About Rides N Motion
Rides N Motion is Scottsdale's dedicated electric bike and scooter rental shop, located directly on the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt in the McCormick Ranch neighbourhood — Arizona's most popular paved bike path. Their storefront on North Hayden Road puts renters on the Greenbelt within seconds of picking up their vehicle, with miles of flat, scenic path stretching north toward the McDowell Mountains and south to Tempe Town Lake without ever touching a road.
The rental fleet includes a range of e-bike styles — cruisers, fat-tire models, folding e-bikes, and Phat Scooter seated electric scooters — available by the hour, half-day, or full day. Every rental comes with a helmet, lock, and charger, plus the staff's personalised route recommendations based on how much time you have and what you want to see. Popular routes include the Greenbelt loop through McCormick Ranch and Chaparral Park, the canal path to Old Town Scottsdale, and the longer ride south to Papago Park and Tempe Town Lake. Self-guided and guided options are both available.
What makes Rides N Motion stand out is their Greenbelt-adjacent location and the variety of their electric vehicle fleet. While most Scottsdale bike shops cater to road cyclists or mountain bikers, Rides N Motion focuses squarely on casual recreation and sightseeing — making the experience accessible to visitors who may not have ridden a bike in years. The seated Phat Scooters are a particular hit with couples and older guests who want a fun, effortless way to cruise the paths. Consistently high Yelp and Google ratings reflect the friendly staff and well-maintained equipment.
