Problem Statement
Urban Velo is an e-bike and bicycle rental app designed to help users travel conveniently between stations. However, a key challenge in its design is managing the integration of petrol bikes and addressing user concerns about fuel levels.
Specifically, users often face issues with low fuel when renting petrol-powered bikes, leading to confusion and frustration around additional fuel costs and the availability of refueling stations. This can result in a less seamless and user-friendly experience for those relying on petrol bikes for their journey.
Solutions
In the new update, Urban Velo will introduce a streamlined approach for renting petrol bikes. Users will now rent petrol bikes on a per-day pricing model, with a minimum fuel requirement to ensure they can reach the nearest petrol station. Before renting, users will be notified of the fuel level, ensuring they have enough to start their journey. Users will only need to pay the fixed per-day rental fee for the petrol bike, and will refuel as needed during the day. This solution eliminates confusion around fuel costs and ensures a smoother, more predictable rental experience.
