Roadside assistance

Understand what roadside assistance covers, how towing works, and how to contact support quickly during a scooter breakdown.

Roadside assistance supports you during genuine mechanical breakdowns with towing up to 15 km and emergency guidance. Flat tyres, running out of fuel, lost keys, accidental damage, and towing beyond 15 km are not covered.

Overview

Breakdowns can happen, even with well-maintained scooters. Roadside assistance helps you during your rental if you experience a genuine mechanical fault that is not caused by rider damage or misuse.

Use roadside assistance when the scooter has a mechanical issue that makes it unsafe or impossible to ride, and you need support or a tow to a mechanic or approved workshop.

What is covered

Roadside assistance covers genuine mechanical breakdowns that are not caused by rider damage or misuse.

  • Towing up to 15 km from the incident location to the nearest mechanic or approved workshop at no cost for a genuine mechanical fault
  • Mechanical breakdowns that are not caused by rider damage or misuse
  • Emergency support guidance while you wait, including safety advice and next steps

You do not pay extra for covered towing or support within the 15 km limit.

What is not covered

Roadside assistance does not cover issues caused by normal wear items, rider error, or situations that are part of routine maintenance or refuelling.

  • Flat tyres
  • Running out of fuel
  • Lost or stolen keys
  • Accidental damage
  • Towing beyond 15 km from the incident location (charged to the rider at standard towing rates)

If you have a flat tyre or similar issue, see the related docs at the bottom of this page for what to do next.

Important

Towing beyond 15 km from the incident location is not included. You pay for any extra distance at standard towing rates.

How to request roadside assistance

Contact support as soon as it is safe to stop the scooter and you have moved to a safe location off the road.

Move to a safe place and stay with the scooter

Make sure you and the scooter are in a safe position away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights if available and wait in a safe spot nearby.

Gather your details

Note your exact location, a short description of the issue, and your rental details, including the scooter ID, your name, and your best contact number.

Contact support via WhatsApp for the fastest response

Send a WhatsApp message to our support team with your location, the issue, and your rental details. WhatsApp is the primary and fastest way to reach roadside assistance.

Use email only if WhatsApp is not available

If you cannot use WhatsApp, email the same details to support. Email responses are slower than WhatsApp, especially during busy periods.

Wait safely and follow guidance

Stay with the scooter in a safe place and do not attempt repairs unless support instructs you. Our team will provide guidance and, if needed, arrange towing.

Response time for roadside assistance typically ranges from around 30 minutes up to 4 hours during busy periods, depending on your location and tow truck availability.

Tips to avoid breakdowns

Reduce the chance of needing roadside assistance by keeping the scooter in good condition and avoiding easily preventable issues.

  • Do weekly checks of your scooter
  • Keep the fuel topped up and avoid running low
  • Check tyre pressure weekly and keep it within the recommended range

These simple checks help prevent avoidable problems like running out of fuel or riding on under-inflated tyres, which are not covered by roadside assistance.
