Accidents and incidents

The app won?t let me end my ride?

Sometimes, the Kayak won?t connect when you?re trying to end a ride. In most cases, the reason for the problem lies in connection issues or bad reception/signal. To make it work, it?s usually enough to:
? Make sure that you?re standing right next to the Kayak;
? Reboot the app;
? Turn your Bluetooth off and on again;
? Make sure that your app is updated (yes, sometimes it?s the cause of problems with ending a ride!).
If none of these hacks work, contact our support. We?ll end the ride for you!
