eBikes Enhances Delivery Service with Teletrac

Fort Lauderdale-based eBikes on Demand, an electronic bike rental company, needed a way to ensure that their drivers were staying on task and within designated driving areas.

That’s when Lisa Marie, managing partner for eBikes on Demand, decided to install Teletrac’s Fleet Director on each of the company’s delivery vans.

“There isn’t anything that the system can’t do,” Marie said. “We can monitor every single activity our drivers perform with our work vans and we can create landmarks for the most visited places.”

The vans are sent out each day to deliver rental bikes to a collection of hotels in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area. This unique concierge service allows people who rent the electronic bikes to explore the city without having to rent a taxi to get to the eBikes on Demand store. At the end of the day, the vans are dispatched once more and pick up the bikes.

These eco-friendly bike tours have grown in popularity among people visiting Fort Lauderdale. The ability to travel up to 40 miles without needing to pedal makes it ideal for tourists who don’t want to rent a vehicle during their stay. And because the bikes do not require any special license or registration, they have become perfect for daytrips, exploring the area and family outings.

But with the growing reputation of the fantastic service and eco-friendly traveling ability also came the need to track the vehicles responsible for delivering and collecting the electronic bikes on a daily basis.

Keeping an eye on a high volume of these electronic bikes was a concern for the company, and using Teletrac’s Fleet Director software has helped resolve many of these issues.

“I searched many companies and this is definitely the one to beat,” Marie said. “[We’re] so glad we made this purchase.”
