About Ride Solar
Supporting our community while reducing our carbon footprint.
Co-founded by Islanders, Steve Arnold and Peter Ixkes and joined by Haligonian, Jeff Bonang, Ride Solar offers solar-powered, historical, food & drink experiences in two of the most beautiful cities on the East Coast of Canada – Charlottetown and Halifax.
Established in 2015, Ride Solar is a private sector solution to an ongoing government commitment to reducing greenhouse gasses to achieve net-zero by 2040. The first Canadian company to offer both land & water tours via solar-electric vehicles, Ride Solar has reclaimed, rebuilt & repowered a 1967 CDN Heritage Vessel from the 1967 Montreal Expo into North America’s LARGEST solar-powered boat (the world’s FIRST solar-powered dinner cruise boat) in Charlottetown and built the world’s FIRST solar-powered, 14 passenger pedal busses (Party Bikes) in Charlottetown & Halifax to offer food & drink historical eco-tours to those who like to have fun while saving the planet.
A decade of experience
Of satisfied tourists & locals
Our Mission
Our goal is to help reduce greenhouse gasses in PEI and Nova Scotia to achieve net-zero by 2040, but who said saving the planet can’t be fun too? We can all do our part by choosing wisely and incorporating food & drinks – we like to call it “tourism refined”.
