About Us

Our Background

The micromobility industry in the UK is still in its infancy but along with electric cars there is a significant growth pattern. As consumers move away from fossil fuel powered transportation and climate issues become more important, micromobility devices (Rideables) provide substantial opportunity for a new era in transportation.

At Rideables.org (Reg. PLEVUK LIMITED), we are committed to electric transportation in all its forms and we enjoy using Rideables for our personal use.
