In 2023, Bengaluru was ranked as the world’s second most congested city in 2023, and it’s only one of the many Indian cities reeling under traffic congestion. However, innovative solutions like e-bike rentals are addressing commuters’ woes.
Yulu, a technology-driven urban mobility company has created a mobility rental platform which you can access via Yulu’s user-friendly app. The app offers a host of features designed to make your journey smoother and more efficient. Beyond allowing you to book the rental EV and pay for your ride online, the app has a bunch of other features, which we will discuss in this article.
Let’s look at three specific features of the Yulu app that you may not have known about.

Feature 1: Google Map Integration
The first feature that we’re discussing is the Yulu app’s seamless integration with Google Maps. Instead of having to switch between apps or guessing your way to the nearest Yulu zone or bike, you can now get accurate directions by tapping the arrow icon next to a desired zone or bike location. And voila – Google Maps opens up showing you the route! This feature considerably enhances user experience by saving time and effort.
Consider Rahul, a Yulu user who works in Bengaluru. He often has meetings across town and hates getting stuck in traffic jams. But by using Google Maps within the Yulu app, he can quickly find his way to the nearest Yulu Zone to pick up or drop his vehicle and reach his destination without any hassle.
Feature 2: Real-Time Trip Details
Another feature of the Yulu app is the availability of real-time trip details. Once you’ve unlocked a bike and started your ride, the app tracks your journey in real-time through GPS. At any point of time, you will know how long you have been riding and you can calculate the rental amount to be paid based on these information. This allows you to keep a record of your ride and know how much your ride may cost.

Feature 3: Safety Nudges
Rider and bike safety are the foremost priorities of Yulu’s technologically sophisticated mobility platform. Yulu’s servers are constantly talking to its internet of things-equipped bikes and smart batteries on one side, and with the user (through the app) on the other. This enables it to proactively inform users to undertake the appropriate riding behaviours. For instance, Yulu’s app provides timely safety nudges to riders before, during and after a ride. It also alerts users of potential issues – whether related to battery levels, the user’s location vis-a-vis Yulu’s operational zones, or their riding behaviours (such as wrong-way riding) which are in violation of traffic rules.
At a time when road accidents account for around 1.19 million fatalities annually. the safety warning nudges on the Yulu app makes it a best in class feature in e-bike rental services.

The Yulu App: A Feature-Loaded Platform for All Users
The Yulu App is a one-stop solution for the rental needs of multiple types of users- professionals, students, delivery executives or home-makers. Through the app, users can check detailed information about each Yulu Zone, including how many bikes are available, the type of bikes (Miracle or DeX), the range of each bike, and much more.
This goes a long way in aiding users commuting plans and helps them enjoy the urban mobility solutions to the fullest. For instance, if you’re planning to rent a Yulu Miracle for a quick errand during your lunch break, knowing how to navigate to the nearest Yulu Bike saves you valuable time and prevents any unpleasant surprises.
Mobility-As-A-Service: The Idea That’s Changing The Way We Move!
To sum it up, the Yulu app’s features work collectively to make commuting safer, easier, and more user-friendly. From guiding users through Google maps to sending them real-time trip details and safety nudges, Yulu is indeed setting new standards in urban mobility, one feature at a time!
