Performance

The Ride by iPakket scooter has larger wheels, hydraulic suspension and a wider base for added stability. An upgraded kickstand improves parked stability, and the motor delivers 30% more torque than the previous model, which makes it suited to the hilly parts of New York City.

Built to last

The scooter is built for durability, with coated brake cables and reinforced battery connectors that reduce wear over time. It includes components that are typically unrepairable on other shared scooter models, which extends the overall lifespan of the vehicle and reduces the number of units replaced each year.

More sustainable

Every Ride by iPakket scooter is electric and shared, so one vehicle serves many trips that would otherwise be made by private car. Repairable components and a longer service life mean fewer units are replaced each year, which lowers the material footprint of the fleet as well as the emissions of each ride.

Local rules assistance

The Ride by iPakket scooter gives a voice alert when a rider enters a restricted area of New York City, such as a slow zone, a no-parking zone or a no-ride zone. A visual notification on the scooter display accompanies the audio cue, so riders can see and hear the same rule change and stay compliant.

Safety

Turn signals include audio feedback, which prevents accidental activation and makes directional changes clearer to pedestrians and other road users. A phone holder with wireless charging sits in the rider's line of sight, so navigation and zone warnings stay visible. Every scooter is inspected and maintained on a regular schedule.
