Dubai expanded its e-bike delivery service to seven additional areas. The move is intended to support delivery operations while reducing pressure from motorcycles and other vehicles on busy roads.

The details

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority expanded the coverage of its e-bike delivery service in July, adding seven areas to the network.

The service followed a trial that began in February 2026 in four areas. The expansion is intended to support delivery companies and riders with an alternative mode for short-distance deliveries in suitable parts of the emirate.

The initiative may help reduce the number of motorcycles and delivery vehicles using busy roads, while supporting more organised movement in selected neighbourhoods. Its practical impact will depend on the areas covered, the availability of charging and parking facilities, and the routes approved for e-bike use.

The announcement concerns a service expansion rather than a citywide replacement of motorcycle deliveries. Delivery riders and operators remain subject to applicable safety, licensing and operating requirements.
