The launch was attended by Hemant Kabra, Founder and Managing Director of BGauss, as the Chief Guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chennai hub marks another step in RIDEV\u2019s expansion of its hub-led operating model, which combines electric two-wheeler rentals with the operational support needed by high-usage delivery and gig workers. RIDEV\u2019s operations are supported by in-house technology solutions that help manage its fleet, hubs and rider operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in April 2024 with just 10 electric two-wheelers, RIDEV has scaled to more than 12,000 electric two-wheelers on the road. Its rental model includes battery swapping, servicing and maintenance, roadside assistance, insurance and standby EV support, all provided at no additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model is designed to give delivery and gig workers access to an electric two-wheeler without the upfront burden of ownership, while reducing some of the operational challenges that can affect their ability to stay on the road, including battery access, maintenance, repairs and vehicle downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For delivery and gig workers, the vehicle they use is directly connected to their ability to earn. RIDEV\u2019s approach is built around keeping that vehicle operational while taking on many of the day-to-day responsibilities associated with running an electric two-wheeler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201c\u201cAt RIDEV, our philosophy is simple: we don\u2019t just provide a vehicle; we provide access to an earning asset. For a delivery partner, a vehicle is more than transportation, it is the foundation of their livelihood and their family\u2019s future. That\u2019s why our responsibility goes beyond putting an EV on the road. We work to ensure riders can keep earning without being held back by ownership, maintenance, repairs, or downtime. In many ways, RIDEV becomes part of the backbone of a family\u2019s livelihood. Every new RIDEV hub strengthens this ecosystem, enabling<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>more riders across India to earn with confidence, dignity, and reliability. -Manish Kumar Jain, Founder &amp; CEO, RIDEV<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s growth from 10 EVs to more than 12,000 reflects its focus on building a scalable operating model around vehicle access, rider support and technology. As part of the Chennai hub launch, RIDEV will also showcase its 12,000th electric two-wheeler, marking a symbolic milestone in the company\u2019s growth journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RIDEV will continue to expand its fleet and hub network across key markets while strengthening its technology and operational infrastructure to support the growing needs of India\u2019s delivery and gig workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>About RIDEV<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in April 2024, RIDEV is an electric mobility platform focused on enabling India\u2019s delivery and gig workforce through accessible and reliable electric two-wheelers. Starting with just 10 electric two-wheelers, the company has scaled to more than 12,000 electric two-wheelers on the road across a network of 16 hubs. RIDEV\u2019s model combines weekly electric two-wheeler rentals with battery swapping, servicing and maintenance, roadside assistance, insurance and standby EV support, all provided at no additional cost. Its operations are supported by in-house technology solutions designed to manage fleet and rider operations efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIDEV Launches 16th Hub in Chennai as Electric Two-Wheeler Fleet Crosses 12,000 Founded with just 10 electric two-wheelers in April 2024, RIDEV has scaled to more than 12,000 electric two-wheelers on the road, supported by a growing hub network and in-house technology solutions Chennai, October 9, 2026: RIDEV, an electric mobility platform focused on enabling [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commercial","post_format-post-format-image"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/RIDEV-Launches-16th-Hub-in-Chennai-as-Electric-Two-Wheeler-Fleet-Crosses-12000-1.JPG.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2290,"url":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/?p=2290","url_meta":{"origin":3719,"position":0},"title":"Chennai leads the way for PB Partners","author":"CHENNAI EXPRESS","date":"February 24, 2025","format":"image","excerpt":"Chennai leads the way for PB Partners, with 62% YoY growth driven by a powerful 12,000+ agent network across Tamil Nadu ~\u00a062% business growth in one year \u2013 Chennai emerges as a key Insurance hub\u00a0~\u00a0 ~Strong network of 12,000+ Agent Partners in Tamil Nadu with 2,500+ in Chennai~ ~ Mission\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Commercial&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Commercial","link":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/?cat=8"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chennaiexpress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2S3A4232-scaled.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":1636,"url":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/?p=1636","url_meta":{"origin":3719,"position":1},"title":"MG Motor India expands its network in Chennai;","author":"CHENNAI EXPRESS","date":"May 24, 2024","format":"image","excerpt":"MG Motor India expands its network in Chennai; inaugurates new dealership and workshopWith 8 touchpoints in Chennai, car buyers can have more access to MG sales and aftersales Chennai, May 23, 2024: MG (Morris Garages), a 100-year-old automobile brand with a British legacy, strengthens its commitment by inaugurating a new\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Commercial&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Commercial","link":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/?cat=8"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chennaiexpress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MG-Chennai-Mount-Road-showroom-Inaugurated-by-Rajath-Kankaria-Dealer-Principal-Padam-Kankaria-Chairman-Kankaria-Group-Satinder-Singh-Bajwa-Chief-Commercial-Officer-MG-Motor-India-scaled.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":3540,"url":"https:\/\/chennaiexpress.org\/?p=3540","url_meta":{"origin":3719,"position":2},"title":"Mega Chennai Job Fair to Feature 500+ Companies at Loyola College on July 11","author":"CHENNAI EXPRESS","date":"June 18, 2026","format":"image","excerpt":"Mega Chennai Job Fair to Feature 500+ Companies at Loyola College on July 11. https:\/\/youtu.be\/zu8ljBhVlXo A Mega Chennai Job Fair, featuring the participation of over 500 companies, will be held at Loyola College, Chennai, on July 11, 2026.
