Riding is better together. Ride Hermes is home for the PEV community: the people who light up when they see a good trail, who wait at the bottom of the hill for a friend, and who keep showing up to get a little better every time. Whether you ride a onewheel, an electric unicycle, a board or a scooter, there's a crew here waiting for you. FIND YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR TRAILS Discover the trails riders are loving near you, or map a favorite of your own and share it with everyone. Follow your friends' rides in the feed, cheer them on, and see where your community is riding this week. RIDE WITH YOUR CREW Start a squad with the people you ride with and build something together, from your first group ride to a wall of podiums and relics. Join a league to meet riders in your region, or jump into a season and ride a set of trails alongside everyone else taking on the same challenge. BECOME YOUR BEST RIDER Every ride on a trail is saved, so you can watch yourself grow. The Trail Comparer shows you how your line stacks up against other riders, so you can learn from them. Snapshots show how you've progressed over time. And when you have a breakthrough ride and land in the top three, you earn your wings.
