Launching a delivery fleet is more than buying bikes. Here are five critical factors every operator should address before day one.
1. Zone mapping — Understand your delivery radius, peak hours, and order density per zone.
2. Fleet sizing — Start with data-driven capacity planning, not guesswork.
3. Battery strategy — Swap stations vs charging? Range requirements per shift?
4. Driver programme — Structured onboarding reduces incidents and turnover.
5. Monitoring — Real-time visibility from day one prevents small issues becoming costly downtime.
