    Hey Benitez! You are an inspiration! I watched all your videos, I bought the gosen q7 ebike for my side hustle, I will start soon in montreal with doordash and ubereats! I also got a thermal bag 18x18 and a quadlock mount for my phone.
    Im super hyped! I will start doing deliveries only during lunch hour and diner hours.
    Keep the hustle brother!

    Since you already have the biking skills down, the biggest thing to learn is throttle control. Luckily you don't have to bother with a clutch on the Super Cub. Should be able to learn real quick! Just make sure you don't get over confident in your abilities, and wear your gear! Lookin forward to see you out there!

    • @EddieBenitez3

      YES! no clutch to deal with! thanks man!

    Really liked that time lapse turned to face the skyline, that was cool man. Sucks that you're getting screwed out of jobs, I hate that it's a mystery how the algorithm works with Uber Eats. But, I guess if they made it public people would game the system more than they do now. Keep up the grind man, it'll pay off!

    As a german listening to someone talking about making driving license in the USA: =) we have to take 12 Theoretical lessons, 15 practical lessons on the bike with a driving instructor and then a 1 Hour driving test with someone from the dmv following you and watching every step, and then: 2000 USD for the license

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel the US should adopt the learning aspect of it but not the 2000 usd....goodness that's expensive.

    Hi Eddie, do you think you are getting less order than previous year? Maybe people spending less money on delivery due to economic uncertainty?

    I've ridden for over 10 years, I got my licence while in the military. You gotta go through 3 courses (over a month of class) before you can get a license but gotta say was the best thing and I say made me a better rider. When I felt confident enough to do freeways (this was in Texas) I felt on top of the world, definitely work on your turns and manavoring will help you in the long run with cars.

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว +2

    is there doordash in Chicago? when I used to do food delivery in college. I got way more orders through doordash than ubereats. but I live in Atlanta so it might be different.

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I went online with Dash for a while in this video. Doordash sucks bad for bikers in Chicago. It’s best for cars and I’m hoping motorcycles.

  • @ROBB_DEEP
    @ROBB_DEEP ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One thing that I don’t like about the UberEats app is that you can’t “preview” the orders (items) before you accept it. Once you accept it, THEN you can see the details……then we have to cancel the order if we don’t like it (for our own personal reasons). Unless I’ve been doing something wrong? 🤔
    PS what motorcycle did you ride during classes? I ride an electric moped 🛵 (sporty Vespa styled) in the streets, but for class I had to go with a Honda Rebel 250 🏍️ since they didn’t have any Scooters. Do you have a regular car drivers license? 🤔

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว

      agreed 100% I wish we could preview like you said. I can't even remember what kind of bike I was on. I want to say it was a 250 also. I do have a regular drivers license.

    love your videos but I gotta say some of your decisions on the road are reckless. I'm talking about cutting off people who had the right of way such as at 17:25

      They were fine. You said “some” and gave me one example. Being safe is my top priority but I’m also not perfect. They were fine. I startled them. Give me a break.

    Your Go pro battery seem to last a long time, minds not worth two dead flies. I see why I don't run into you, I do the lunch hour for now. But coming up I'll do both. I general do lunch hour go to the Library charge my battery and do some editing then do the dinner hour for about three hours. Like your editing skills
