The Rise of E-Bikes: A Game-Changer for Food Delivery Riders?
In recent years, e-bikes have become increasingly popular among food delivery riders in Singapore. With their electric motors providing an added boost, these ebikes have revolutionized the way riders navigate the city’s busy streets. According to a survey, 75% of food delivery riders who switched from pedal power to e-bikes reported a significant increase in speed and efficiency mainly from the yield of less stamina reliance. This is especially true for those operating in peak stack order hours and town riders. With an average speed of 18 km/h compared to the 12 km/h achieved on pedal power, it’s no wonder why units like Jimove MC Pro e-bikes have become a top choice among riders.
The E-Bike Advantage: A Cost-Effective Option?
While e-bikes may seem like the obvious choice for food delivery riders, there are still many advantages to sticking with pedal power. For starters, pedaling is the lowest entry to start your freelance as food delivery riders – you can pick up any cheap 2nd hand bicycle and start earning. Additionally, Grab bicycle or Panda cyclists requires lower maintenance costs, unlike e-bikes which require regular battery charging and occasional ebike repairs or maintenance. As compared to a bicycle – if you have commited to a low cost bicycle; it’s end of life is less relevant to your next bicycle option. According to some of the ebike delivery riders; 60% of riders who stuck with pedal power reported an average daily income of SGD 80 -120, compared to the SGD 120-150 reported by those on e-bikes. It’s clear that both options have their strengths, but which one is more profitable?
Speed vs Income: A Statistical Analysis
To determine whether speed or income is a better indicator of success for food delivery riders in Singapore, we analyzed data from our delivery riders and compared it to the average speeds achieved by riders using e-bikes versus pure pedal. Our findings show that while there is marginal direct correlation between speed and income, there are some interesting trends between completion time which resulted in overall completed order per day. For example, riders on e-bikes tend to achieve higher speed of completion during peak hours, which resulted in better overall income that day. On top of that, there food delivery riders face less “slow down” by the end of day due to exhaustion.
The Verdict: It’s All About Longevity
So, what’s the verdict on whether e-bikes or pedal power are better for food delivery riders in Singapore? The answer lies in longevity. For delivery riders who prioritize sustainability, speed and efficiency as the rice bowl for income, e-bikes may be the way to go. However, those who value cost-effectiveness and easy start might consider a pedal power or refurbished used ebike to trial if you will be doing this part time; just as an extra income. Ultimately, it’s up to each rider to decide which mode of transportation best suits their needs and preferences.
