With more than 985 million acres of public land and nearly 500,000 miles of trails in the United States, the adventure opportunities are endless for riders when they choose Riders Share to help them explore country. The Riders Share rental service is usually much more affordable than renting from outfitters or other retailers, making consumers’ adventure and travel plans much more feasible and reasonable.

“We are really excited to be able to offer adventure and dual-sport motorcycle rentals on the platform, especially since the adventure motorcycle market is one of the fastest growing segments,” said Guillermo Cornejo, CEO of Riders Share and an avid motorcyclist. “There is something uniquely American about getting out on a motorcycle and exploring nature, so we are happy to help make it more attainable for users across the country.”

Riders Share is answering the call of consumers by adding the adventure category to the site, which includes any street-legal motorcycle capable of off-road travel. Following the Covid spike in off-roading, many dealers and regional outfitters simply don’t have the inventory to be able to offer rental services. On average, Riders Share is 50% less expensive than renting from dealerships and outfitters when they do have inventory or options available.

Recognized as an industry-leader in terms of vehicle selection, marketplace members, and low cost, Riders Share is establishing itself as the go-to source for adventure and dual-sport riders across the country and continuing to help more motorcyclist get outdoors and explore.

Riders Share, the largest motorcycle sharing marketplace, has announced that bikers can now pay a monthly subscription for discounted rides across the motorcycle rental marketplace. The Rider Pass subscription pricing plan is an industry-first service for peer-to-peer rentals designed to spur growth and motorcycle ridership as the economy rebounds.

• Rider Pass subscription service provides 35% discount for rides booked on Riders Share marketplace for a $24 monthly fee
• Service includes free motorcycle rental delivery up to $50
• Perfect for trying multiple bikes, for frequent travelers and for riders who can’t commit to a single motorcycle

Launched in 2018 by CEO and avid motorcyclist Guillermo Cornejo, Riders Share has powered over 100,000 registered users in its motorcycle rental community, and over 15,000 people have shared their motorcycle on the platform. The company was part of Techstars Los Angeles ’19, and is backed by Texas-based LiveOak Venture Partners and other institutional investors.

The average price for renting a motorcycle on Riders Share is set by the owners of the bike and is typically around $100 a day including insurance — much more affordable than other motorcycle rental alternatives. Now, with the Rider Pass subscription, users will receive an additional 35% off the total price in exchange for a monthly rate of $24.

“We believe subscriptions are key to continued growth in peer-to-peer rentals,” said Cornejo. “There’s an entire market of twenty million plus riders who are bikeless; our goal with subscription services is to provide an economic re-entry point to stimulate responsible ridership across the country.”

Motorcycles are notoriously underutilized in the U.S. On average, motorcycles are used four times less often than cars, which has a significant effect on the total cost of a motorcycle trip. In fact, for the large number of motorcyclists that ride under 40 days per year, each trip requires an average of $190 in ownership costs.

“Peer-to-peer rentals typically cost up to 70% less than brick-and-mortar motorcycle rentals. With our new subscription offering, we’re now able to further reduce this cost, giving people that can’t commit to motorcycle ownership a viable alternative,” said Cornejo.

Riders Share has been recognized as an industry-leader in terms of vehicle selection, marketplace members and low cost. While COVID made a significant impact on travel in general, Riders Share is beginning to see new records in transactions.

“Our mission is to encourage safe motorcycling by making it more affordable,” said Cornejo. “We felt the time was right to further diversify our pricing model and help people create new mobility habits as our cities start moving again.”

The Rider Pass subscription model is only available for riders over the age of 25 and with a FICO score over 700. Free delivery is included up to $50. The base monthly subscription price is $24 with a 12-month term, or $22 per month if prepaid in advance.
