Using Ridy - The Basics

Every rider will be required to pay a one-time non-refundable security deposit of $10 to have membership access to the fleet. Membership Fee is used to set up your account and is not used towards the rides.

Depending on your property, vehicles are either free to ride for tenants/residents or tenants/residents have to pay for their rides.

Once you are at the RIDY station at your property, start a ride by scanning the QR code on the vehicle. If you encounter difficulties scanning the QR code, turn on your flashlight while scanning.

If the app prompts an error message, that vehicle is likely in-use, unavailable due to low-battery or maintenance, please try the next vehicle.

If vehicles at your property are locked to the charging station, please refer to “Using the Cable Lock” section below for details on how to unlock and lock our vehicles.

Once you’ve gained some speed, press on the throttle near your right thumb to accelerate. Familiarize yourself with the throttle and squeeze the hand brake to slow down when needed.

If you are making a stop at a destination, tap the “Pause” button in the app to turn off and secure the scooter/bike, which activates the anti-theft alarm.

Once the rider is done with their trip, the rider must return the vehicle back to the charging station at the property the rider rented from. To end the trip, the rider must take a photo showing the vehicle is property parked and is plugged into the charging station. 

Upon the completion of the trip, riders must use the cable lock to secure the vehicle to the charging station. Please refer to “Using the Cable Lock” section above for details on how to unlock and lock our vehicles.
