Final Thoughts
Now you understand the price ranges, do well to negotiate with the supplier for better rates and if you're new, work with a logistics startup service like TheRideHub for full packages on delivery bikes rather than setting it up yourself.If you'd like to do it yourself, look for a local supplier near you, in Bayelsa there's a bike depot at Onopa junction by town, in Lagos Island and mainland—at major markets and auto depots, etc.
If you’re buying fairly used, get a mechanic to check the engine first, that's the most important thing.
