Ryder April Update - Designing Ryder One

Behind the scenes: watch Ray Horacek, our Industrial Designer, explain the design process from pieces of clay to Ryder One.

Louise here, CEO at Ryder 👋 taking over from Julien for this recent backer update as he is hands-on with our manufacturing partner to ensure we can ship Ryder One to every one of you.

In this new backer video, you’ll learn how we designed Ryder One with our industrial designer, Ray Horacek, ex-Head of Creative Design at Puma who has extensive experience in the footwear industry and consumer electronics industry.

Ray goes into the process of how we transformed simple clay models into Ryder One. If you want to know more about the design decisions that brought Ryder One to life, this video is for you!

Continuous progresses in manufacturing and software

These last few weeks have been hard. In four weeks, our production tooling will be finalized (stay tuned for the next updates!), and our software team is working as hard so we can provide the most seamless and secure experience for Ryder One - our next backer update will tell you more about it.

Perfecting Ryder’s One design: over a year of relentless iterations

It took us 8 months of iteration to build a product that you truly want. We actually spent a year and 2 months to go from our first design ideas to a final mechanical design. It also took 21 iterations to be ready for the manufacturing tooling.

Lastly, Ryder One is still available for pre-order at a discount of 50 USD for a limited time!

Don’t miss your chance to be part of history and #ryde with us. We’re one step closer to our mission of onboarding the next generation of web3 users and unlocking consumer DeFi through simple self-custody.

We can’t wait for you to experience this first-hand!
