Rhyde
Rhyde is a Madrid-based circular micro-mobility company that professionally refurbishes used and decommissioned e-scooters and e-bikes and resells them with warranty at prices up to ~50% below new, serving both consumers (B2C) and shared-mobility operators and fleets (B2B). Founded in 2021 by two IE University friends, it positions itself as Spain's leading refurbished micro-mobility player and has been recognised among Europe's top clean-mobility startups. In November 2024 it raised €460k led by Akka (formerly Blast) with EIT Urban Mobility participating, to expand across Spain and France.
