Frequently Asked Questions
Rydable
- Are there age limitations?
They’re simple enough to operate that we have riders as young as 3 years old that can handle Rydables on their own. (It’s an “ability thing” as opposed to an “age thing”!) Age requirements are set by the venue and may vary.
- Are Rydables safe?
First and foremost, RYDABLES are SAFE!! In fact, they classify as an ADA-compliant mobility scooter. (Fun Fact: And as such, they pass all TSA inspections and are protected under Federal regulations. They even fly on airline flights for free!) Safety features:
- All carts feature electromagnetic braking that automatically engages when the throttle is released (squeeze to go, let go to stop…simple).
- All carts have an anti-roll, hill-lock feature to prevent unwanted rolling when stopped on an incline or decline.
- All carts are 2-wheel drive with suspension incorporated at all 4 wheels.
- Their top speed can be both manually and/or electronically governed, based on the rider and/or the venue.
- Rydables incorporates GPS tracking and includes geofencing capabilities allowing us to track and predetermine where they can and can’t travel.
- Are they just for kids?
No, Rydables are not just for kids. Rydables are a very unique product in that they truly have universal appeal. While they are great for kids, more than half of our customers are over 18! We do a lot of events that are for adults 21 and older, such as beer and wine festivals, Oktoberfests, Seniors Gone Wild nights at 55+ communities, etc…They’re a big hit for all ages and the kid in all of us.
- What's the weight limit?
They hold up to 325 and 350 lbs, depending on which of the 2 models are used.
- How fast do they go?
They can travel up to 4.25 mph or 7.5 mph (depending on which model) which is pretty fast when you’re riding a rhinoceros down the sidewalk! Their top speeds can be both manually and/or electronically governed, based on the needs of the rider and/or the venue.
- On which terrain/s can they operate?
Rydables are multi-terrain capable and are specifically designed for outdoor use. As long as the area they’re operating in isn’t too thick/deep, Rydables can be used on grass, gravel, dirt, hills, etc… (They’re not “all-terrain” but they are definitely “multi-terrain”!). Rydables can easily and safely operate indoors, as well.
- Will they leave black streaks everywhere?
No. All Rydables use non-marking, rubber, multi-terrain tires.
- How do you clean the skins when they get dirty?
Rydables skins are all removable, machine washable, and interchangeable.
- Can Rydables Create Custom-Designed Skins?
Yes, we create custom-designed skins upon request, right here in the USA. All design. manufacturing and assembly are done in Tempe and Phoenix, AZ.
