ECOBICI Positive Reviews
Most of the time it works (not great!)It works like 95 percent of the time. When it doesn’t, it’s a huge pain. Hard to rely on this as an alternative transportation system to cars/transit when it can cost you time/money if you’re trying to get somewhere on time and docks won’t unlock bikes or tell you you’re over the limit of uses (??) when you have an annual membership..MiersmaVersion: 15.33.3
Fantastic service!After a few days in CDMX, we tired of the nonstop traffic congestion and downloaded this app. We rode Ecobici for 2 days totally liberated! The app was great, albeit a bit slow sometimes, but gave us all the information we needed including available bikes, available spots for return, location of the bike lots on a map, etc. The service was overall great - the bikes, aside from the brakes, worked well and the lot locations were conveniently and generously located. Overall, it was a great service! Integration with Google maps would be icing on the cake..Kinich Ahau 1Version: 15.82.3
Great app & access; coverage/availability increasingThis version of the bikes is different than the last, but it’s far easier to access. You can use the app or link your metro card. It’s been out like a month and they’ve added a ton of stations in that time.
The reviews that say there are no stations were written right when they launched the transition, I’d guess they’ve already doubled the stations since then..MrgnwVersion: 12.43.4
ECOBICI is awesome!Really enjoyed using this app while in CDMX! It was a great way to get around and see the city thanks to the addition of so many amazing bike lanes. The app could use some additional improvements with in-app navigation on bike lanes. It was most effective to use Google Maps or Apple Maps instead of the app to navigate thanks to their play by play directions. Would definitely recommend this app and trying the service..C andresVersion: 13.1.3
App doesn’t work all of a suddenI ride Ecobici every day. All of a sudden the app isn’t working at all. It takes me like 10 minutes to be able to retrieve a bike. I have my location services on, I paid my phone bill. It’s pretty frustrating at the service is otherwise very good. Please redo the app or undo the update you recently did ! It’s taking forever..27____Version: 15.82.3
Perfect for explorersAs a tourist, I can walk and walk all day, but having the bike lets me choose to shave a few kilometers or more off each exploration and lets me see more of this beautiful city.LauraOFVersion: 15.82.3
My favorite way to go around Mexico CityThe app is reliable, easy to use, hardly has any bugs. Ecobici is my go-to way to travel around the city..Victoria119900Version: 15.33.3
Awesome appThis app made it super easy… we still struggled a bit learning how to bike around this city but as we became familiar it was quite fun. I would bring a helmet with you.Makong_riverVersion: 15.82.3

