How it works
- Apply online. Your name and WhatsApp number, on your phone. It takes a minute.
- ID and licence first. Photos of your ID and the back of your licence card, and a selfie. We check them with Home Affairs, usually the same day.
- Then the rest. Upload your bank details, proof of address and 3 months of statements.
- Checks and a written quote. We check that the payments fit your income. Your quote stays the same for 5 business days.
- Sign and ride. We go through the agreement line by line, check the bike with you, and you ride away.
- Pay weekly. A debit order on the same day every week. Can't pay one week? WhatsApp us that day.
- It's yours. After your last payment we put the bike in your name.
No deposit
Many rent-to-own and rental deals ask for R1,000 to R1,500 before you get the bike. We don’t. You pay the first week up front, and that’s it.
Renting or rent-to-own?
Renting a delivery bike usually costs R550 to R750 a week, and the bike is never yours: after two years you’ve paid R57,000 to R78,000 and own nothing. With rent-to-own, the weekly money pays off a new bike you keep.

| 12 months | R900 | R46 800 |
| 18 months | R740 | R57 720 |
| 24 months | R660 | R68 640 |

If things change
- Pay off early at any time, with no penalty.
- Behind on payments? WhatsApp us the same day. The law sets out the notices we must send, and we never take a bike without following it.
- Can’t carry on? Hand the bike back in good condition and walk away.
