1. Are there any waterproof or water-resistant electric scooters?

Yes, there is a small selection of water-resistant electric scooters that Ride and Glide sell. You can find the full list on our electric scooter comparison table. The only scooter which is an IP65 rating is the Nami Burn-E electric scooter.

2. How can I pick the best e-scooter or e-bike for my current needs? 

We have an E-Scooter comparison table that can help you find out which e-scooters excel at certain product features. There is also an E-Bike comparison table to help show different e-bikes and their key features.

3. Are products sold by Ride + Glide delivered fully assembled?

Some of our products will be sent out partially assembled. E-Scooters will be sent with the handlebars disassembled, making the packaging is more compact. This is the same with E-Bikes – they will mostly come with the handlebars and pedals removed but reassembly of both e-scooter and e-bikes is a simple process and we can walk you through this if required. Products like Onewheels and EUCs doesn’t normally require any additional assembly. 

4. Is Ride + Glide part of the cycle to work schemes?

Yes, we are partnered with a number of cycle-to-work schemes. To view the full list of schemes we’re partnered with – Cycle to Work Schemes
