The reaction test is a quick safety check that some users must complete before renting a scooter. It measures how quickly you respond to a visual prompt in the app.
The feature was introduced to help improve road safety and comply with local regulations.
Why do I need to take a reaction test?
In Latvia, road traffic regulations require additional safety measures to help detect and prevent riding under the influence.
The reaction test helps ensure that riders are alert and able to safely operate a scooter.
How does the reaction test work?
When you try to reserve a scooter, the app may ask you to complete a quick reaction test.
- A screen will appear with instructions.
- An image of a rider wearing a helmet will appear.
- Tap the image as quickly as possible when it shows up.
- The app measures your reaction time.
If your reaction time is within the allowed range, you can continue booking your ride normally.
What happens if I fail the reaction test?
If your reaction time is too slow:
- You can retry the test up to 5 times.
- If you pass during these attempts, you can proceed with your scooter booking.
What happens if I fail all attempts?
If you do not pass the test after 5 attempts:
- You will not be able to rent a scooter for 3 hours.
- The app will suggest using ride-hailing instead.
- After 3 hours, you can try the reaction test again.
Will the reaction test affect my ride if I pass?
No. If you pass the reaction test, your scooter will be reserved normally and the rest of the booking process will continue as usual.
