Can you ride a steel defender in combat and direct it on your turn as a bonus action or do you have to take a bonus action to command it to move during its turn.
You don't have to use a bonus action to command them to just move. To dash, yes.
You can ride them if they are one size bigger than you or larger, so you could start as a gnome, goblin, halfling, or verdan and be able to ride them. Or, you could wait until level 5 when you get enlarge/reduce and either reduce yourself or enlarge the steel defender.
