Riide

Riide is a Washington, DC-based electric bike company that designs and sells single-speed electric bikes as a subscription service for urban commuters. Founded in 2012 by Amber Wason and Jeff Stefanis, Riide launched its first generation e-bike on Kickstarter in 2014 and released the Riide 2 in 2020, featuring a 500W motor capable of 28mph. The subscription model includes unlimited maintenance, theft insurance, and a lock, enabling city commuters to replace car ownership without dealing with traffic, parking, or congestion. Riide targets the young urban professional seeking a lightweight, nearly silent, and well-balanced electric commuter bike.
