Once you are at a RYDE charging station, 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.
Use the bike lanes to ride Ryde bikes or scooters. Do not ride on sidewalks. Yield to pedestrians while crossing the streets.
We strongly recommend that you wear a helmet every time you ride our bikes and scooters. The helmet should be Snell, CPSC, ANSI, or ASTM-approved. It should be sized, fitted, and fastened per the manufacturer's instructions. We encourage riders to have two finger lengths between their chin and the strap to make sure the helmet is securely on your head. The helmet should be comfortable and snug on your head - it should not move around (for example, it should not fall to block your vision or fall behind your head, exposing your forehead). While helmet laws vary by region, country and city, please always wear a helmet.
Our application enables bookings greater than 24 hours in advance. Once in the app, a rider will be able to select a location to pick up a bike and confirm the duration of the ride. Once confirmed, the rider will scan the QR code on the reserve bike to unlock the bike and the user will be able to ride during their selected duration. To reserve a vehicle, select the vehicle icon at your desired location, and press reserve.
