Top 5 Safety Tips for New BikePoolers
At RideVelo, we believe that the foundation of a great ride-sharing community is trust and safety. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a first-time pillion, following basic safety protocols ensures a smooth journey for everyone.
1. Always Wear a Helmet
This is non-negotiable. Both the rider and the pillion must wear BIS-certified helmets. At RideVelo, we encourage all our riders to carry an extra helmet for their pillion passengers.
2. Verify Before You Ride
Always check the profile of your co-traveler. Look for the "Verified Rider" badge and read previous ratings. Double-check the bike's license plate number to match the one provided in the app.
3. Communication is Key
Coordinate your pickup and drop-off points clearly using the in-app chat. Let your co-traveler know about any specific preferences or needs before the journey begins.
4. Share Your Ride Status
Keep your loved ones informed. Use the "Share Ride" feature to send your live location and ride details to a trusted contact.
5. Sit Comfortably and Securely
Pillions should sit centered and avoid sudden movements that might affect the bike's balance. Always keep your feet on the footpegs and maintain a secure but comfortable grip.
