Parcel weight limits: e-bike or bike?
On Rylod an e-bike or cycle carries up to 15 kg, and a bike or scooter up to 20 kg. For anything heavier or too big to carry safely on a two-wheeler, book a goods vehicle instead.
The limits
| Vehicle | Weight | Good for | Starts at |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-bike / Cycle | Up to 15 kg | Documents and small packets, last-mile | ₹40 for the first km |
| Bike / Scooter | Up to 20 kg | Documents, food, small parcels | ₹40 for the first km |
Bike / Scooter parcels are open to booking in Karnataka. In Tamil Nadu, parcels go by e-bike or cycle.
Size matters as much as weight
A parcel has to ride safely on a two-wheeler. A light box can still be too big if it blocks the Ranger or will not stay steady. If in doubt, choose the bigger option.
- Close and tape the box, and wrap anything that can break.
- Seal liquids in a second bag.
- Write the receiver's name and phone number on the parcel.
Which one to choose
- E-bike or cycle: documents, keys, medicines, small packets. It is the cheaper option.
- Bike or scooter: heavier parcels up to 20 kg, like a few boxes of shop stock.
- Bigger than that: a goods vehicle. The smallest, the Electric Loader, carries up to 700 kg.
What you cannot send
Cash, jewellery or other valuables, anything illegal or dangerous like explosives or fireworks, and food or other perishables that are not packed properly. See the full list in what you can and cannot send.
