Delivering food on a ped

[Marmalade]

Anyone know what sort of money will be expected to insure a ped to deliver fast/hot food?

My son has this as a masterplan, bought a shitty ped that will last a week of delivery abuse and before I break it to him, I was wondering on the likely cost for a 19yo to get the correct insurance for doing this.

Tried that, no quotes, i fear the online calculator cannot handle such large sums.

I just chose a random aerox based ped to quote on. sdp&c was £530, basing that as a percentage based on my bikes spd&c vs courier/fast food delivery his will be about £2000.

As a semi serious suggestion, what about an electrically assisted pedal cycle? Compare it to the cost of insurance, fuel and maintenance on a registered vehicle. Factor in that he'll be able to take some liberties with road traffic regulations and indeed roads.

If it's road legal, then it won't add a massive amount.
People likely won't realise if it's not.

However, as I often go on about - there's a lot of situations where I find a normal push bike is still quicker than cars (and up here they don't understand the concept of filtering generally, so also many motorbikes).

Hills are more of an issue, of course, but then slipping through parks and alleys makes up for some of that.

Sorry, that was in relation to Rogerborg's post about electric bikes not peds.

You're allowed 200/250w to be legal with out plate/tax/insurance, but over it should be considered a motorbike.
However, the two would look pretty much identical and it's rare anyone even realises it's electric to start with - on mine the only person I've had ask was wondering it was a hub brake.

He'd know and he's still retarded enough to think that a loud exhaust makes it go faster and changing to a set of renthal bars will make it handle better. so an electric bike, no matter how practical and money saving would be a big no no

I suspect that 19 year old me would likely have got TPO SD&P cover from Dodgy Dan's Discount Donners and Insurance Ltd, and convinced myself that ah, it'll be all right, I'll blag my way out of it.

I might even have been right.

Food deliverys on an electric bike are a cool idea

TBH from what I have seen a lot of drivers do it without any insurance above their own.

End of the month you usually see police trawl hot food places and do their drivers for no hot food delivery insurance.

The fact that employers aren't willing to pay for it and pay £1 a delivery (from adverts I've seen) and not pay for fuel it is the only way to actually make some money.

If hes just after a riding/delivery job at his age, wouldn't it be a lot less hassle and cheaper finding a place that provides the bike with the job. We have an absolute ton of domino's and similar round here that provide the delivery people with bikes etc.

That being said i'm sure now he has his own bike, he won't want to revert to some pizza-logo plastered 50cc

I may have got through to him today about the insurance thing.

I've not got through to him about just what a bad idea it is though.

Roll up, roll up. How much do we think he will be getting for this delivering shizzle?

When I delivered Chinese on my 50cc I only had TPO SD&P cover.
Jheeze most of them didn't have a CBT and a few I think we're prob not allowed in the country lol.

I got £5 p.h plus £1 per delivery (done 2-3 deliveries per hour. Only time I got stopped by plod I don't even think they realised Iwas doing deliveries! I just said i was insured.

Have a look at some bigger chains if your worried as they usually have their own bikes, so no need to worry about anything.

'ped delivery is typically NWM for the age.
What amuses me is all the shit-in-a-kebab joints expect you to pay to be able to deliver for them.
Fuck that, if you want a driver you pay to employ them.

Domino's cover you on their insurance as long as you're covered on your own vehicle.

Pizza Hut is all provided, TheDonUK spent a while doing it, he did a dedicated thread and was very helpful when I asked a few years back.

I finally got some details out of him.

£5ph plus 50p per delivery, using his ped.

He can't see how much they are taking the piss out of him

Minimum wage is £3.72 for a 16 year old and can be £2.50 or so as an apprentice - so, there probably are worse options.

Oh and get him to read Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" for some tips .
(I so wish the Fast Food industry DID work like that .)

He's 19, going on 14
