• DoorDashing on a Bike ...
Thanks for watching!
I’m doing Door Dash on foot and I’m out here in Arizona. My rule is to never take an order further than 1 mile. I also reject orders with too many drinks…..makes it difficult to run when you’ve got 2-8 drinks. Surprisingly there’s at least 2-5 orders a day that aren’t further than a mile
Really?! No way! That’s crazy! Good for you!
isnt rejecting orders going to stop you from getting more? I'm just speaking on experience from doing uber eats when it started, i eventually got banned forever fuck them.
@@DakotaEthridge yep....but I don't want people getting the wrong idea. I'd use my car if I still had it. I figure I'd make a few bucks while I look for a job at a grocery store or something. I also live rent free with my uncle. So I'm actually still pretty lucky despite all my past mistakes in life. I do Door Dash on foot right now to lessen the burden I am for my uncle. I should have my life together by now but I'm going to jail for a DUI in 2 weeks from now. I'd get a more stable job if I wasn't going to jail so soon.
@@chris7285 sorry ur going thru a hard time, hope it gets better! I respect the grind ✊🏼
@@chris7285 how much do make?
Be a great gig for someone who wants to get in shape/stay in shape and not pay for a ton of gas.
Absolutely! 💪
@@DakotaEthridge You could get a pedal assist hub for your wheel too. When you get too tired, switch it on for a while.
Awesome tip! 🙌
@@The_Gallowglass I'm about to look up what a pedal assist hub is and price but do you know of where I can find one that you'd recommend for someone such as myself who is on a budget.
Or for someone young and broke :D
Love how this was straight to the point but like a Vlog
haha! Wow thank you so much! 😊

Yesterday was so cold in the 30s, and I was delivering on my bike. My dad got me an Ebike, and it had a USB port that charges my phone while I ride with peddle assist.
Being in the same city makes this video feel a lot more informative…now I know exactly what to expect☠️☠️💯
🤜🤛
I have a bike because my old car had an oil leak and other problems since I got ripped off, and I was supposed to get a new car for a birthday gift and that went wrong. So I decided I’ll just try door-dashing on a bike. Thanks for the video!
Keep doing the best you can do at least you are trying 👍👍
Do more of these man! They’re good👌🏻
Thank you!
Problem with door dash is you may get an order for $7 only then not get another for a hour. Then other times you might make $40 in three hours which is not even minimum wage in Vancouver BC.
It’s inconsistent which is vital for a reliable job.
I would not work 50 hours a week at my current job if I wasn’t making the same money every week.
Thanks for the clear and concise video! I'm about to get started with this, seems like a great way to get paid for doing something I do already!
Exaclty! Will be fun, I hope you enjoy it!
Is it only worth doing if you’re in a downtown area? I feel like in a regular town you’d be competing with car deliveries.
Who are better for bike earn per order or by time?
😅 your video about delivery specially this video , I found very straight forward , no lengthy about roads and areas.
Really 👍🏻good.
I wish had done what you're doing now in my younger days. Keep after it!
Haha! Thank you!! 😆
0:33 Rocking that hair, fella. Thanks for sharing your experience. God bless!
Man I'm scared shitless of geting my ebike stolen, even with locks and alarms, how do you cope with that?
I temporarily lock it to something outside like an iron fence or something made specifically for locking up bikes. I’ve also taken it in to lobbies of apartments or all the way up to the apartment door, on the elevator if I feel like it calls for all that.
I get it, but I suppose you just gotta take the precautions or take it with you!
Got one stolen last week but the motor doesn't work and I bought it for 40 bucks with the broken motor so the joke is on the thief, still a nice regular bike though smh!!
Hide a GPS tracking device on/in the frame.
some ebikes have a geo locking feature so if it gets to far away from you it locks down. but relly dont use cheap locks and dont every leave it far away. take it inside when possable. or go with a e-unicycle ther so small you can carry them anywhere with you.
Buy a motorcycle lock designed for NY.
Bolt cutters can't even get on ot it's so big, and angle grinders take awhile to get through it.
It's easier when you're in an urban city with bike infrastructure or slow traffic. Here, bike lanes don't even exist. You have to ride on the sidewalks, which have pedestrians and are full of huge cracks.
THIS MAN IS DAX FLAME AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
Lolol
Really great video man i ordered my hyper scrambler 2 electric bike and cant wait to start dashing im really going all out on steal locks and as much security as i need. my bike is weighing in over 100ibs so i wont neccarily be able to carry that thing up any stairs but keep posting your inspiring !
