On the 26th of June 2023, the first-ever Motul Pit Stop was launched at Biker's Warehouse just off Malibongwe Drive in Northriding, Johannesburg.

This is the flagship workshop in what is planned to become a whole series of workshops tailored especially to the requirements of delivery bike riders.

This specially designed service space is open to any commercial delivery rider, no matter which company or app they work for and provides a safe, secure and geared-up workshop area where the riders themselves can carry out minor services or repairs on their motorcycles.

Delivery riders don't need to book, and with two service bays available, they can drop into the Motul Pit Stop between deliveries. Riders will be able to borrow tools from Biker's Warehouse free of charge, and get advice and expertise from the in-store sales team.

The idea for the initiative came about when we noticed delivery bike riders servicing their motorcycles on the pavement outside the store, commented Kerry Puzey of Biker's Warehouse.

By partnering with Motul, we have found a way to give back and support the delivery motorcycle community, she added.

With the launch of the first-ever Motul Pit Stop at Biker's Warehouse, riders will have free access to a workshop space geared to be able to do minor services and repairs including tyre changes, clutch adjustments, chain maintenance and oil changes. Plus, we are providing sumps so that the used oil will get disposed of responsibly as part of our alignment to the ROSE Foundation, a used oil collection and recycling non-profit organisation, explained Mercia Jansen of Motul South Africa.

Delivery riders will also be able to purchase spares and the full range of Motul premium engine lubricants and motorcycle care products at Biker's Warehouse with a loyalty scheme, that lets them save money over time. Judging from the enthusiastic response of the riders who attended the launch, there is a real demand for this kind of service space.

This is a great initiative and we are happy to have access to the Pit Stop for our repairs. I already use Motul 5100 10W-40 4T and believe this is the reason why in four years of riding my bike, I have never had to open the engine, commented Mr D delivery bike rider Kuda Chigumba.

It's a great product and I would recommend it to my fellow riders. I have learnt that using good quality engine oils can keep your engine going for longer and it saves me on petrol and repairs, he added.

The Motul Pit Stop at Biker's Warehouse can be found at 1 Aureole Ave, Northgate (just off Malibongwe) and is open 6 days a week, Monday to Friday from 7.30am - 5pm and on Saturday from 8am - 2pm. For more details about the venue, go to https://bikerswarehouse.co.za/
