Uber transformed how millions of people move around. Airbnb shook up the hospitality industry, and now delivery bikes make sure customers get what they want, without leaving the house.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa\u2019s lockdown regulations were devastating for many businesses and industries, but it wasn\u2019t all doom and gloom as the country\u2019s delivery business realised exciting growth opportunities. While the car industry suffered tremendous losses, new motorcycle sales declined by only 1%.1 Online shopping is growing exponentially, and with that came a high demand for deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>Deliver excellent customer service with a reliable fleet<br \/> Retailers and fast-food chains quickly realised the need for reliable delivery bikes to ensure customers could get their products without any delays. After all, delivery experience and costs are key factors customers consider when choosing an online store.2<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because customers are no longer in store, doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t deserve excellent service. A reliable and well-maintained fleet of delivery bikes could be the missing component to ensuring an excellent experience,\u201d said Murray Long, Managing Director of First National Battery. \u201cDelivery delays will inconvenience customers, who are likely to share their experiences and damage your brand&#8217;s reputation, especially if it&#8217;s an issue that repeats itself,\u201d Long added.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining delivery fleet<br \/> Maintaining delivery bikes and ensuring they&#8217;re up to every trip isn&#8217;t only good for customer service but also for the delivery person. Knowing that the bike is in good condition can give them peace of mind on the road. And while a fleet manager is responsible for the vehicles, delivery people can also help maintain their bikes with daily checks of the tyres, lights, controls, and oil.3<\/p>\n<p>A smooth ride depends on a quality battery<br \/> A crucial step in maintaining smooth rides is fitting a good quality motorcycle battery. There are a range of high quality and performing batteries that are reliable and robust to keep your fleet moving and your customers happy. A quality motorcycle battery should be maintenance-free, have a long lifespan, and trusted by original equipment manufacturers (OEM).4<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining a fleet of vehicles and ensuring all deliveries happen on time can be stressful. But fleet managers can have one less concern by consulting with a trusted battery solutions provider who will recommend a range of batteries that will keep fleets moving, customers happy, and businesses growing.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <small>MyPR<\/small><\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE to submit your news to www.MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> Click here to submit your Johannesburg, Gauteng News &#8211; free.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Have you tried:<\/strong> Reach Trust for Solar and Building Management?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Did you know this about Johannesburg?<\/strong> The Johannesburg Zoo based in Parktown, is over 100 years old, and houses the only two polar bears in Africa \u2013 Geebee (who came from Canada) and Wang (who came from Japan).<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/the-rise-of-delivery-bikes-during-a-global-pandemic-and-lockdown\/\">MyJHB<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\" rel=\"noopener\">MyJHB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join the fun:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Add Your event<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener\">Submit a Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/directory\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Add your listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rise of delivery bikes during a global pandemic and lockdown: MyPR: The rise of delivery bikes during a global pandemic and lockdown: The rise of delivery bikes Photo: Supplied by client Every few years, an innovation comes along and disrupts industries.
