The e-commerce sector is expanding at a remarkable pace, and this growth necessitates a large workforce to meet the growing demand for last-mile deliveries. It is estimated that India’s gig workforce will reach 2.35 crore by 2029-30, with last-mile delivery forming an important component in the growth of the e-commerce sector.

However, challenges for the delivery executives like traffic congestion, rising fuel costs, and environmental concerns loom large. In response, Yulu’s electric bikes are revolutionising last-mile deliveries, offering an eco-friendly solution.
Let’s see how Yulu’s rental electric 2-wheelers are reshaping India’s delivery landscape, one sustainable ride at a time.
Boosting Delivery Workforce with Yulu DeX
Traditionally, working as a delivery executive required a valid driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle. This prerequisite posed a significant barrier for many individuals who were interested in entering the profession but did not meet these criteria.
Let’s understand the role Yulu delivery e-bikes play in empowering delivery executives:
Yulu DeX: A Purpose-Built Solution for Delivery Workers
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of delivery executives began using Yulu’s shared EVs to transport food, groceries, medicine or other orders to people’s homes. Yulu became a natural choice since it is easily accessible, affordable and safe (being a single-rider vehicle). Seeing the growing interest from the rider segment, Yulu went a step further and introduced its purpose-built EV for delivery executives—called the Yulu DeX—with enhanced features and affordable rental plans for these workers.
No Ownership Costs With LSEVs
Yulu’s Low-Speed Electric Vehicles (LSEVs) are a game-changer for delivery workers. They offer unmatched convenience with no need for documentation (like driver’s license, registration or insurance) or ownership costs. It’s the perfect solution for hassle-free and cost-effective delivery services.
Seamless Mobility with the Yulu App
Yulu is a tech-centric electric mobility platform, and at its heart is the Yulu app. A user can choose a long-term rental plan that enables them to get a DeX EV over several days or weeks. It’s also taken battery range anxiety out of the equation. Yulu’s innovative ‘Token System’ on the Yulu app also enables delivery executives to reserve charged batteries at Yuma Stations, enabling higher delivery uptimes.

Advantages for Delivery Executives
Delivery executives who choose the Yulu DeX experience have gained several benefits:
- Increased Earnings: When compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the DeX helps delivery executives save more money on every order by saving around 35–40% on running costs. As compared to a typical petrol vehicle, riding a DeX can save up to Rs 2.5 every kilometre.
- Quick Battery Swapping: Yuma Energy’s speedy battery-swapping stations across India ensure that delivery executives experience minimal downtime. When the battery of a DeX EV gets depleted, it can be quickly swapped for a fully charged one.
- Savings for delivery executives: Zero maintenance cost is one of the standout features of Yulu’s EVs. Unlike traditional petrol-powered vehicles that demand frequent upkeep, the Yulu DeX requires no maintenance by the rider. Yulu allows DeX clients to focus solely on delivery.
- Small Form Factor for Efficient Navigation: In bustling and often congested urban traffic, these compact delivery e-bikes can weave through narrow lanes, bypass traffic snarls, and reach their destinations promptly.
- Inclusive Design Empowering Women Executives: Yulu DeX’s design is a significant step towards gender inclusivity in the delivery industry. By offering a rider-friendly EV, that can be easily ridden by an individual of average height, like shorter seat height from the ground, Yulu DeX empowers women delivery executives.

Benefits for E-commerce Companies
The advantages of the Yulu DeX electric 2-wheeler also extend to e-commerce companies:
- Streamlined Onboarding: E-commerce companies can streamline their onboarding of delivery partners by promoting Yulu electric bikes. Yulu’s electric vehicles (EVs) are far more affordable than petrol vehicles, making them an attractive option for new delivery recruits.
- Improved Delivery Economics: By endorsing Yulu bikes, e-commerce companies can improve the economics of their deliveries. Yulu’s delivery ebikes are cost-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing companies’ operational expenses and contributing to a greener delivery ecosystem.
- Higher Delivery Executives Pool: Since Yulu shared EVs don’t require a driver’s licence, and are easily accessible to individuals, e-commerce can have a larger pool of delivery executives in their roster. Also, renting a Yulu bike is easy, and a delivery executive can do it in a few easy steps.
