Delivery Riders Face a Different Level of Risk
Delivery riders have become part of the daily rhythm of modern cities. They move food, groceries, medicine, and essential items through busy streets, often during peak traffic, bad weather, low-light conditions, and tight delivery windows.
But behind that convenience is a serious safety concern. Delivery riders using e-bikes, scooters, bicycles, and other micro-mobility devices often face higher exposure to road hazards, vehicle traffic, time pressure, and unpredictable riding conditions.
The Mantis Motion Labs Delivery Rider Survey is designed to better understand those risks.
Why Delivery Rider Feedback Matters
Delivery riders often spend more time on the road than casual riders. They may ride longer distances, make frequent stops, navigate unfamiliar streets, ride at night, and make safety decisions under pressure.
That experience is valuable.
By sharing what delivery work is actually like from the rider’s perspective, you can help identify common hazards, equipment needs, visibility challenges, and safety gaps that deserve more attention.
What We Want to Learn
Mantis Motion Labs wants to better understand the conditions delivery riders face, including traffic interaction, route pressure, road quality, vehicle blind spots, parking and pickup/drop-off issues, night visibility, weather exposure, app pressure, safety equipment, and near-miss or crash experiences.
This information can help support future safety research, product development, and rider-focused awareness efforts.
Built Around the Rider’s Reality
Delivery riders are not just moving through traffic. They are working in it.
Mantis Motion Labs believes that safety solutions should be designed around the real conditions riders face, not assumptions made from a distance.
