Best e-bike for Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders
Same bike, same battery, same workshop — £49 a week if you ride for either platform. No licence, no CBT, no credit check.
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.
ETT Industries is part of Otto Scooter Ltd — we make the Trayser. Competitor specs below come from each maker's published pages. Checked 30 August 2026: Zoomo Zero spec · Zoomo London plans. Where a maker does not publish a figure we write “not published” rather than estimate it. Last updated: 30 August 2026.
£49 a week, and what sits behind it
The same Trayser 2.0, the same 1,056 Wh battery, the same free maintenance and free battery swaps.
Identical bike and identical service. The platform rate is the only difference between these two cards.
Both: + £200 refundable deposit at collection · no starter fee · no credit check · 4-week minimum, then renew or return with no notice period.
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.
| ETT Trayser 2.0 e-bike | Electric moped | |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly price | £49 for Uber Eats and Deliveroo riders (£55 standard) | £69 for the Askoll eSPro 70 at Otto Scooter |
| Driving licence | Not required | UK provisional or full licence |
| CBT | Not required | Required |
| Insurance | Not insured — it is a bicycle in law | Hire-and-reward insurance inside the weekly price |
| Assisted speed | 25 km/h (15.5 mph) | Faster — model dependent |
| Cycle lanes | Yes | No |
| ULEZ / Congestion Charge | £0 | £0 — zero-emission |
| Refundable deposit | £200 | £200 |
| Energy cost | Under £2 a week to charge | About £2 a week to charge |
Moped figures come from Otto Scooter, which rents both. If the moped column is the one that fits your zone, that is a good outcome — see the moped line-up.
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.
