Navigating traffic jams and congestion is a daily challenge for residents, and traditional modes of transportation often fall short of providing efficient and sustainable solutions for commuting. However, with its fleet of innovative electric bikes, Yulu is redefining urban commutes, offering a greener, quicker, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional transport.
But as we embrace the concept of shared mobility, it becomes crucial to understand the responsibilities that come with it. While Yulu bikes offer a convenient way to navigate city streets, users must adhere to certain rules and guidelines for a safe and seamless experience. Misuse or disregard for shared mobility norms can disrupt the system’s efficiency, affecting not just us but the entire community.

Rule 1: Parking In Designated Yulu Zone
An essential rule of using a Yulu bike is respecting the designated zones for ending your ride. Improper parking not only inconveniences traffic or pedestrians, but also disrupts the smooth functioning of the shared EV service for other users. Yulu Zones—designated areas for starting and ending your Yulu ride—play a pivotal role in maintaining a well-oiled micro mobility ecosystem. Users should ensure that they park their Yulu electric bikes in the designated zones indicated within the app.
- Don’t forget, wrongly parked bikes obstruct pedestrians’ paths and create clutter. Plus, it makes it harder for subsequent users (which could be you, the next time you need a ride) to locate a Yulu bike.
- Do always park your bike in designated Yulu Zones. To find a Yulu Zone, open the Yulu app on your smartphone and check the map for nearby zones.
Following these rules helps ensure smoother operations and increases the availability of Yulu bikes at designated Yulu Zones thus benefiting the city as a whole.

Rule 2: No Compromise on Traffic Rules and Rider Safety
Safety should always be your top priority when plying on the road. Although riding a Yulu electric bike is fun, it doesn’t exempt us from adhering to safety rules on the road. Users must stick to all traffic rules and regulations such as wearing helmets, respecting traffic lights, following speed limits, respecting pedestrian rights, and signalling while turning.
- Don’t disregard traffic signals or weave through traffic irresponsibly. Not only are these actions unlawful, but they also endanger you and others around you.
- Do stick to the laws of the road. For instance, follow traffic lights, follow lane discipline and yield to pedestrians.
By prioritising road safety and adhering to traffic rules, users can enjoy a safe and enjoyable riding experience while minimising the risk of accidents or injuries.

Rule 3: Leave E-Bike Repairs to Professionals
Regardless of how handy you are with a repair toolkit, it’s important to leave maintenance and repairs to Yulu’s professional mechanics and field staff. Attempting to fix mechanical issues or electrical components without proper knowledge or training can result in further damage or even safety hazards.
- Don’t attempt to repair your Yulu bike if it malfunctions. Interfering with complex electric systems can worsen the issue and even pose safety threats.
- Do report any issues via the Yulu App or take your bike to the nearest Yulu Centre.
Yulu has a dedicated team of experts responsible for maintaining and servicing its bike fleet. Users should report any issues they encounter through the app and allow trained professionals to handle repairs.
Rule 4: Stick to Operational Zones
Yulu’s bike services are location-specific and restricted to operational zones visible in the app. These zones, mapped with the help of city data and local authorities, ensure smoother rides and safer routes. Adhering to these zones promotes responsible riding and designated parking. Users should ensure that they stay within these boundaries while riding. Outside these boundaries, Yulu bikes are prohibited from operating or parking.
- Don’t use the Yulu bike beyond these operational zones. Violating this rule attracts penalties and disrupts service availability for other users.
- Do stay within marked boundaries while enjoying your Yulu ride.
When bikes are parked in designated zones, they become readily available for the next rider to pick up and ride. This availability helps reduce the time spent searching for bikes, making the overall system more convenient and accessible for everyone. Additionally, by encouraging users to operate within designated zones, Yulu helps maintain orderliness on city streets, minimising clutter and ensuring a smoother flow of traffic.
Rule 5: Spread the Yulu Joy
Riding a Yulu bike is fun and convenient, and sharing your experiences on social media can help others discover its benefits and inspire them to hop on the eco-friendly wagon. Just remember, keep it fun and spread the joy of shared mobility responsibly!
- Don’t click pictures or videos that encourage unsafe, unlawful, or reckless riding behaviours — whether it is on a Yulu or any other vehicle.
- Do share your positive experiences with your friends. If you like, you can tag Yulu on its Instagram handle and inspire others to join the electric micro-mobility movement for the betterment of the environment.