How's it going with that? I'm getting an evbike bc 90% of my travel is just to an from work so I wanna get rid of my vehicle but thought a side gig of delivery could be cool but I dunno if it's worth the hassle
I'm an uber driver, grubhub driver, but I lost my rental car because I couldn't afford to pay it, so my uncle is letting me use his one speed pedal bike to make deliveries, I haven't tried it yet, but I think I might lose weight and earn money at the same time because that bike doesn't have any gears
I was thinking of doing this for certain areas with hard to find parking for restaurants.
Thanks for the video it was a lot of help and it was very detailed
wow u so cute and funny 😂 glad I found your channel, thanks for making this! What do you do with your bike during pickups/dropoffs? Do you ever bring it inside with you or lock up? Does looking for a spot & locking up waste much time?
Thank you! It kinda depends. I’ll typically lock it up. I have also brought it with me in an elevator and the whole nine up to someone’s apt. door! Haha! Sometimes I’ll hide it in an apt lobby. All kinda depends on the environment. But I don’t spend but a minute doing anything like that, not a major stress for me!
Moving to Arvada soon and will be bicycle delivering. is it better to do Uber and Door dash or just one to start out with?
I've been on the door dash waiting list for 3 months. I don't think they will hire us cyclist unless you have a car.
Whats a good delivery service I could work for?
i have an ebike and like the other guy...I'd be sketched out leaving it outside. I would probably always try to bring it inside
I would be too! I always lock it up and keep an eye on things! 👀
Crazy how this guy can make 100$ on a bike, I’ve struggled to make 100$ in a whole day in a car.
Less traffic
New subscriber 🤘
Good informative video, thank you. Good luck.❤️
Thanks!
I disagree with that cuz like on doordash often get back-to-back orders and double orders. It really depends on the area and the time you do it some towns doordash towns and some ubereats towns
Your hair looks awesome man. What's your hair care routine?
Don’t cut it. Don’t wash it. Haha!
Do they give you that back back for DD bike deliveries? Thinking of doing DD with my bike but not sure how I would ride it from place to place
Uber Eats offered it at a discount for a 3rd party company. I haven’t seen it around anymore but they are a hit! Search Amazon for “insulated delivery backpack” you will find something similar in functionality…but missing a little bit of swag. 😏
Can you sign up for this without a valid License
Great video man thank you I want to start this on bike also I stay here in Las Vegas any tips what would say to me u inspired me have a great weekend and new week
Get a good bag!! It was a game changer once I upgraded.
@@DakotaEthridge what is the bag called that you have on in the video?
An Insulated Delivery Bag
YOU ARE A BEAST AMAZING
Im getting a cargo trailer for the back of my bike, might try dashing.
Ooo nice! Lemme know how it turns out!
Came here because I want to sign up but it’s expensive for DL right now
You convinced me to start Uber eats.
Hey bro I'm trying to sign up in doordash using my bike but there's no bike option in vehicle type.
Only certain cities allow it
@@DakotaEthridge ohh okay, how about if i get a license, can i register and use my dad's car instead? Is that possible? Like I'll use my dad's name.
@@MarccVillanueva I think that should work but I'm not an expert on their policies!
@@DakotaEthridge hey bro how do you get paid in doordash? Do i need to have a bank account first? Or how does it works? Cause in the Philippines im a delivery biker we usually remit the money that we collected from the customer and then we will subtract our income
I'm thinking of picking up doordash in denver cuz I live pretty close to downtown and have a 20mph e-scooter. My question is how do you handle orders with drinks?
I normally will fill my bag with empy drink holders to just fill the space with cardboard but keep the drinks upright! The bag has little cup straps but stuff is still gonna shake a little. It’s not gonna be delivered as perfect as by car but what can we do 🤷🏼♂️
Dude denver doordash on bike sucks. I just started. They give me zero orders and i bike from hotspot to hotspot . I don’t understand how this guy gets orders
@@codyfenner6780 How is your delivery on bike going on ? Have you started to recieve any orders as a biker in Denver?
Sighing up on the dasher app it doesn’t show the option for bike or scooter???
You prob live in a city where they’ve determined biking is a no go.
Hey great video! Thanks! 😋
LOL an add for a 4 minute video though, damn.
🤑
So ive seen some setups on what people like to use, do you perfer having a backpack rather than a basket on the rear or front of the bike.
I think I would looove a basket, but I’ve never had one! I could def see how it could save my back after a long day!
Hey! So I've never actually used an e-bike so i don't really have a great recommendation there! I had a Honda Ruckus (scooter) back in the day & loved it! I want to get one again!
So for drinks...I still use those cardboard holders in my backpack while biking - but, I use a bunch spread out in the bag to fill the empty space and it typically will leave them more secure than without! So imagine using one for the "foundation" and then the rest are like tetris blocks to fill the empty space! It's never 100% but at least my efforts are!
For pizza...I try not to accept pizza orders while biking. If somehow it slips through the cracks - I'll typically hold it with one hand and bike with the other. It's very difficult! I end up taking it slow...
