Thrilled to officially kick off our partnership with SpaceCraft! Congratulations to the SpaceCraft team on the successful delivery of Charlotte's first apartment with shared micromobility amenity and no onsite parking!
CEO & Founder @ Ridy, Inc. | Electric Vehicles & Micromobility Charging Solutions for Next-Gen Real-Estate | ActiveScore AP
Congratulations to Space Craft CEO Harrison Tucker, and Mohit Shewaramani, Director of Operations and Strategy, for being featured in the 2024 Power 100 by Charlotte Business Journal!! SpaceCraft is building the future of living in Charlotte. Space Craft’s vision is to create places where we live that support and promote well-being and environmental resiliency. Focusing on walkable, nature oriented, energy-efficient, and sustainable living is SpaceCraft’s way of addressing the increased need for more housing without compromising environmental impact and social connections. SpaceCraft’s recent project Joinery showcases their commitment to innovative, sustainable mobility. Residents have access to a shared fleet of EVs (cars, e-bikes, e-scooters) within the community, making it Charlotte’s first property without onsite parking. This shared model offers residents more freedom, eliminating the need to own a vehicle. It helps reduce emissions and saves residents money as car ownership costs continue to rise. Shared amenities have become standard in multifamily developments, but SpaceCraft takes it further by introducing shared EV mobility. This enhances well-being, outdoor access, sustainability, and overall quality of life. We’re proud to be part of this movement with SpaceCraft! Congratulations to the SpaceCraft team on the successful delivery of this stunning property! #SustainableLiving #HealthyHomes #ElectricMobility #Micromobility

Gen Z increasingly prefers to live and work in more walkable and bike-friendly places.
CEO & Founder @ Ridy, Inc. | Electric Vehicles & Micromobility Charging Solutions for Next-Gen Real-Estate | ActiveScore AP
This article about the reduction in driving among the younger generation, and ones like it, have driven a lot of attention lately. There are multiple reasons for why, but I would summarize it as: 1) a change in lifestyle and values preferences, 2) financial burden of buying, maintaining, and insuring a car, and 3) availability and convenience of on-demand, shared mobility. 1. Gen Z increasingly prefers to live in more walkable and bike-friendly places that are less car dependent. They want a more vibrant, connected lifestyle, with easy access to amenities, with a stronger preference towards more sustainable transportation. 2. The all-in cost of vehicle ownership is significant and rising. Gen Z views these expenses as not justifiable when more affordable and flexible alternatives exist. 3. Using a bike, e-bike, e-scooter, or other shared mobility to get around is not only more convenient in some places, it also offers more flexibility, autonomy, and freedom. The youngest generation is accustomed to having various options at their fingertips, and transportation is no exception. From my experience providing micromobility solutions for real estate developers and designers at multifamily developments, they also recognize this shift, and are actively building less parking, to accommodate the reduction in car parking demand.

Happy Bike Month! 🚵🏽♂️
CEO & Founder @ Ridy, Inc. | Electric Vehicles & Micromobility Charging Solutions for Next-Gen Real-Estate | ActiveScore AP
May is National Bike Month and at Ridy, Inc. we're celebrating every opportunity, especially on Bike to Work Day! Today marks the culmination of Bike to Work Week, and it's the perfect time to embrace a sustainable commute. Many of our customers, such as Hines, Lincoln Property Company, SummerHill Apartment Communities, Greystar, Related Companies, Monument Realty and others, provide e-bikes and e-scooters as a free amenity to their tenants. Ridy's e-bikes can be taken directly to and from office and returned at the end of the work day, and are always available when and where you need them. We help to encourage more sustainable commutes, reducing congestion, emissions, and providing some joy along the way. If you haven't had a chance to bike to work yet this week, today is the day to make it happen. Get outside, hop on a bike, and enjoy the fresh air as you commute to work on this special Bike to Work Day! #micromobility #biketowork #sustainability #wellbeing

