Why Rider-Level Protection Scales Better Than Vehicle Cleaning

A smarter hygiene solution for micromobility operations.

The Operational Reality

Shared fleets operate under enormous logistical complexity:

• Batteries must be swapped on schedule

• Bikes must be redistributed geographically

• Repairs must be rapid

• Fleets must maintain availability quotas

Operators already run huge teams, often 24/7.But hygiene? Hygiene doesn't scale the same way.

Even if operators wanted to disinfect handlebars between every ride, doing so would require:

• Thousands of cleaning staff

• Mobile cleaning fleets

• New vehicle downtime

• High environmental cost

• Inconsistent real-world coverage

The cost would be astronomical.The carbon footprint even worse.The results inconsistent.

A More Scalable Solution: Protect the Hands, Not the Bike

RideSkin™ was developed precisely because shared-surface cleaning does not scale.

Instead of sanitising every bike, protect every rider.

A single drop creates a micro-thin, invisible barrier over the hands that:

• Dries instantly

• Lasts 1+ hour

• Leaves no residue

• Protects across multiple touchpoints

Commuters move through trains, scooters, lifts, railings — not just handlebars.RideSkin™ follows their journey, not the bike’s.

This Approach Benefits Operators Directly

• No modification to hardware

• No downtime for cleaning

• No training or new staff

• Fits any fleet size

• Eco-friendly

• Cost-efficient

• City-friendly

RideSkin™ complements, not replaces, operator cleaning cycles — offering a scalable hygiene layer without operational strain.
