Your kit

Everything you need, on us.

Collected at your orientation at the PikaBox rider hub in Westlands. Yours to keep after 100 drops.

Insulated bag

Two compartments, hot and cold. Keeps a stew hot for 45 minutes.

Helmet & vest

Certified helmet and a reflective PikaBox vest for night rides.

Accident cover

Insured from the moment you go online, including medical and income.

Phone mount

Waterproof, so you can see the route without stopping.
Handover codes

Two codes. No guessing.

At a home cook’s gate, she shows you her code before she hands over the bag. At the door, the customer reads you theirs. Every handover is confirmed, so nothing is ever “lost”.
You collect at the gate. You never go into a cook’s home.
Can’t reach someone? Call them through the app, numbers stay private.
Wrong code? Don’t hand it over. Support decides, you still get paid.

Safety

Get home safe, every night.

SOS in the app
Our safety team answers in under two minutes and shares your live location with your contact.
Safer night routes
After 9 pm, routes prefer lit main roads, even if it’s a few minutes longer. You’re paid for the distance.
Say no, no penalty
Feel unsafe about a drop? Decline it. It never counts against your rating or your bonus.
Heavy rain pause
When the rain is dangerous, we pause new orders in your zone and pay you a waiting rate.
Your schedule

Your shifts, your call.

Booked shifts get first pick of orders and a guaranteed minimum. Free time? Go online whenever you like.

Riders

Why they ride with us.

“

I do lunch and supper on weekdays and I’m at my daughter’s football on Saturday. I couldn’t do that anywhere else.

The codes are everything. Nobody accuses you of anything. The gate shows the code, the door shows the code, done.

One rainy night my bike slipped. I pressed SOS and someone called me in a minute. They covered the hospital and my missed days.

Do I need my own motorbike?

Not necessarily. We partner with two e-bike companies that rent to PikaBox riders by the week, with charging hubs in Westlands and Kilimani.

How fast can I start?

Usually three days: apply, upload documents, come to Saturday orientation, and you can ride that evening.

What if food spills?

Report it with a photo. If the bag was closed properly, it’s never your cost.

Can I ride for other apps too?

Yes. You’re independent.
