Discover a Tour Like No Other 🛴
We had one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences our family has ever done—riding around Greenville on these vibrant animal‑character scooters called Rydables. Even as locals, cruising past familiar spots like the Swamp Rabbit Trail, Falls Park, Unity Park, Camperdown Plaza, and Main Street made the familiar feel brand new again.

What Makes Rydables So Fun?
Delightful designs & zippy performance. With characters like the Piñata, Unicorn, and Penguin (our favorite was the rainbow‑bright Piñata!), these scooters are a hit with kids and adults alike. They’re easy to handle—forward and reverse triggers plus automatic stops when you let go—and the padded seat is surprisingly comfy on a 1.5‑hour city ride.
Rydables are Family-friendly. Kids ages 12 + can ride solo, while those 11 and under can ride with a parent. Little ones who can sit up on their own get to join in—perfect for families.
Get some free practice before you roll. Your guide will take you for a quick spin in the nearby garage to make sure everyone feels confident before the tour begins.
Say Hello to Our Guide, Walter
Walter was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and filled with local lore, ghost stories, history, and tips on food and hidden spots. He adjusted the tour to our interests and flagged bumps or traffic ahead of time. You could tell he genuinely cared about safety—and our fun.
Why This Tour Stands Out
- You cover more ground than on foot and skip the sore feet.
- The playful, colorful scooters add a joyful twist to city sightseeing.
- The storytelling feel—history, art, food, even spooky tidbits—makes it educational and entertaining.
A visiting family member from a city packed with world-class attractions said it was one of the best tours they’d ever done. That says a lot!

Pro Tips from Our Rydables Ride
- Choose a weekday for fewer crowds and more freedom as you ride.
- Bring a hat or sunglasses—though the tree‑lined paths and breeze from riding make it surprisingly pleasant.
- Park at N. Laurens Street Garage (233 N. Main Street) for easy access to the Greenville Glides office.
- Secure your phone and keys in the scooter pocket—don’t let anything bounce out (walkie‑talkies are in there too).
