Charleston’s Holy Spokes bike-share system has gone offline for two to three days as its new owner takes control, The Post and Courier reported.

Bolt Mobility, a Miami company co-founded in 2018 by Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, acquired the assets of Charleston-based Gotcha Mobility on Dec. 30 from the ailing company that had owned it, the Post and Courier reported. Gotcha launched Holy Spokes in 2017 with the City of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina. The system has about 250 powder-blue bikes.

Shari Lerner, Bolt’s vice president of business operations, said the outage should last 48 to 72 hours.

“We are completely committed to continuing to serve the Charleston community and all of its riders,” she said. “What we’re experiencing right now is a transition from Gotcha to Bolt.”

“The only change Charleston and its residents will see is an improvement,” she added.

City spokesman Jack O’Toole said officials contacted the new owner and “were told that the company is working to resolve an outage which has affected service across their network.”

Lerner said Bolt will keep a presence in Charleston and the brand will become “Gotcha powered by Bolt.” Bolt has mostly offered electric scooters, and Gotcha’s business, which includes motorized vehicles such as tricycles and scooters at universities and in cities around the country, adds to its lineup.

The sale caps a hard year for Gotcha. Vancouver-based Last Mile Holdings, formerly OjO Electric, completed its purchase of the company in March 2020 in a deal valued at $12 million, and has since reported financial troubles to Canadian stock market regulators. In November, Gotcha founder and former CEO Sean Flood and former chief operating officer David Touwsma sued Gotcha and Last Mile in Charleston County court, seeking severance pay, the Post and Courier reported. Their complaint alleges that Last Mile misrepresented its financial health and mismanaged money it had promised to invest in Gotcha’s fleet. The companies declined to comment on the suit in November and have not filed a formal response, according to the newspaper.

Gotcha’s offices on Radcliffe Street were dark, with two FedEx delivery notices taped to the front door, the newspaper reported.
