Keeping Riders Safe: RTA’s New Standards for Older Delivery Bikes

The Dubai RTA recently adopted strict inspection standards to improve safety for all delivery bikes. This new initiative allows companies to extend the operational life of their motorcycles by 1 year. By meeting these technical requirements, businesses can renew their vehicle registrations for a 5th year of operation.

The measure reflects a commitment to enhancing safety while supporting the sustainable growth of the logistics sector. RTA officials designed these comprehensive standards to align with the best international road-safety practices.

New Inspection Standards for Delivery Bikes

This optional service is now available through designated technical inspection centers in Dubai. The process ensures that every motorcycle remains safe and suitable for demanding delivery activities on local roads. 

Khaled Mohammed Saleh stated that the delivery sector has experienced rapid growth over the past few years. This specific technical initiative helps companies reduce operating costs while increasing overall operational efficiency. 

The rising number of companies underscores the need for precise standards to protect both riders and users.

The RTA has also launched dedicated rest areas and stations to help reduce fatigue for all riders. These facilities include service areas and designated lanes that provide a much safer environment for two-wheeled vehicles. 

Authorities have introduced yellow number plates to identify vehicles registered for professional delivery services clearly. Every company must visit the official RTA website to identify which motorcycles qualify for this life extension. 

Following these simple steps ensures the emirate maintains a flexible, future-ready transport ecosystem for everyone.

• Corporate Login: Access the official RTA website using your registered company account or the UAE Pass.
• Service Selection: Choose the Delivery Bikes Operational Life Extension service from the available licensing menu options.
• Identify Vehicles: Select the specific motorcycles that have reached the maximum four-year operational age limit.
• Technical Inspection: Complete the required safety checks at authorized centers to verify the bike is fit for purpose.

Drivers must visit these centers during official working hours to ensure their vehicles meet the latest technical benchmarks. Make sure you bring your vehicle registration card and valid identification to avoid any delays during your visit.

Conclusion

The introduction of these new standards ensures that delivery bikes remain a safe part of the economy. By following a clear renewal mechanism, companies can continue operating while meeting the highest safety benchmarks.
