As per the arrangement, foodpanda riders can now get motorcycles on installments as low as Rs. 999/- per week. For riders’ convenience, the process to acquire the new motorcycle is also kept very simple. Any eligible rider can visit a nearby foodpanda pit stop with his valid CNIC and driving license for registration and a new motorcycle is handed over in the next few days.

The new bikes, in comparison to what the riders are mostly driving, offer significant fuel efficiencies which improve the economics of working as delivery riders. Furthermore, with affordable installment payments, the riders are able to own the asset within 18 months or less.
