Why Ryze Mobility Exists
Transportation hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. Roads are congested. Commutes are getting longer. Remote communities lack efficient connections. Emergency services face delays that cost lives.
We're building the solution.
Ryze Mobility is developing a new category of vehicle—one that operates seamlessly on roads and in the air. No runways needed. Quiet. Efficient. Electric. Built for everyday use.
The Ryze 1 Platform
A dual-mode electric vehicle designed for personal flight and ground mobility.
- 2-seat configuration with modular cargo capability
- 100% electric propulsion—zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation
- Compact footprint fits in a standard parking space
- Designed and built in partnership with McMaster University Engineering
- Advanced safety systems under patent development
- Future upgrade path for extended range and flight time
Use Cases:
- Skip gridlock with 10–50 km urban flights
- Connect remote communities year-round with clean logistics
- Enable rapid medical and emergency response
- Unlock backcountry recreation with minimal environmental impact
- Provide ground-to-air mobility for specialized applications
Partnerships
McMaster University Faculty of Engineering — R&D collaboration on propulsion systems, structural optimization, and flight testing
Communitech Tech Accelerator — Startup support, mentorship, and ecosystem access
Why Now
The technology to enable safe, practical personal flight has arrived.
- Battery energy density has crossed the threshold for viable electric flight
- Advanced composite materials enable lightweight, high-strength airframes
- Autonomous systems provide unprecedented safety and ease of operation
- Regulatory frameworks for Advanced Air Mobility are being established globally
- Urban congestion and climate priorities are accelerating demand for clean, efficient alternatives
The FAA has committed to enabling Advanced Air Mobility operations by 2028 through their Innovate28 initiative. Transport Canada is actively collaborating with industry to establish certification pathways.
The future of mobility isn't just coming—it's here. And Ryze is building it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will the first Ryze 1 fly?
Our first full-scale prototype flight is targeted for 2027, with customer deliveries beginning in 2029 following certification.
How is this different from other flying cars?
Most eVTOL companies are building air-only vehicles that require vertiports and dedicated infrastructure. Ryze 1 is designed as a true dual-mode platform—operable on roads and in the air—with a compact footprint that fits in a standard parking space.
Is this actually legal to fly?
Yes. The FAA has created a new "Powered-Lift" aircraft category specifically for eVTOL vehicles and has committed to enabling operations by 2028 through Innovate28. Transport Canada is actively working with industry to establish certification pathways. Ryze is pursuing dual-track certification with both regulators.
How safe is it?
Safety is our top engineering priority. The Ryze 1 incorporates multiple layers of redundancy, continuous health monitoring, and proprietary safety systems currently under patent development. We're designing to exceed existing aviation safety standards.
What's the environmental impact?
The Ryze 1 is 100% electric with zero direct emissions. We're also exploring hydrogen-electric propulsion for future extended-range variants, aligning with the FAA's Hydrogen Aviation Strategy and Canada's clean energy initiatives.
How much will it cost?
Pricing will be announced closer to production. Early adopter reservations will receive priority pricing when pre-orders open.
Can anyone fly it?
Pilots will need appropriate licensing and training. We're designing the Ryze 1 with advanced autonomous systems to make flight more accessible, but certification requirements will be determined by aviation authorities.
