I've got that same delivery bag on my eBike! It holds a deceptively large amount of stuff. I can fit two 24-pack waters and still have half the bag left for additional stuff, so I have no problem fitting everything in it.
I do this on a honda cb125 and i accept jobs based on what i expect to be paid hourly. Eg 25-30 per hour. Therefore if its 15 minutes it needs to be $7.50 minimum. The fuel is almost nothing. Do your own servicing
How are you doing with this endeavor? I'm also considering doing the same thing! Fixing to take MSF and have my sight set on a Royal Enfield Hunter 350, also for purposes of door dash/Uber eats, etc! It's a win win if you love bikes, generally ppl have to wait for the weekend when they are off from work to get in some riding time, but if you're dashing on a bike you get to ride all the time and get paid for it! What would be a dull, mundane monotony in an automobile (and the gas expense that comes with it), is suddenly now an adventure on a charming bike that makes you feel good every time you throw a leg over it! Maybe that's romanticizing it a bit too much, but I guess I will find out soon enough.
I did deliveries way back when postmates was a new thing. I was making around $60/Hour on weekends. I still get videos recommended about it lol. It's much more difficult to earn a livable wage on there.
love the PCX! Wanted one of those but ended up getting an ADV because I found a used one nearby. Still wish I had the PCX so bad! So sporty and actually faster than the adv too
@@motardsquid I'm sure they are fairly comparable, especially the current models. In fact, I think they share the same engine now, but up until the recent models, the PCX has a slightly larger displacement engine than the ADV. No clue why lol The ADV handles great and has great suspension but tbh I think the PCX wins out if you do most of your riding on paved roads. The PCX probably handles even better on the streets
The pcx is a champ, have a2011 has been in 2 accidents, 1 major trauma accident, and that mf still survived still running till this day, lol. My everyday ride to work
Hiring outside companies to perform tasks formerly done by employees is the latest way for corporations to cut their costs of doing business and pass the expense onto someone else - they don't pay health benefits, fica, workmen's compensation insurance, etc. Self-employment is great, except you're on your own out there. Companies such as the food delivery giants like private contractors because that's not an expense for them. - It's your problem and also must be taken into consideration. Being able to pay for medical attention when needed is a BIG deal. (especially with the inherent dangers of two wheeled deliveries)
Absolutely on point. Things have gotten convenient, but the workers are are paying for it. The more i look for work the more i realize even small companies are using this strategy.
I like doing gig economy in addition to my seasonal jobs because I can have a lot of time off that way but work for like 12 hours a day when I feel like making more money. I think I’m going to get a scooter because my car doesn’t get great gas mileage. I’ve been doing Walmart spark because it’s less miles and makes more sense. I think door dash is more fun though.
@@nicholasolivas317 basically you go to Walmart and either shop for people or pickup pre packaged deliveries and drop them off in a route like Amazon flex. I personally like the shopping side of it because I know my local stores, but I have a friend who only does the other orders.
I'm from Denmark and I love doing food delivery on my scooter. I do it as a side hustle, I make music and day trade. We should focus on freedom and money every day as the highest priority. Keep the expenses low and invest your money in a side hustle. Probably not day trading, because it is super hard.
Its the packr 140, i have a link in the description on the videos. I like it, i know its huge but it has saved me so many times when getting big orders. The bag has hooks that have buckles that strap to the rack, its one of the weakest parts, i wish the buckle was located different place.
Hey Squid, I'm 3 weeks into Door Dash on my 49cc scooter. I have the pakir Bag as well. Can you do a video on how you are setting up the rack and bag to the scooter itself. My C3 has the OG rack so I can add my bag no problem there. I was just wondering how much of a hassle to get the rack secured on diff scoots. Im cominf from Pizza delivery. Drinks and soup are biggest pain in the butt right now. Id say 95% of my orders have drinks..
I am interested in delivery on my bike. I thought about issues of liquids. I thought to get either those cardboard cup holders from a restaurant or even just a regular to large cup holder. Just sharing ideas.
You always tell it like it is. So many of the other youtubers doing food delivery videos are all clickbait. Either they prey on the fears of riders talking about how bad it is… or they are the other extreme saying how you can make $400 to $500 a day! 😂 Mostly they make their money with youtube not food delivery, so of course they’re not gonna be honest. It’s all sensationalized. Your videos are refreshing because you’re actually a rider & you realistically show the pros & cons from your own experience. I’m about to buy a used Honda PCX & do food delivery as a side hustle here in NY on weeknights after my regular job installing solar panels, and on the weekends. Uber Eats accepted me right away. I am still waiting to be accepted for Doordash & Grub Hub. What i like about Uber Eats, is that you can go on whenever you want & go wherever you want. From what I hear about DD & GH is that you have to “schedule” your time in advance, so you can’t be spontaneous…and you also have to stay within a certain area. Anyway, I enjoy your videos for your honesty. Looking forward to making my own videos! I’m lucky, because like you, I am in a good area(New York). I don’t know how much I’ll make yet, but it’ll be fun just getting paid to ride my scooter. 🛵 💨
You are a cool dude. I solute you!

I was under the impression that there was a motorcycle in this video... 🤣
😁
"The tedious douchieness, will get on you." lol!
Truer words are seldom spoken. Best of luck to you man.

Thats a really good strategy
Hey I live in the DC area too. I’m gonna use doordash to get time on my bike. Just passed my msf figured I might as well monetize my practice

Is it? I heard the adv was faster. Your rear wheel is smaller than the front? How does that handle?

What is Walmart Spark

This helped a lot man thank you. I do want to ask about the bag that you have?
Amazon
Thank you.

What do you use to strap the delivery bag to your bike? And what bag do you use?
Its the packr 140, i have a link in the description on the videos. I like it, i know its huge but it has saved me so many times when getting big orders. The bag has hooks that have buckles that strap to the rack, its one of the weakest parts, i wish the buckle was located different place.

Im cominf from Pizza delivery. Drinks and soup are biggest pain in the butt right now. Id say 95% of my orders have drinks..
Interesting loose drinks in my area is like less then 5 percent. The rest are bagged! I hate drinks. Had a few spills.
I am interested in delivery on my bike. I thought about issues of liquids. I thought to get either those cardboard cup holders from a restaurant or even just a regular to large cup holder. Just sharing ideas.
where do you find the bag for the food? Amazon? Link?
Amazon
they're called packir. That looks like a 140. It will carry even the biggest pizza.
Uber takes 30% from the money and that is bs
😬
Motorcycles require insurance which adds to costs. Scooters…..are scooters.

DoorDash doesn’t use tips??? So when I tip drivers on DoorDash for my food where does that money go to?
