Franchises available across the Western Cape and Garden Route. Additional areas may be considered by application.
Overview
An exciting opportunity to establish an area-exclusive scooter and motorised bicycle hire business within the growing mobility, tourism and commercial transport sectors.
This flexible owner-managed franchise model can be operated from a suitable home base, office or compact showroom with secure storage facilities. Its relatively small premises requirement assists in keeping fixed overheads manageable while allowing the franchisee to serve several customer markets.
Potential customers include tourists, holidaymakers, commuters, students, delivery operators, small businesses, accommodation establishments and corporate groups.
Franchise territories are currently available across the Western Cape and Garden Route, with additional South African areas considered by application and subject to availability.

Multiple Income Opportunities

Income and Return Potential
Based on the illustrative first-year financial model supplied by the franchisor, the business has the potential to achieve:
- Projected first-year turnover of approximately R931,000;
- Projected net profit before taxation of approximately R529,000;
- Average projected net profit of approximately R44,000 per month; and
- A potential annual return equivalent to approximately 123% of the initial franchise package investment.
If the projected performance is achieved, the initial franchise package investment could theoretically be recovered within approximately 10 months.
These projections are based on the franchisor’s proposed rental rates, fleet development and utilisation assumptions. Actual performance will depend on the selected territory, seasonal demand, achieved rental rates, fleet utilisation, operating expenses, working capital and the active involvement of the franchisee.
The projections are illustrative and do not constitute a guarantee of turnover, profitability or investment recovery.
