Thanks for sharing your bike setup! :)

[@derekbystander]

An additional advice aside from hooking the drink it'll be good to place the drink at corner and food and use divider to firm it so it won't shake around cheers!

[@Jefilmsg]

Good advice! Thanks for sharing! I too always hook it at the corner. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use the divider. Haha appreciate your advice for everybody! :)

[@mishieeru20]

Thanks for sharing on the setup! 😊 really give a good headstart for new rider. Don’t mind if can share another vid on how to install the grab bag on the bicycle rack as well 😊

[@Jefilmsg]

No problem! Will definitely consider your suggestion! Have a great day and ride safe!

Hi.. nice bike setup there, are you still working grab food delivery now? If not consider selling your bike?😊

[@Jefilmsg]

Currently no leh.. cuz for my side very hard to do delivery. you want to buy is it? hahaha

[@Singapore4148]

@@Jefilmsg oh ok, wer you stay? I heard food delivery not so good now

[@Jefilmsg]

@@Singapore4148 just kidding, don't buy mine. Depends on your location i think? Have seen some riders making good income!

Hi bro thanks for the setup video. I was thinking of getting the riverside 100 as well. How is the bike so far when riding for delivery and also for leisure riding/occasional long rides

[@Jefilmsg]

Hi SCJJ! So far i really like the bike. The bike feels lighter than i thought for this price. But with all the accessories, it gets a little heavy but managable for me. You should go decathlon and try it out yourself to have a feel! This bike is definitely for leisure/moderate riding.

[@scjj8839]

[@exnify9416]

what is the green hook u using to secure the grab food bag? The one u place at the bag’s ring Where to buy?

[@exnify9416]

I’m a first time delivery rider who just going to start Grabfood in no time soon. Will it be ok to have a chat with you on telegram? So I could ask you questions In terms of bicycle set up etc

[@Jefilmsg]

Hi, the green hook came with the grabfood bag when I purchased it. If you don't have it, you might be able to find one at those shops that sell the household items. :)

Hi I’m considering to join as grab rider. Are you doing full time as a rider?

[@Jefilmsg]

Nowadays it is very hard to do grab deliveries due to the overwhelming number of riders and low number of orders. It's basically a waiting game now. So you might want to reconsider if you really want to become one.

[@nickabdulaziz8004]

wait is this Malaysia?

[@YuhaoTan23]

Wow total you spend $497.23 then how you earn it back by doing food delivery only, do you have a full time job instead of working GrabFood

[@Jefilmsg]

It's not that hard to earn it back. Depending on how long you do, and where you are doing grab delivery. Haha

[@YuhaoTan23]

@@Jefilmsg oh yeah respect for those food delivery riders that work long hours but i can't cause i still don't have bicycle rack and bag i haven't buy yet

[@ridewithmyke1892]

Great video... I want to start soon.. any advice ..thank you

[@Jefilmsg]

Few tips (from my personal experience) - if you intend to do full time/long hours, get a PAB. It really helps you to be less tired. - if you don't want grab to make you deliver further and further from your starting point, you can always turn off the "power" button/offline mode so you won't receive any more orders temporary. Turn it back on once you return to your "station" to receive orders again. -the gem can only be unlock if you hit the minimum quota, so don't be too happy if you got your first gem. -Carabiner is your best friends. Get a few of it. -don't deliver during heavy downpour. You don't want to risk falling down injuring yourself, spilling customer's food , fall sick. -use google map. -get a bike stand that can make your bike straight (unlike mine), if not when orders get too heavy, your bike might topple. Like this kind: shopee.sg/product/13727679/5197062814?smtt=0.356166138-1661763782.9 -prepare rainy day suits: raincoat & pants. -always tie your orders well and try to secure them as much as possible. Best if they don't even move when you turn your bike or breaking it -most importantly, don't spill customer's food.

@@Jefilmsg wow thank you so much... Awesome advice... Yup I will use a Eco drive ebike...really good advice about the turning off the app and turning on when I reach my usual spot . Cos I heard of riders getting sent further and further ..will bear that in mind... Thx bro

[@wenxuanlee-hr8do]

@@ridewithmyke1892hi bro, i wanna start grabfood soon, but i scared to ride pab on road with cars, any advice?

[@YuhaoTan23]

Wow for budget options so much worth it than the previous bike setup tho, cost you $249.08 cents

[@Jefilmsg]

It has its pros and cons for sure. Like I have excluded the bag rack, helmet, front & back lights. Without a bag rack it means that you will have to carry the bag the whole time. So unless you are doing it for a short while / part time, it might be physically draining. Helmet also for safety purposes of course. And without the front & back lights, it means you probably can only do day delivery, if not you probably endanger yourself as well as the people around. I would say anything more is just for safety and comfort. :)

[@YuhaoTan23]

@@Jefilmsg oh i see but is it worth it

[@YuhaoTan23]

@@Jefilmsg i know bicycle rack is a must have for food delivery and lights too

[@Jefilmsg]

@@YuhaoTan23 as compared to ebike that already cost 1-2k. Haha.. cycling is really physically draining.. so i'll say everything is worth it.. hahaha Unless you end up spending more than getting an ebike. Then i'll say no.
