New to Beam? Follow these 5 steps and you'll be on your way in less than a minute!
How to get started...
1. Download the 'Beam' app from the Apple Store / Play Store and verify your mobile phone number.
2. Register your payment method. And ensure your Bluetooth is turned on.

Do not try and slow down by pushing down on the rear fender of the e-scooters with your foot - that will damage the scooter and could cause you to lose control.
5. Refer to the "Operating Zone" marked on the map in the app, to see where you can ride. Please do not ride a e-scooter outside of this marked area. Note that there are also zones marked in grey which are "No Go Zones", where the top speed of the e-scooter will automatically be reduced for safety reasons. Ending your trip in a "No Go Zone" will also result in a penalty/fine.
6. Park the e-scooter safely within the Beam Operating Zones. These are clearly marked on the map in the app, and position it in the spot where it will not interfere with traffic, pedestrian walkways and fire hydrants.

The Beam Saturn & Beam Rover are designed to be as safe as possible, but there are some important rules to follow to ensure you stay safe when riding:
1. Do not ride Beam after consuming alcohol.
2. Avoid riding on wet surfaces.
3. Refrain from sharing a single Beam with a secondary rider.
4. Observe and obey traffic laws.
After downloading the Beam app from the Apple Store / Play Store, you can proceed with the registration process in the following order: mobile phone authentication, personal information registration and privacy agreement.
The referral code is not a requirement to register a Beam account. However, if you have friends or family who already use Beam, they can offer you a referral code which will grant you Beam credits as soon as you sign up. Once you have taken your first ride, the person who gave you the referral code will also receive some credits to their own Beam account. Everyone wins!

Two riders on the same vehicle is definitely a bad idea. Beams are made for one, and anything more than one is dangerous.
One of the great benefits of riding a Beam is that you are automatically covered for personal accident insurance with every ride, but that insurance will be void if more than one person rides the same vehicle at the same time. So please don't.

Currently supported payment methods are debit/credit cards and Beam credit payment which you may purchase with your debit/credit card through the Beam app. Payment will be made in advance to the Beam credits you have and the difference will be charged to the registered payment method.
Other payment issues that arise can be caused by an outdated app version. To avoid these issues always make sure to update your Beam app as soon as a new update is available.
You (and your group ride buddies!) may notice a fee being charged to your card after linking it to the app even when no ride was taken. This is only a temporary hold used to verify your card, and it is commonly known as a pre-authorization fee. You may also notice another temporary hold which might appear as a duplicated charge of your trip. This is indicated with the word PENDING by some banks.
Rest assured, these charges get lifted/cancelled automatically once the card has been verified, or adjusted to the actual amount captured after completing a ride. Depending on your bank, the finalized payment may take up to 1 or 2 weeks to be reflected back on your statement.
The final charges should only be the ones matching with the records of the Trip History in your Beam app.
