After the launch of motorcycle ride share service Dego Ride on Jan 1, Grab Bike has now entered the Malaysian market with GrabBike with the service available in the KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Pudu and Chow Kit areas. From the Grab app, GrabBike services start with a base charge of RM3.70 for rides under 3 km, with an addition 30 sen service charge.
Every subsequent kilometre after the initial 3 km will be charged at 66 sen per kilometre up to a maximum of 5 kilometres. Every additional kilometre travelled after that will be charged at RM1 per kilometre with GrabBike reserving the right to charge Surge pricing during periods of high demand.
A cancellation fee of RM2 will be charged should the user change his or her mind about the ride or if the rider waited more than two minutes for pick up. GrabBike also provides the option to pair female passengers with female riders.
Earlier this week, Dego Ride commenced motorcycle ride sharing covering Putrajaya to Shah Alam with some 700 registered service riders. Dego Ride is priced at RM3 for the first three kilometre ride and RM1 every kilometre after that.

Wow !!! EXPENSIVE ! Gojek in Indonesia is MUCH ,,,,MUCH cheaper !!!Rm 1.50 for 3km.
This is a good move, but, this is just one of the ways in becoming more like a less-developed countries, where they use this kind of service widely. In developed countries, public transport is the choice for most people and we should also find ways in having more efficient public transport in Malaysia. After all, this is just going to make our traffic getting havoc.
Next to be sacked is Loke as MOT when accident rates shoots up tremendously. Or will it be Saddiq as Youth Ministar since it was his half-brained idea to legalise bike ride-sharing? Will be interesting to see which one or perhaps both goes no? hmmm…
with such minimal savings by taking grabbike, it is better to take grabcar. after all it is safer and more comfortable.
This is very good because it gives the majority some jobs to do. Since they are good for Food Panda, Grab Food, Dah Makan delivery boys, now, more jobs for them.
I am happy with this move.
“GrabBike also provides the option to pair female passengers with female riders.”

You better watch out, you better not cry, grab snatch is coming to town, grab snatch all your precious metal jewelry and bag…
This service is bad because it will lead to temptations. Already we have a lot of problems with this issues, this will lead further problems.
We all know those who use this service cannot control themselves…..
If this happens, more of the kutus will be on the road. Already now, the abang abangs and Mat Rempit using Federal Highway fast lane and not using the bike lanes. So many accidents happen daily with motorbikes on Federal Highway
With this coming about, sure more accidents. When will the Mat Rempits ever learn?
Ridiculous, RM1/km same rate as grab car? What make u think that ppl will take bike over car? Do u know car’s price and fc are almost 10 times to bike?
i tot our Malaysia country very sensitive.. can pakai ke?
Hopefully Mohan can give us a review on GrabBike!
Congratulation to vincent Tan..
He he he he… yes thank you.. he he he he
This job is very suitable for people just coming out from MRSM. Infact, it is a good career path.
And grab will be billionaire with e hauling car, ehailing bike and food delivery services.
Mana boleh buat macam ini? Tak hormat orang lah. Dekat dekat tak boleh lah
Well done
First, the government needs to fix Grab. An unethical predatory exploitative company run by morally bankrupt people intent on milking drivers and riders by working them to death and fleecing customers. Grab drivers have died on the job as the company has no concern on their safety. They don’t earn enough to feed their families. Yet, the owners drink champagne in New York with their billion dollar funders. What an embarrassment to humankind that these people exist in the modern world, willing to live purely on the blood and sweat of exploiting others.
And unfortunately i need to live with this morally bankrupt company as i book Grab car every other day, being a platinum user, at least I’m supporting the drivers with additional tips.
Good luck and all the best.
hopefully it solves the last mile connectivity problem without adding other problems. not every office space is within walking distance to a rail system.
