The short version

One-liner
Know how your kid really rode.
One sentence
Rygiene records your kid's e-bike and e-scooter rides automatically, flags the moments worth a look, and alerts you when something serious happens.
One paragraph
Rygiene is a road-safety app for families with kids on e-bikes and e-scooters. It runs on two phones: the kid's phone records each ride on its own — no buttons to remember, and they know it's there — and the parent's phone shows how it went. Each ride is checked against real road data and judged by the type of street the kid was on: speed, cornering, how they handle main-road crossings, and whether the phone was unlocked mid-ride. Rygiene flags the moments worth a look and sends a push alert only for the serious stuff. The parent sees what happened and decides what it means — and because the flags are for the parent's eyes, there's nothing for the kid to game.

Our story

Why Rygiene exists

Rygiene was created by a Florida dad and software developer after his own son started riding an e-bike. The tracking apps he found only showed a dot on a map, so he built what he actually wanted: an app that records each ride, flags the moments worth a look, and alerts parents only when something serious happens.

The idea that sets it apart from family-tracking apps is simple: see how the ride went, then have the conversation.
