June 2026

Your saved coupons now apply on the website

Booking on the web while signed in now shows a "Your coupons" panel at payment with the coupons available to you for that operator, and applies your best eligible one automatically — no need to type a code. Coupons that don't fit the booking yet are listed with the reason. Tap another to apply it, or remove one before you pay.

Saved coupons

Smoother payment when you start a rental

Starting a reserved bike now handles slow card charges gracefully — if a payment takes longer than usual you're prompted to try again instead of waiting on a spinner, and you're never charged twice. Most charges still clear in a few seconds.

Automatic ride charging

Confirm your spot on a shared booking

Riders added to someone else's booking can now confirm they're coming — straight from the invite email or their account — so pickup is faster with no extra verification step. Operators see at a glance which riders on a booking have confirmed.

May 2026

Operator rentals overhaul

Manual rental creation in the operator dashboard now bypasses holiday and outside-hours availability gates for staff bookings. The rentals timeline chart remembers your selected range and defaults to today through the next 60 days.

Manual & bulk rentals

Auth audit + 2FA polish

Across-the-board audit of the better-auth integration: tightened session refresh, fixed a 2FA edge case that could lock a returning rider out, and improved the post-signup verification flow.

Two-factor authentication

Voice assistant for rider support

Riders can now call a real-time voice agent that bridges Twilio to a Grok voice model. It looks up accounts, reports issues, finds the nearest fleet, and hands off to a human with full context.

Real-time voice assistant

Instant wallet refunds

Refunds now settle straight to the rider's wallet, skipping card-processing delays and fees. Admin-issued and automatic cancellation refunds both take the same fast path.

April 2026

Rider booking confirmation emails

Booking confirmation emails are now rendered server-side with the full ride details, fleet branding, and one-tap calendar add. Every white-label tenant picks up its own brand automatically.

Branded booking confirmations

Maintenance draft auto-save

Mobile maintenance logs now save a draft automatically as you type, so a backgrounded app or low-battery shutdown no longer loses your work.

Maintenance records & audit trail

Multi-fleet rides in one session

Riders can now hold active rides across multiple fleets at the same time, each with its own checkout session, cost tracking, and charges.

Multi-fleet rides in one session

Riders and operators can browse maintainers, request repairs, get quotes, message back and forth, and leave reviews — all in the app.

March 2026

Stale fleet guard

Operators with multi-fleet access now get a guard that catches stale fleet context after an org switch, preventing the dashboard from showing data from the wrong fleet.

Multi-fleet management

Geofenced parking & operating zones

Define pickup/drop-off parking areas, service-area operating zones, and slow-speed areas per fleet, with out-of-zone fees to keep bikes where they belong.

Geofenced parking areas

Apple Pay & Google Pay at checkout

Riders can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a saved card through Stripe, including off-session charges with 3-D Secure handling.

ID verification & trust score

Riders verify a government ID before their first ride and build a trust score over time based on rental behavior and compliance.

ID verification

Real-time operator dashboard

The operator dashboard goes fully real-time: rides, revenue, active vehicles, and the maintenance queue update live as a subscription, not a poll.