Hope this helps!
Great video bro you ever think about putting a motor on it would make it easier bro
Wouldn’t that be nice! I’ve def thought about doing it on a moped and flying through it!
You can put it right on your bike bro check out my channel you will see what I’m talking about get you around fast and cheap to build one
Except it's a 1099 so than if you worked for an employer. Plus for people that use cars, the wear and tear isn't worth it. No benefits either. Just isn't for me
doordash isnt busy in my area :( just did my first uber eats delivery today :D i have an electric scooter
LET’S GOOOO! 🛴
I have a mountain bike is that ok I need a faster bike
Hey Dakota Ethridge. How can one register using bike?
It’s an option when you register “your vehicle.” Only available in certain cities!
@@DakotaEthridge what cities?
Not sure! I’m in Denver and I’m good to go for it!
@@DakotaEthridge what does it require tho. Can’t find a video on how to register and stuff
Not sure! I think DoorDash hand selects which cities they find to be appropriate for biking.
I’m hoping to make some extra cash for my schooling and want to try DoorDash.. what would you do if there is an order with a lot of drinks and you only use a bike to deliver the orders ?
I’ve only ever had it where I was carrying two orders and one was from a sushi / ramen place where I had a bunch of different containers.
You could cancel an order once you arrived simply because it won’t fit. Sometimes I’ve had to do that if I was already carrying something then I get a pizza just because the pizzas won’t fit in the bag.
this is insperational!
I wonder how many miles he covered in that time
What type of bag is that you use to carry the food and where can one like it?
Insulated delivery backpack!
Does door dash give you a smaller work area than a car?
Not that I’ve found.
I'm doing Uber eats on my bike. I'm saving up for a Aniioki Aq177!
Oooooo nice!
Hello I have a question is it safe doing Food delivery while on a e scooter in the streets as a food Delevery person. Csn you share the car lane well. I know u did with a bicycle just curious thx
I would check the local laws as I think they are different city to city. My experience has been that cities prefer you to be in the street or a bike lane as it's safer for walking pedestrians this way. My advice if you do this or with a bike...travel in the middle of the car lane to completely own it as when I'm off over on the side people try to sneak past me really close and it feels a lot more dangerous! This applies to city and slower roads - otherwise, I'm on the sidewalk!
Which ebike you suggest for starters
I don’t use an e-bike. Unfamiliar with her work…
where do you put your bike while you wait for an order?
I normally chain it to something…
But how are u allowed to use a bike the app don’t allow it it asks for car
I think it’s based on your location! It seems like DoorDash only has the bike option turned on in specific cities!
Love your vide
How do you deliver drinks with the backpack?
Very very carefully…the bag has some straps to act as cup holders. It’s not perfect. But I meannnnnn….
@@DakotaEthridge thanks! Looking to try this myself :)
Love from Nepal ❤️
🫶
red letter media music!
Do u live in a van full time im guessing?
Kinda. I’ll stay with friends or family from time to time.
Where did you get your bag from
I got it directly from the UberEats Shop! It was a limited product I think because I haven’t seen it since!
Search for “insulated delivery backpack” for something similar!
I’m thinking about switching from my job to this as my main job. Should I do it?
gurl idk…
@@DakotaEthridge well.. how much do you make monthly on average for this? I hate my job 😂 I’m willing to stretch thin a little
I only do it part time! So I only really do it when I have time & the conditions are ideal!
I only do it part time! So I only really do it when I have time & the conditions are ideal!
@@wesleyworrell1925 don’t switch. doordash is highly unpredicatable, meant as pocket money, and I’ve heard rumors about how gig work is ending
What city is he in
He was in Denver
Is there an age limit to apply to this job I’m 16 and trying to make money 😄
I’m seeing starting age is 18.
How to apply this job?
Download the Dasher App and proceed with the set up process.
Do you get short deliveries when you bike ?
Yes! But I think I get short deliveries while I’m in the city…
What kind of tax deduction can you do if you bike as doordash biker ? As a dasher that drives a car mileage is premium deduction
I don’t deduct anything since I’m on my bike. May be missing something but I’m not tryna catch a case!
If you do this for $3.50 you are hopeless.
So was this downtown?
Yes.
What the best time to deliver on the bike I been going out for lunch and it's been horrible
Dinner, right before it gets too dark. Better in the summer when the daylight lasts longer.
What kind of bike do you use bro? Is it manual or Electric one?
Manual. one speed! 😳
▪️
Nice SIaveMask, cattIe.
🟥
Keep some fatty snacks and make sure to get lots of sleep. Another thing I noticed was that, although the bike is slower, you're able to take many short cuts
Great video, I’ve been door dashing on a bike too, it can be hard but fun
Great video! keep them coming! always great to see your content.
