Uber on Scooter
Was just thinking "Uber on Scooter" which can be an enjoyable thing to do depending on the client. But I Google it to see if they already came up with it but from what I can tell not exactly what I had in mind.

Re: Uber on Scooter
Fun idea, but the liability aspect of it would likely make it a non starter. You'd probably have to provide protective gear in all sizes. Also, people not knowing how to be a passenger on a bike is a bit scary.

Re: Uber on Scooter
This business exists all over Asia.
Where people only use a small jet helmet as protection on scooters it is not a big issue to have a cap at hand.
A it oversized scoot, but I've also seen Gold wings doing motorcycle taxi services in Paris, France.

I guess that isn't too surprising if I think about it, but I was thinking about the litigation happy environment here in the states. You'd probably have to bubble wrap the passenger to get insurance.

Re: Uber on Scooter
I'm driving with Uber Eats while waiting for my pension eligibility (laid off a couple years' shy). In some regions they allow scooters or even bicycles for delivery. Not in mine - I asked.IvyGodivy wrote:Was just thinking "Uber on Scooter" which can be an enjoyable thing to do depending on the client.

It might be hard to fake, because periodically, at random, they ask for a face and vehicle verification - a selfie, sent directly to their computer to see if the contours match your profile pic. I might get away with using the PCX for deliveries, for a time - but when they get me flagged, it's termination.

Re: Uber on Scooter
in Thailand, 2-wheel taxis are as normal as 3 or 4-wheelers.
