Why Did My Bimba Slow Down or Stop?

A Bimba normally travels at up to 25 km/h, but it will slow and then stop after leaving the permitted main-road corridor.

01

Check your position on the map

Side roads toward the beach or mountains are outside the active riding corridor. Carefully return the vehicle to the main road; normal assistance should resume after it re-enters the permitted area.

02

Other possible causes

Low battery, a mechanical issue or difficult conditions may also change performance. Stop somewhere safe and read any message in the app.

03

Do not try to override the system

If the vehicle remains slow or feels unsafe on the permitted road, stop riding and send support the QR number and location.
