    love the PCX! Wanted one of those but ended up getting an ADV because I found a used one nearby. Still wish I had the PCX so bad! So sporty and actually faster than the adv too

      Is it? I heard the adv was faster. Your rear wheel is smaller than the front? How does that handle?

      @@motardsquid I'm sure they are fairly comparable, especially the current models. In fact, I think they share the same engine now, but up until the recent models, the PCX has a slightly larger displacement engine than the ADV. No clue why lol
      The ADV handles great and has great suspension but tbh I think the PCX wins out if you do most of your riding on paved roads. The PCX probably handles even better on the streets

    I do this on a honda cb125 and i accept jobs based on what i expect to be paid hourly. Eg 25-30 per hour. Therefore if its 15 minutes it needs to be $7.50 minimum. The fuel is almost nothing. Do your own servicing

    Hiring outside companies to perform tasks formerly done by employees is the latest way for corporations to cut their costs of doing business and pass the expense onto someone else - they don't pay health benefits, fica, workmen's compensation insurance, etc. Self-employment is great, except you're on your own out there. Companies such as the food delivery giants like private contractors because that's not an expense for them. - It's your problem and also must be taken into consideration. Being able to pay for medical attention when needed is a BIG deal. (especially with the inherent dangers of two wheeled deliveries)

      Absolutely on point. Things have gotten convenient, but the workers are are paying for it. The more i look for work the more i realize even small companies are using this strategy.

    I like doing gig economy in addition to my seasonal jobs because I can have a lot of time off that way but work for like 12 hours a day when I feel like making more money. I think I’m going to get a scooter because my car doesn’t get great gas mileage. I’ve been doing Walmart spark because it’s less miles and makes more sense. I think door dash is more fun though.

      @@nicholasolivas317 basically you go to Walmart and either shop for people or pickup pre packaged deliveries and drop them off in a route like Amazon flex. I personally like the shopping side of it because I know my local stores, but I have a friend who only does the other orders.

    DoorDash doesn’t use tips??? So when I tip drivers on DoorDash for my food where does that money go to?

    Hey Squid, I'm 3 weeks into Door Dash on my 49cc scooter. I have the pakir Bag as well. Can you do a video on how you are setting up the rack and bag to the scooter itself. My C3 has the OG rack so I can add my bag no problem there. I was just wondering how much of a hassle to get the rack secured on diff scoots.
    Im cominf from Pizza delivery. Drinks and soup are biggest pain in the butt right now. Id say 95% of my orders have drinks..

      Interesting loose drinks in my area is like less then 5 percent. The rest are bagged! I hate drinks. Had a few spills.

      I am interested in delivery on my bike. I thought about issues of liquids. I thought to get either those cardboard cup holders from a restaurant or even just a regular to large cup holder. Just sharing ideas.

    You always tell it like it is. So many of the other youtubers doing food delivery videos are all clickbait. Either they prey on the fears of riders talking about how bad it is… or they are the other extreme saying how you can make $400 to $500 a day! 😂 Mostly they make their money with youtube not food delivery, so of course they’re not gonna be honest. It’s all sensationalized. Your videos are refreshing because you’re actually a rider & you realistically show the pros & cons from your own experience. I’m about to buy a used Honda PCX & do food delivery as a side hustle here in NY on weeknights after my regular job installing solar panels, and on the weekends. Uber Eats accepted me right away. I am still waiting to be accepted for Doordash & Grub Hub. What i like about Uber Eats, is that you can go on whenever you want & go wherever you want. From what I hear about DD & GH is that you have to “schedule” your time in advance, so you can’t be spontaneous…and you also have to stay within a certain area. Anyway, I enjoy your videos for your honesty. Looking forward to making my own videos! I’m lucky, because like you, I am in a good area(New York). I don’t know how much I’ll make yet, but it’ll be fun just getting paid to ride my scooter. 🛵 💨

    Motorcycles require insurance which adds to costs. Scooters…..are scooters.

    I'm from Denmark and I love doing food delivery on my scooter. I do it as a side hustle, I make music and day trade.
    We should focus on freedom and money every day as the highest priority. Keep the expenses low and invest your money in a side hustle. Probably not day trading, because it is super hard.

    I did deliveries way back when postmates was a new thing. I was making around $60/Hour on weekends. I still get videos recommended about it lol. It's much more difficult to earn a livable wage on there.
