Yes, motorbikes really do use less fuel compared to other motor vehicles. However, this does mean that they have less range compared to heavier vehicles.

If you’re not keeping your motorbike maintained or driving aggressively (speeding, harsh braking and excessive idling), you’re going to end up using way more fuel with your motorbike.

You can track your delivery bike drivers with Cartrack’s delivery management system. This system will help you keep track of your delivery drivers every step of the way. Our system will give you real-time tracking and instant updates on the status of all your drivers and their deliveries.

With Cartrack’s MiFleet cost management software, you can easily spot any fuel irregularities that link to fuel theft. Additionally, you can install locks or tamper-resistant clamps on your fuel tanks.

Cartrack has a few tracking solutions for motorbikes; these are:

• BikeWatch: A virtual car guard that sends you an alert if your bike is tampered with.
• BikeTrack: A discreetly placed GPS bike tracking device so you can keep track of your bike no matter where you are.
• SVR: Professional motorbike recovery from our on-the-ground and in-the-air recovery teams.

If you have a legitimate tracking device, like the one from Cartrack, that’s been installed professionally, it shouldn't drain your motorbike’s battery.

The motorbikes that won’t be fuel-efficient are your heavy and high-performing cruisers, adventure bikes, and superbikes. It’s also important to note that driving behaviour will directly affect the fuel efficiency of any bike.
