experience with Beryl bikes in Brighton today. The electric assist on the “electric” bike didn’t work at all, and the seat was extremely difficult to adjust. The most frustrating part was that I couldn’t even end my ride properly — despite following all the instructions. It took around four minutes before it finally registered as ended, and I was billed about £3 for a journey of only 200 metres.

To make things worse, my daughter was also charged about £2 for her short ride. I contacted customer service and spoke with LC, who was completely unhelpful and even sarcastic — offering a refund of just 48 pence as if that was acceptable.

I literally didn’t use the bike for more than a few minutes, yet we were both charged unfairly. This was a poor experience from start to finish. Beryl bikes are unreliable, poorly maintained, and the customer service is dismissive.

Avoid using Beryl bikes — they cause nothing but frustration and unnecessary charges.

Bezza, always(ish) waiting on the corner for me.

Any time that I have had an issue, which is very rare, I have had a timely and appropriate response, whether it be a mechanical issue or billing query.
I am confident in saying that any negative feedback is unjustified. If there is an issue and it is explained properly the outcome is always positive. Sometimes there's a glitch in the app... which causes minor inconvenience; sometimes it's a billing query...always reimbursed; sometimes it's a mechanical/safety issue...always the bike is demoralised.
The only problem Bezza has is the idiots who don't understand what it takes to keep a fleet of safe, rideable (think I may have made that one up) bikes on the road and in the right place at the right time.

Hired one in Newquay today

Hired one in Newquay today - apart from being £7.50 for 50 minutes compared to £6.99 for 60 minutes with lime - the bike was terrible on any incline - I ride a bike daily so no issues with stamina ! But you literally had to stand up and go 1 mile an hour up any incline ! I will never hire one of these again a rip off for a terrible bike - it had plenty of power and looked fairly new but why put these in Newquay where all surrounding areas are hills! -

Customer service is terrible

I rented an e bike and soon understood that it wasn't working, I had to pedal so hard to get anywhere and most of the journey I had to get off and drag the bike with me as it was just too heavy to pedal. I got charged twice as much as I normally do as it took me so long to get to my destination. When I contacted customer services to get a refund I had the most abysmal experience with Scott who refused to give me a refund as I completed my journey and didnt leave the bike as soon as I realised it wasn't working properly. I asked to speak to someone else but Scott claimed to be the only person working for Beryl and he had absolutely no sympathy for my experience. I usually ride a beryl bike every day but now I will never use one again.

- thank you Beryl for replying on here, there was no need really as it is the exact same message as you sent to me over and over when I tried to get help. It's not my fault that I didn't cycle past a bay. If I had stopped to drag the bike back to the bay I got it from it would have taken me ages, and I had a job to get to this morning, therefore I kept trying to ride it. But thank you for sending your policy, AGAIN. I will read it for the fifth time now.

Good Afternoon Isabel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely appreciate all feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps us to continually improve our service.

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you experienced during your recent ride and that you were dissatisfied with our interaction.

As outlined in our Terms of Service, if you encounter any issues that prevent you from continuing to use or securely locking the vehicle, you must end your journey at the nearest bay immediately. Since you continued to ride the vehicle, you are not eligible for a refund.

You can review this policy in Section 13.5 of our Terms of Service: https://beryl.cc/terms

I would also like to clarify that when you requested to speak with a senior member of staff, as the highest point of contact for escalations and complaints, it is my responsibility to handle these matters directly.

We appreciate your previous use of our service, and I’m sorry this experience has left you disappointed. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams.

Kind regards,

Scott Campbell
Customer Service & Operations Manager

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’ve experienced with your minute bundle.

We make it clear at the time of purchase that all minute bundles come with an expiry date, which is shown both during checkout and in your app once the bundle is active. After the expiry date, any remaining minutes automatically expire and can no longer be used.

If you believe your bundle expired earlier than stated, please contact our customer support team through the app or via our support mailbox - support@beryl.cc so we can review the details for you.

Kind regards,

Scott Campbell

Good Afternoon Tom,

We can see you’ve been riding with us since 2023, and we really appreciate your loyalty and continued support. From the very start, we’ve always been clear that journeys ending outside of a bay will result in an out-of-bay fee. This policy helps us keep the service fair and reliable for everyone, as it ensures bikes remain available in designated locations and prevents them from causing obstruction to pedestrians, vehicles, or other road users.

We understand that sometimes things do not go to plan. If there was a specific reason you could not end your journey in a bay on this occasion, we would like to hear from you. Please contact us at support@beryl.cc so our team can look into it further and provide assistance.

Kind regards

Scott Campbell
