Ryvid: Electric Motorcycles Powering a Change in Urban Transportation

What if your motorcycle wasn’t just electric, but designed to evolve with you? That’s the question Ryvid, a California-based electric vehicle startup, is answering with their bold new approach to urban mobility. Their modular, lightweight motorcycles are built not only for performance and style, but for sustainability across the full product lifecycle. The electric battery at the heart of the vehicle is swappable and can be easily detached to use as an off-grid power source.  We traveled to Ryvid’s headquarters in Fountain Valley, California, to meet CEO and co-founder Dong Tran. Dong shares how Ryvid is reimagining the entire lifecycle of electric transport. We also learn how their bikes are connecting with a passionate community of tech-savvy commuters and lifestyle riders, including celebrity fans like Lana Del Rey and Chris Hemsworth, and PTC’s own VP of Sustainability Dave Duncan. Find out more about Ryvid here.Find out more about Creo here.Your host is Paul Haimes from industrial software company PTC. Episodes are released bi-weekly.
