Dego Ride is a motorcycle ride e hailing launch for some time in Malaysia but was put on hold by transport ministry. There were a couple of issues raised with regard to safety of passengers.
1 Jan 2020, the transport ministry now allows motorcycle ride e hailing to be used.
The cost for the rides are RM3 for the 1st 3KM and RM1 for the subsequent KM. All rides has to be within 10KM radius. Some feedback from my friends on the pricing was it is quite expensive considering the minimum amount is all it needs to pump a full tank of a motorcycle. I however believe as long as the app is easy to use, riders able to deliver the service professionally, price wouldn't matter as the value is there.
Interestingly the app will assign rider based on your gender, means that for guys you will always get a guy rider and for ladies, you will be assigned a lady rider.
At the moment there is a lack of motorcycle drivers and I understand the company is actively recruiting at the moment. They already have a Dego Driver app for such purpose.
At the moment, Dego ride riders seems to be around KL City Centre.
If Dego is allowed to operate and is successful, it will open doors to other motorcycle ride sharing companies like Gojek and Grab. I've personally used Grab Motor before in Vietnam and very impressed by it. A motorcycle is much faster than a car to reach you and it also reaches the destination faster than a car.
I've yet to use Dego Ride at the moment as I'm not working in downtown KLCC. However I've used Grabbike services in Hanoi Vietnam which I made a video on it.