ECOBICI Negative Reviews
Good but Limited FunctionalityYou only get access to a small selection of bikes with this app, the majority of the city is on an obsolete system that is incompatible.
I made the mistake of buying a full year pass, but even then I still use the app alright getting across Condesa or up and down some of Av. Insurgentes.
The app & new bikes work great; it’s just a failure to not consider backwards compatibility. Suggest viewing the map or buying the shortest term membership to see if the selection works for you..HarrisonfmVersion: 12.43.4
Do not down load this app!I was in Mexico City, rented a day pass and couldn’t get a bike because I could only purchase a red bike and every bike near by was green! I wasted around an hour and a half of my day trying to figure out why I couldn’t get a bike! Wish it would had told me it was only for red bike before I paid. I Try calling the number to get my money back and nothing! Worst bike rental experience!!!.Mikeoh92Version: 12.37.4
Worst customer supportThey should rename it to customer enemy. I purchased an annual membership and the bike failed to dock for some reason and they overcharged me 150$ extra after the first ride itself. It is such a shame that a company working in this industry has such a bad customer support experience.
They give a bad name to the whole transit industry.
I am sure no one in this company cares to listen to their customers.Becoming bad day by dayVersion: 12.47.4
Horrible appIt’ll take 5-10 minutes just to unlock a bike. The app just sits there and loads even though I have full cell phone service. After waiting so long and nothing unlocks, I’ll try closing the app and reopening it and it says I already have a bike unlocked and have to wait 2 minutes to unlock another. Extremely frustrating.Wwwwwwoooww!!!Version: 15.82.3
American - app & website not working!!App will send the 10 min expiration email to register account (to ride at all) up to an hour after submitting….went to website, on three bars of AT&T service for 10-15 minutes and 3-day pass page/button would not load. Terrible technology/systems for American email/phone #..Kevin's Top Notch ReviewsVersion: 2025.33.3
Way too much personal info neededI started to sign up, but then realized they wanted entirely too much personal information just to be able to rent a bike.
Don’t mind giving someone my credit card to rent a bike, but I don’t want to give them my birthday, phone number, email address, Identification information, and my home address… just to rent a bike..MjmoeykensVersion: 2025.15.3
Used to work…I visited CDMX a couple years ago and the app worked fine. Now I’m back and it won’t take any of my credit cards. Doesn’t have Apple Pay. Each rider needs their own app / device. It needs to verify your identity and asks for address.
I just want to ride a bike….FourthaxisVersion: 2026.7.3
Just Don’tWhen we put our bikes back in the correct docking station after our ride (and it locked), the timer wouldn’t stop and we continued to be charged for another 4 hours… there is no customer service to help either. I would not recommend using this unless you’re okay paying much more..Lexiii92Version: 12.45.4
Takes your moneyThe app/software doesn’t work. Three times I’ve locked my bike up and it doesn’t register as the ride is finished, even though it’s locked in. I can’t remove the bike, I can’t lock it up, and it just sits there running up my bill. Customer service doesn’t respond. This is a scam..Derwin TodayVersion: 2026.7.3
Not reliable, poor customer serviceI was in a pinch with traffic so downloaded this app to hop on a bike and move a little faster. However, the bikes didn’t work and everyone trying to unlock bikes at the station were not able to. Since I didn’t use any bikes I asked for my money back and was refused..EdwneuVersion: 15.33.3
Doesn’t workGo through the whole sign up, get to payment, finally get a generic “an error occurred” with no explanation. Tried multiple cards multiple times with no effect. Why can’t app developers consider anything besides the “happy path”? This try-catch-open dialog pattern is horrible..KrorngeVersion: 15.33.3
Not Accepting Foreign CardsI was looking forward to using ecobici. My friends and I visiting the city tried to download the app and it would not allow any of us to purchase a pass. I visited a support kiosk and they said the app wasn’t processing foreign cards and didn’t know when it would work again..YacahuteVersion: 15.33.3
No refund optionGreat service but why are you auto renewing an annual subscription and not giving me the option to refund it even though I haven’t used the service for the last 11 months.Wilso427Version: 2026.7.3
If only it workedConstantly I can’t unlock the bikes. Often times all over town the docks are empty. People vandalize the bikes so even when you get one, the brakes or the gear shift don’t work. This system has really gotten much much worse.Nick_FriedlVersion: 15.82.3
ONLY FOR MEXICANS, DO NOT USE AS TOURISTThis is a really poorly organized bike share. You HAVE to use the app but they canning accept foreign credit cards and will only give info in Spanish so I had no idea what was going on. Had to call where they told me I had to go to a random shopping mall (LOL) to pay and ride..CycleGirlie1Version: 15.33.3
Stopped accepting American cards?I used ecobici last year without any trouble when visiting cdmx, this year it days error check your card.. wasn’t able to enjoy Sunday bike ride and wasted a few hours trying to figure it out..ItsjeyjeylavVersion: 15.33.3
Account suspended and customer support is terribleI paid for a year. Suddenly they suspended my account without telling me a reason. Help center is an endless cycle of robot menus and there is no way to speak to a human. Terrible customer service, waste of money..MmmmmmmmmklklklVersion: 15.69.3

Faulty app - overcharged for hoursBike stands constantly have issues with checking out bikes. I also checked a bike in but apparently it wasn’t fully docked so I got charged for hours afterwards and customer service was not helpful..Toast1200Version: 2026.7.3
App suspensionI went to Mexico City with my parents and we decided to use the bikes. However our accounts immediately got suspended only because we exceeded the time limit. That is total nonsense..LoucharbVersion: 15.33.3

USA users beware!!! MALWARE CREDIT CARD FRAUD!!!DO NOT USE THIS APP OR ENTER YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!! Ecobici has purposely made it impossible to remove your credit card or cancel your account. They will charge you annually for eternity. The ecobici.mx domain blocks access outside of Mexico so once you go home they will have permanently trapped your info. Attn AppStore, app should be removed for violating terms and conditions.Maleek30Version: 2026.1.3
Beware of bank service charge!!!This bike rental service is very disappointing. If you are a tourist be aware that they charge you credit card a cash advance instead of a credit card charge therefor your CC may charge extra fees after. Never again. What a scam!.GobinicoVersion: 2025.33.3
