Target Deployment Zones
Jumeirah Village Circle
Est. 30,000–85,000 residents
Dubai's #1 area by sales and rental volume. Dense mid-tier residential towers, strong grocery and quick-commerce demand, compact geography ideal for e-bike radius delivery.
Pilot target: 8–12 riders
Dubai Marina
Est. 55,000–80,000 residents
High-income dense residential towers. Short delivery distances within Marina Walk catchment. E-bikes navigate faster than motorcycles in this zone.
Pilot target: 6–10 riders
Town Square
Est. 25,000–50,000 residents
Master-planned family community with rapidly growing resident base. High grocery and pharmacy delivery frequency. Low 3PL competition. Strong Phase 2 play.
Pilot target: 4–8 riders
02 — Platform Landscape
The Platforms
We Serve.
The UAE food and grocery delivery market is a $1.28B industry growing at 7.6% CAGR. All dominant platforms face the same bottleneck: reliable, compliant, professional riders at scale.
Talabat
Primary Platform — Priority Outreach
UAE market leader. IPO-listed DFM Dec 2024. Acquired InstaShop 2026. Active e-bike pilot MoU signed. ESG accountability from listing = green fleet demand. E-Bike Friendly
Noon Food / Noon Minutes
Secondary Platform — Growth Target
Expanding via Noon Minutes with ADNOC micro-hubs. High demand for dedicated fleet operators in residential zones. Expanding Fast
Careem Food
Secondary Platform — Volume Play
Discount-driven model. 33% of users leverage multiple services weekly. Sustained rider pool required. Volume Leader
Instashop + Keeta
Grocery Specialist + New Entrant
InstaShop integrated into Talabat network. Keeta (Meituan-backed) expanding in JLT, Marina, JVC — all EPC target zones. Best E-Bike Fit

03 — E-Bike Fleet & Policy

Regulatory & Policy Tailwinds
Six converging forces making now the right moment.
Dubai Clean Energy
Strategy 2050
Strategy 2050
UAE Net Zero 2050 mandates 100% clean energy by 2050. RTA has converted 50% of Dubai's taxi fleet to hybrid, targeting full EV by 2027. Delivery fleets are the logical next category.
RTA · 2026
E-Bike Framework
E-Bike Framework
RTA established a clear e-bike legal framework. Corporate delivery e-bikes now require gold Code-9 front plates — formalising the category and favouring organised operators over informal freelancers.
Talabat × Motoboy
MoU
MoU
Talabat signed an MoU with Motoboy to pilot electric delivery bikes in Dubai — UAE's first formal platform-to-operator e-bike agreement. Talabat's IPO accelerates ESG accountability.
UAE Quick Commerce
Growth
Growth
Market growing from $1.28B to $1.86B by 2029 at 7.6% CAGR. Every new dark store and micro-hub requires riders to service it. Platform expansion = direct rider demand.
UAE E-Bike Market
CAGR 5.89%
CAGR 5.89%
UAE E-Bike market growing at 5.89% CAGR through 2030 (Mordor Intelligence). Fewer than 5% of delivery fleet vehicles are currently electric — massive white space for a vertically integrated operator.
04 — Business Model
Two Companies.
One Machine.
Asset ownership is separated from operations. Investors fund hard assets with predictable returns. The founder retains full operational control. Structural alignment — not entanglement.
Company A
EPC Delivery LLC
The operational engine. Manages every rider, every contract, every platform relationship. Revenue flows in from delivery platforms. Costs flow to riders and Company B.
- Delivery platform contracts (Talabat, Noon, Careem, Instashop, Keeta)
- Rider recruitment via Euro People Connect pipeline
- Visa processing, Emirates ID, MOHRE compliance
- Payroll, incentives, performance management
- Zone management, SLA monitoring, daily ops
- Real-time fleet tracking via proprietary app
Investor PositionNo investor equity in Company A. Founder retains 100% operational control.
Company B
EPCO Assets LLC
The asset vehicle. Owns, imports, and maintains the EPCO e-bike fleet. Leases to Company A at a fixed monthly rate. Can also lease to third parties — creating revenue independence.
- Import EPCO X1 and X2 e-bikes from China supplier
- Own and register all bike assets in UAE
- Fixed monthly lease to Company A: AED 600/bike
- Third-party lease capability (additional revenue)
- Preventive maintenance programme
- Battery lifecycle and reserve fund management
Investor PositionInvestor capital funds Company B. Returns via profit share (1.8×–2.4×). Quarterly distributions from Month 6.
← AED 600 / bike / month fixed lease — Company A pays Company B →

Anticipated Questions — Answered Directly
Q: You have no signed platform contracts. What if a platform says no?
The model is platform-agnostic. Riders are the core asset. If Platform A declines, riders redeploy to B or C within 48 hours. Five active platforms now operate in JVC and Marina. Fleet size is right-sized to match contracts as they close — not pre-funded in excess of demand. Euro People Connect's pipeline absorbs fluctuation.
Q: EPC Delivery is a new entity with no UAE delivery track record.
Euro People Connect has two years of active operations in Dubai, 1,000+ workers placed directly, and signed HR agency agreements with 12 countries. EPC Delivery is a vertical extension of an existing, operating company. Recruitment, compliance, and visa infrastructure is already running. Delivery is the new product line, not the foundation.
Q: Why invest in Company B with no equity in Company A?
Company B owns hard assets — e-bikes — that retain value and can be liquidated or redeployed to third-party lessees if Company A underperforms. The lease structure creates alignment: Company A cannot operate without Company B's bikes. If operations disappoint, bikes are redirected. Investor capital is never stranded in a service business.
