Edenred to Increase Micromobility Offerings Through New Partnership with Ridepanda

BOSTON, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Edenred, the leading employee benefits provider in the United States, is partnering with Ridepanda, an electric micromobility vehicle provider, to offer more commuting options to employees across the country.

This partnership is aligned with Edenred's participation as a Founding Partner of the Intuit Climate Action Marketplace. The marketplace is an online destination that allows small businesses to take immediate action to replace high carbon-emission activities with more sustainable solutions. Edenred's role is to provide sustainable transportation solutions to small businesses that want to make smarter commuting choices, save money, and positively impact the environment.

Companies who contract with Edenred can purchase regular-priced and discounted Ridepanda electric scooters, bikes, and mopeds for commuting and personal use. "We're excited to be partnering with Ridepanda in offering reliable, safe, sustainable, and affordable commuting options to our clients", says Ed Fleischmann, CEO of Edenred USA. "The more micromobility options we provide, the better as we continue to keep our customers happy by providing the best commuting solutions in the marketplace."

Ridepanda is known for its "one-stop-shop" for purchasing light electric vehicles, including e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-mopeds. The company helps people find the best electric rides for their needs while also offering payment plans and other important features such as roadside assistance, theft insurance, and maintenance. Ridepanda can also personalize recommendations for products it sells and provides customer support to riders who need help with their vehicle.

"The adoption and use of small electric vehicles—such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-mopeds—represent the future of commuting and transportation," said Chinmay Malaviya, CEO at Ridepanda, and Charlie Depman, CTO at Ridepanda. "We're thrilled to partner with Edenred to provide our digital choice platform to all the employees in their network the flexibility to select the best electric vehicle that matches their commuting needs, and also contribute to positive environmental change."
