The Home of Safer Micromobility
Ride.YD.com is Young Drivers of Canada’s dedicated micromobility safety platform, created to help e-bike, e-scooter and other personal mobility riders stay safe in an increasingly complex road environment.
As more Canadians choose micromobility for commuting, recreation and everyday transportation, the need for practical, evidence-based rider education has never been greater. Ride.YD.com brings together the knowledge, technology and experience of an organization that has spent more than 50 years teaching people how to recognize, anticipate and avoid collisions.
To help every rider get home safely.
Our mission is simple.
Education Before the Ride
Most riders receive little or no formal training before entering traffic. We believe education should be as accessible as the vehicles themselves.
That’s why Ride.YD.com offers practical, mobile-first resources that help riders build the skills, judgment and confidence needed to make safer decisions on every trip.
Our resources include:
- The Academy’s Safe-R Rider™ Micro Courses – Short, engaging online lessons covering the rules of the road, urban survival, defensive riding, hazard recognition, protective equipment, and advanced riding techniques.
- The Micromobility Safety Revolution™ Book Series – A comprehensive three-volume collection exploring the human, technological and infrastructure solutions needed to dramatically reduce rider injuries and fatalities.
- RideRules™ – A progressive web app that helps riders quickly understand local municipal riding rules, restrictions and safety requirements before they ride.
Our Philosophy
At Ride.YD.com, we believe that preventing collisions requires more than simply teaching people how to operate an e-bike or e-scooter.
Safer riding comes from learning to:
- Recognize developing hazards.
- Predict the mistakes of others.
- Maintain safe space and visibility.
- Make better decisions before danger becomes unavoidable.
Our approach is built around the same defensive-driving principles that have helped generations of Canadians become safer road users.
Built on Experience
Ride.YD.com is an initiative of Young Drivers of Canada, one of Canada’s most respected driver education organizations.
For more than five decades, Young Drivers has helped over 1.4 million Canadians develop lifelong defensive driving skills through research-based education that focuses not simply on passing a test, but on avoiding collisions.
That same commitment to evidence-based safety now extends to the rapidly growing world of micromobility.
Our Vision
We believe the future of transportation should also be the future of transportation safety.
Creating safer communities requires progress on three fronts:
- Safer Riders through education and defensive riding skills.
- Safer Vehicles through better engineering and protective technologies.
- Safer Cities through smarter infrastructure, thoughtful regulation and Vision Zero principles.
By bringing these three elements together, Ride.YD.com aims to help build a future where micromobility is not only convenient and sustainable – but also significantly safer for everyone who shares the road.
Before they ride, make sure they’re ready.
