What is the best e-bike for Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders in London?

The ETT Trayser 2.0, at £49 a week for riders on either platform through Otto Scooter — £55 is the standard rate. It carries 1,056 Wh in one removable pack, is rated at 50–60 miles per charge, runs a Gates carbon belt instead of a chain and stops on hydraulic discs. A £200 refundable deposit applies at collection; there is no starter fee and no credit check.

As an EAPC it needs no driving licence and no CBT, pays no vehicle tax, no ULEZ and no Congestion Charge, and costs under £2 a week to charge. Being a bicycle also means it is not insured the way a moped is — that is the honest trade, and it is the reason some riders choose a moped instead.

Bike or moped

Which vehicle fits your platform work?

Most riders pick by route, not by price. Dense central zones reward a bicycle in the cycle lanes; wide suburban zones reward a moped that covers more ground per hour.

Getting on one

What the collection actually involves

1. Ask Otto for a bike

Otto Scooter holds the stock and confirms what is on the floor. Most riders collect within a few days.

2. Four documents

Proof of address, photographic ID, a screenshot of your rider ID from the app, and a selfie. Upload them in advance if you want a short appointment.

3. Pay at collection

First week plus the £200 refundable deposit. No credit check, no starter fee.

4. Ride it away

The bike is set up for you at 66 Paddenswick Road, and it comes back there for servicing and battery swaps.

Why battery size decides platform earnings

Platform work pays by the drop. Every hour the bike is on a charger is an hour you are not earning, which makes range an income question rather than a comfort one. The Trayser is rated at 50–60 miles from 1,056 Wh — about 18–21 watt-hours per mile — which covers a full London shift for most riders. The nearest published figure on a rival delivery e-bike you can rent in London is the 628 Wh Zoomo prints for its Zero and its Sport. The arithmetic is on the battery guide.

What the £49 does not include

It is not insurance. An EAPC is a bicycle, so there is no hire-and-reward cover attached to it, and any third-party or personal cover you want is your own arrangement. It is not a phone, a thermal bag or a helmet. And it is not a permanent price for a temporary bike: there is a 4-week minimum, after which you renew or return without notice.

Where else riders look

Zoomo is the other name you will see, and it is a real option: it publishes £39/week on an 8-week Boost plan, £55/week cancel-anytime, a “one-time £25 starter fee may be applicable”, and stores in London, Manchester and Birmingham. If you want the cheapest short-shift week or you might leave London, look there first — the honest head-to-head is on Trayser 2.0 vs Zoomo Zero.

Platform questions

Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders, answered

What is the best e-bike for Uber Eats and Deliveroo in London?
For riders who work full shifts, the ETT Trayser 2.0: 1,056 Wh of battery in one removable pack, 50–60 miles per charge, a Gates carbon belt instead of a chain and hydraulic disc brakes. It is £49 a week for Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders through Otto Scooter — £55 is the standard rate — with a £200 refundable deposit, no starter fee and no credit check.
How do I get the £49 a week rate?
Ride for Uber Eats or Deliveroo and show it. Otto Scooter applies the platform rate at collection when you bring a screenshot of your rider ID from the app, alongside the other three documents: proof of address, photographic ID and a selfie. You can upload them in advance to save time at the workshop.
Do I need a licence, CBT or insurance to deliver on an e-bike?
No licence and no CBT. The Trayser 2.0 is an electrically assisted pedal cycle — 250 W assist that cuts out at 25 km/h (15.5 mph) — so it is a bicycle in law: no driving licence, no CBT, no vehicle tax, no MOT, no ULEZ and no Congestion Charge. It is also not insured the way a moped is; hire-and-reward insurance is a moped thing, and third-party cover on a bicycle is your own arrangement if you want it.
Will one battery last a full delivery shift?
On a Trayser, usually. 1,056 Wh at the 18–21 watt-hours per mile the bike is rated for covers 50–60 miles, which is a full London shift for most riders. If you double-shift, Otto Scooter swaps the flat pack for a charged one at the Hammersmith workshop at no cost rather than making you wait out a charge.
What is included in the weekly price?
The bike, the 1,056 Wh battery, a charger, a security lock and chain, free maintenance and free battery swaps at the workshop. A 4-week minimum applies; after that you renew or return with no notice period. Charging is the only running cost you add — about 31p a full charge, under £2 a week.