😁😁😁. Dakota vs Everybody. Proud. 😁😁😁
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
I'd really like to try dashing as well in the future with my ebike. I take it out nearly all of my free days and if I'm earning some money simply delivering food and enjoying my ride time, then it'd be perfect.
Thanks and good to know they pay well, but I'm sure where you live is quite important for requests.
Wow! Using your bike for Door dash! My kind of video!
Now me personally everything is better on a bike except the car is faster than a bike but you do get fit in a bike, and you don’t waste gas money. My fear what if someone steals my shit 😂😂😂
Get a quick lock! Something you can put the code in real quick!
What kind of bag is that. I just signed up myself & this is a motivational video
It’s like an “insulated delivery bag” they had it on their shop at one point but looks like they are developing a new one that’s not out yet. But if you shop online using those words you can find some similar things, but unfortunately they are much plainer in style that this drip I got! Haha! 💅🏼🧊
You think this is motivational get a load of Tony Little. That lil’ homey will get you pumped.
That's awesome you DoorDash I've been doing it 3-4 years now but with a car and in Columbus, Ohio. You did great with that though cuz here you drive a lot more and it takes working 11-2 and 4-8 to make that hundred unless you get catering orders which are sweeeeeet. I did a cater order that went 2 miles from Chipotle the other day and made $140 on that order alone. Wish they were more frequent.
I do it all! 💅🏼
Seems like it.
How do you cope with living in Ohio? I’d probably end myself!! 💀
@@activatekruger446 I hate it. I'm not from here originally I'm actually from the west coast and I'm homesick every day. Unfortunately my husband and I have other employment as well that keeps us here at the moment 🙄
As a customer you cant take your tip back on doordash either like you can on uber.
AYEEE EVERYBODY IN THE CHAT THATS WATCHING THIS WITHOUT A CAR GIMME SOME LIKES
See...I wouldn't be upset about the "lack of return on my time" because you also got a workout by doing these orders which will make you more attractive and prolong your life. I would look at it like: I just got paid such and such for working out. 😃
23 an hour! more like in 2 hours! thererfore....you need to do at least 9 hours to get $100.00
Not spending any money on gas makes that pay more worthwhile
I work with an electric bicycle, I'm doing very well 😁
Hahaha awesome! I bet that’s fun!
How do you lock it while you take food and deliver to the customer's apartment door?
What range u get? Most ebikes i see have short range lmk cheers
NYC ? Which ebike you recommend?
How do you not get tired? I get so tired I mainly get on the bus and only bike when I have too.
I get very tired! Haha.
@@DakotaEthridge it doesn’t show 😂
Out of curiosity, how does door dash handle gas w/ car drivers? Just the owner's expense?
Yes - I think it’s part of being a “contracted out” worker. You technically work for yourself. I think if you were doing it right you would track it and expense it when filing your taxes.
How often do you get drinks in cardboard cups you have to deliver?? And how do you carry without spilling!? Nice vid cheers!
Maybe like 20% of the orders I get a drink like that, maybe less! And I have def spilled a drink in my bag…more than once. 🤫
Thanks
Uber eats and skip the dishes are harder to get accepted by. You apparently need to go get your finger printed and a copy showing you don't have a criminal record to send to them, and it costs money to do that.
On Uber Eats and Skip A Dishes apps it just asks for ID (Passport , copy of birth cerftificate or Driver's license) and something showing you are allowed to work in Canada ,where as they tell you after you ask them why you haven't been accepted about what else they want.
Where as door dash gets straight to the point. They ask for everything except finger printing and a copy of a criminal record.
Where did you put your bike for the ones where you went into the lobby? Did you lock your bike at all? I just signed up for this and I live in an inner city, my bike could be stolen in seconds. (and even going into the restaurant to pick up the food, I'm concerned about the bike...)
How do you deal with the drinka in the tote bag, without it falling wverywhere?
What vehicle mode do you use to receive orders. I haven't received an order since I've opened my bicycle account lmao
I was able to do a bike. It seems like it's an available option in some cities. I was located in Denver at the time.
I'm debating doing this on the weekend till I get my license then I can do it in a car
Do another one!
Where can I get a food bag backpack like yours thanks
What do you Recommend for a food delivery bookbag?
This is badass, literally just five mins ago i saw an ad on tiktok about using your bike to dash
I love it. I get paid to workout!
@@DakotaEthridgeii in canada never didvthis before is it hard to do
I just started last week on my bike… Getting back in the swing of things. I biked for Jimmy John’s over 10 years ago. I like this route better
Thanks for the video
Hi, I wanna do doordash with my e bike, but does the doordash require an insurance for the bike ? if it does, I have no any insurance. Do you have any advice ? thank you🙏
I’m not familiar if e bikes require insurance for something like this.
