The Challenge
As demand for eco-friendly commuting grows, micromobility platforms such as e-bikes and e-scooters are becoming increasingly popular—and with them, the need for reliable, high-performance positioning to enable detection of the nearest available device, detect theft, ensure proper handling and return of the device, and more! RIDE is designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles, offering precise and uninterrupted navigation even when GNSS signals are obstructed by trees or urban canyons. Designed for the dynamic nature of scooters and e-bicycles, it enables accurate route tracking for user billing, misuse detection, and geofencing compliance—all in a compact, cost-effective solution that brings high-end navigation performance to the micromobility market.
The Challenge
As the search for environmentally conscious ways of commuting grows, there is increasing use and demand for micro-mobility devices such as scooters and bicycles equipped with positioning you can trust. Personally-owned, two-wheeled vehicles like e-bikes, motorcycles, and dirt bikes would greatly benefit from positioning that is uninterrupted when GNSS signal fails under the canopy of tall trees or buildings. The same can be said for scooters, which would benefit from precise tracking of the route travelled in order to bill the user correctly, to penalize careless return of the device or for using it in prohibited areas. However, at present, high-end inertial navigation systems are too bulky and costly to be feasibly applied to two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles and scooters.
The Solution
RIDE is Trusted Positioning’s software solution for two-wheeled vehicles, delivering precise, real-time positioning where traditional GNSS falls short. By fusing inertial sensors with GNSS, RIDE ensures continuous, reliable navigation—even in dense urban environments or under canopy. Designed for ultra-responsive performance and compact form factors, RIDE gives OEMs the confidence to enhance safety, navigation, and rider experience across two-wheeled vehicles, such as e-bikes and scooters.

Platform Integration
RIDE runs as embedded software on the device, ensuring low latency and high reliability. It does not depend on cloud connectivity or dedicated hardware, giving OEMs maximum flexibility. If you would like more clarification about integrating this software into your platform, contact us.
Being an embedded software solution means there is no need to install specific hardware or a cloud service.
We are able to deliver position updates in real-time because our software does not need an app or Cloud service to operate. This ensures rapid and reliable results with minimal latency.
Our software is hardware-independent and software-agnostic, giving you the freedom and flexibility to choose the sensors or work with the existing ones.
