Problem
New electric scooters and e‑bikes are often priced at premium levels, and many consumers face limited availability of affordable, reliable models, especially in the EU market. This creates a barrier for urban commuters and environmentally‑focused riders who want a cost‑effective electric mobility solution.
Solution
Rhyde addresses this gap by offering a curated catalog of refurbished electric scooters and e‑bikes from leading brands such as Ninebot, Xiaomi, and SmartGyro. Each unit undergoes a thorough inspection and refurbishment process to ensure functional reliability and safety. The company sells these pre‑owned devices at a reduced price point while providing EU‑wide fast shipping, making electric mobility accessible across the continent. Rhyde also supplies compatible accessories (helmets, locks, etc.) and a trade‑in service for customers looking to sell their used scooters, creating a circular‑economy loop.
