We didn't compromise
weight for power.

Dual 350W high-torque motors reach 16 mph and climb hills with loads up to 120 kg — all packed into under 2 kg.

Aerospace-grade.
Watertight.

A patented chassis machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. Built to shrug off the daily commute and last for years.

A battery cleared
for takeoff.

A UN38.3-certified lithium-ion cell — making GLYDZ that rare personal mobility device you can legally carry onto a plane.

Engineered down
to the gram.

7 versions. 3 years from first sketch to working product. Every component obsessed over so the whole drivetrain folds neatly into your backpack.

Pocket power

350 watts a foot.
Under two kilos.

Dual 350W motors reach 16 mph while climbing hills with loads up to 120 kg. Heavy? Absolutely not — we compacted insane power into just 2 kg, controlled by a 2.4 GHz wireless throttle and electronic brake.

Carry it all day

Store it anywhere.
Park nowhere.

Each sole weighs under 2 kg and fits easily in your backpack. No more parking, no more theft — your transportation stays with you, everywhere you go.

The EV you can actually take on a plane
GLYDZ with ultra-bright safety lights
Day-one confidence

Ride to work on day one

Front steering and a stable wheelbase translate your body's lean into smooth, intuitive control. ~400 people have ridden V1 across 300+ test rides — no skating experience, and no falls. Ultra-bright safety lights keep you seen after dark.

Every detail, engineered

Ten features. Under two kilos.

From shock-absorbing wheels to ultra-bright safety lights — nothing is an afterthought.

Get your time back

Save one hour a day with GLYDZ

Halve the walking

High-mobility staff cover 10–15 km a day on foot; commuters lose the same minutes between the transit stop and the door. GLYDZ targets a 50% cut in that transit time.

Nothing to install

No docks, no charging bays, no parking, nothing to lock up. Set the straps to your shoe once — after that you slide your foot in, pull the strap tight and go. It leaves with you.

Goes where wheels can't

Pedestrian-only zones, terminals, factory floors, aircraft cabins. Speed is software-locked to a walking pace indoors and opens up to 16 mph outside.

Safety & control

Stable at speed.
Stops when you do.

Wide, stable wheelbasePlanted at speed. The geometry holds the line so you don't have to fight for balance.
Large wheelsRoll straight over cracks, cobbles and expansion joints instead of catching on them.
Dual independent brakingEach foot brakes on its own motor. Controlled full stop in seconds, not metres.
Tilt to steerFull-tilt front steering. Lean into the turn and it follows — control sits in your ankles.
Torque for hills2 × 350W pulls up to 120 kg uphill without stalling out halfway.
Software-locked speedWalking pace indoors, up to 16 mph outdoors. Set once, enforced by the controller.
PLEV-class lightingFront and rear lights to the personal-light-electric-vehicle standard.
Under 5 minutes to learnNo skating experience needed. Around 400 people have ridden V1.
  • Step on, step off. Switch between walking and gliding in a second — no stopping, no unpacking.
  • Nothing left behind. No vehicle to park, lock, or leave cluttering a corridor.
  • Walk up the stairs. Keep them on your feet and take the steps like anyone else.
  • Hands free. No handlebars. Carry the tools, the bag, the coffee.

Where you can ride. Cycle lanes at up to 25 km/h, and sidewalks at up to 6 km/h. Rules differ from one city and country to the next — check your local ones before you ride. We strongly recommend a helmet.

* Typical real-world range (TRR) — measured in everyday mixed conditions, not a laboratory best case. Actual range varies with rider weight, gradient, surface quality and riding style. We publish a conservative figure we can repeat rather than a maximum we cannot; most riders meet or exceed it.

obsession

Each pair is hand-built in Spain — a patented, one-of-a-kind production method paired with aerospace-grade aluminum. Finishing every pair by hand is how we guarantee quality, and it lets us customise them to fit exactly what our B2B partners need. Not just revolutionary, but built to last.

"I spent three relentless years engineering the perfect electric soles. Everyone told me it was impossible. But I knew the future of commuting needed to change — so I built it myself."
Tanguy Audouin, Founder & CEO — Madrid, Spain
