[dropcap]G[/dropcap]et ready for fun and awesome rides on the likes of Harleys, Ducatis, Kawasakis and others, as Uber is tying up with Bengaluru-based bike rental startup Wicked Ride. The tie-up would offer the rental of premium motorcycles, on a limited basis in up to 12 locations, including Bangalore and Mysore.
The technology-based taxi cab aggregator will offer the ‘Uber Wicked Ride’ service through its dashboard during limited windows in different cities, which started with Bengaluru on May 14th.
This promotional activity with Uber was Wicked Ride’s second major venture after the biking startup had tied up with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited ( BMRCL ) to offer feeder services to the metro.
The customers will be charged nothing during the initial promo phase. On booking a bike through the Uber app, a Wicked Ride representative will turn up with the bike to the user’s desired pick-up point.
Wicked Ride is present in 12 cities, and sees up to 3000 hits on their website daily with over 1500 monthly transactions.
