*Earnings estimates are based on location and completing package deliveries across an estimated length of time (referred to as a block), completed while riding an e-bike. Deliveries are scheduled so that they can be safely completed within the allocated block time, taking into account factors such as weather and road conditions. However, the actual time taken per delivery may vary (because it could, occasionally, take less or more time than expected) so the earnings per hour may vary.
