Smarter Campus Mobility for Students and Faculty

Modern universities and corporate headquarters are often massive, sprawling environments. Navigating between lecture halls, dormitories, or office blocks can take significant time, often causing students to rush and staff to lose productive hours in transit. Traditional options like shuttle buses are restricted to main roads, while cars are impractical due to parking shortages. This creates a gap in effective campus mobility.

EZGlyd bridges this gap with a vehicle designed for the unique “micro-city” environment of a campus. Our foldable electric trikes allow users to travel door-to-door quickly, silently, and safely, redefining how academic and corporate communities move.

Solving the “15-Minute Walk” Problem

On a large university ground, a 15-minute walk between classes is common. This eats into study time, increases stress, and often leads to lateness. For corporate campuses, it means employees hesitate to visit colleagues in other buildings, creating silos.

EZGlyd enhances campus mobility by turning that 15-minute walk into a 3-minute ride. Unlike bicycles which must be locked outside (and are frequently stolen), the EZGlyd trike folds up compactly. This “carry-on” capability means a professor can ride to a lecture hall, fold the vehicle, and store it in the corner of the classroom, eliminating the anxiety of theft and the hassle of finding a bike rack.

Designed for Dorms and Offices

Space is a premium in student housing and corporate cubicles. Most electric scooters are awkward to store, often cluttering hallways or fire exits.

The Vertical Storage Advantage

EZGlyd’s patented design allows the vehicle to stand vertically, occupying a footprint similar to a small suitcase. This makes it the ultimate dorm-friendly vehicle. Students can keep it under a desk or in a closet, charging it via a standard outlet. For facility managers, this means no need to build expensive new bike shelters to support improved campus mobility; the infrastructure already exists inside the buildings.

Safety on Crowded Pathways

Campuses are high-density pedestrian zones. Mixing high-speed vehicles with walkers is dangerous, which is why many universities have banned traditional electric scooters.

Stability and Control

EZGlyd is different. Our 3-wheel chassis offers superior stability at low speeds, allowing riders to navigate crowded pathways safely without the “wobble” associated with 2-wheel scooters. The vehicle is designed to stop instantly with its regenerative braking system, making it safer for mixed-use paths where students are walking, texting, and riding simultaneously. This safety profile makes EZGlyd a preferred partner for administrators looking to regulate campus mobility.

Supporting Green Campus Initiatives

Universities and tech companies are often at the forefront of sustainability. Diesel shuttle buses and gas-powered maintenance carts contradict these environmental goals.

• Zero Emissions: EZGlyd is 100% electric, helping institutions reach their carbon-neutral targets.

• Noise Reduction: The silent electric motor preserves the quiet academic atmosphere of the campus, unlike noisy gas engines.

• Energy Efficiency: Charging an EZGlyd costs pennies per week, making it an economically viable solution for student fleets or faculty sharing programs.

Industry Insight: The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) highlights that transportation is often the second-largest source of campus greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to active micromobility is a key strategy for reducing this footprint. External Link: AASHE – Campus Transportation Sustainability

Use Cases for Campus Fleets

Beyond individual ownership, EZGlyd serves as an excellent fleet vehicle for university operations.

Security and Patrol

Campus security officers need to cover large areas quickly but also need to interact with students face-to-face. The open design of the EZGlyd allows for approachable community policing, while the speed ensures rapid response to emergency call boxes or incidents on the periphery of the grounds.

IT and Maintenance Staff

Tech support staff often carry heavy equipment between buildings. The cargo capacity of the EZGlyd trike allows IT personnel to transport servers, projectors, or tools safely, without waiting for a facility van.

Upgrade Your Campus Transport

Whether you are a student looking to save time or an administrator aiming to improve campus mobility, EZGlyd offers the technology to move you forward.