Secured bike storage and bike repair/maintenance are the top two convenience services at multifamily buildings, according to Building Design+Construction Media’s 2023 multifamily amenities study (link in comments). Every other year since 2017, they’ve surveyed multifamily developers, architects, and designers, asking which amenities they used in the last 12-18 months. Every survey resulted in secured bike storage as the #1 convenience service - now with 76% of buildings across the US responding that they have a room/space dedicated to bikes. Also, 67% of buildings now have EV charging and 12% of buildings have a bike sharing program for their tenants, indicating a shift in how people get around. At Ridy, Inc., we provide secured e-bike/e-scooter charging infrastructure and fully managed e-bike and e-scooter amenity service for all types of buildings. For multifamily developments, we offer not only a convenience amenity, but also what BD&C calls “quality of life amenities” and “recreation amenities.” We’d love to see micromobility charging solutions and e-bike and e-scooters surveyed and mentioned in 2025. We look forward to contributing to the continual growth of these numbers! #multifamily #micromobility #innovation #sustainability

I'm excited to share how our partnership with Beacon Capital Partners at Wellesley Gateway is enhancing the tenant experience and setting new standards for the modern workplace. As Beacon Capital made improvements to the Wellesley Gateway office and life science campus, they recognized that delivering a diverse range of tenant experiences is crucial for a thriving workplace community. As today's workforce demands more than just a place to work—they seek a vibrant, connected environment that promotes well-being and sustainability. That's why we've introduced our employee-exclusive e-bike amenity program at Wellesley Gateway, featuring dedicated onsite e-bikes and scooters. Our premium property-branded e-bikes, e-scooters, and micromobility charging stations provide tenants with a green, efficient way to explore the stunning surroundings of Wellesley and Newton Upper Falls and offer numerous benefits: - Convenience: Employees can easily access e-bikes whenever they need, without the hassle of ownership or maintenance. - Connectivity: By connecting office campus buildings with popular downtown destinations, we're fostering a sense of community and encouraging shared experiences among colleagues. - Sustainability: Onsite e-bikes and e-scooters promote a greener lifestyle and reduce the carbon footprint of the campus. - Health and well-being: Encouraging active transportation helps employees incorporate physical activity into their daily routines, promoting better health and well-being. Ridy's dedicated e-bike and scooter program perfectly complements the impressive array of amenities at Wellesley Gateway, from redesigned lounges, outdoor spaces, and advanced fitness centers to vibrant food halls. This holistic approach promotes a healthy, fulfilling, and eco-friendly lifestyle for tenants. We're proud of the impact our partnership with Beacon Capital Partners is making and look forward to collaborating with more real-estate partners to create sustainable and connected workplace communities that enhance the lives of employees and their tenants. #Sustainability #Wellbeing #Innovation #Micromobility #RealEstate

Welcome to the team, David Reed!! 🚀
I’m very excited to share that I’ve joined Ridy, Inc. as their Growth Advisor & Consultant I will continue to grow SustainMobility and my work with real estate developers to prioritize sustainable and active transportation at their properties. One of the key ways that they can do that is to introduce private micromobility fleets, and I believe that Ridy has the vision, leadership, and focus to be the leader in the private micromobility space. Ridy’s mission of promoting carbon-free transportation, enhancing well-being, and spreading happiness through real estate fits perfectly with my vision for a better and more sustainable built environment. Can’t wait to get to work with Guru Dharmateja Medasani, Michael Rubino, and the rest of the growing team! 2024 is going to be an awesome year for Ridy! Oh, and this announcement comes as I complete one more revolution around the sun and celebrate my birthday today! #ebikes #escooters #micromobility #realestate #sustainability #growth

As a lifelong Chicagoan, I know firsthand the frustration of parking and traffic in city centers. Did you know that the average urban dweller spends over 60 hours per year looking for parking? Ridy, Inc. partnership with the U.S Department of Energy, Civic Infrastructure Collaborative, and Millennium Parking Garages to integrate e-scooters with parking has been nothing short of successful. “When you integrate e-scooters with parking, customers are going more places and going farther than they would have otherwise. This approach reduces carbon emissions and sends people all over the city." Ridy's turnkey micromobility solution integrates into all parts of real estate from parking garages, hotels, office buildings, to multifamily apartments. By integrating micromobility into real estate, we can reduce congestion and carbon emissions, give people access to experience their community in a unique way, while also showcasing how to use infrastructure, technology, and partnerships to make cities more connected and their inhabitants happier. 🛴 ⚡ 🚲 #micromobility #sustainability
