Despite all preconceptions, the number of women riding motorbikes in Egypt is steadily increasing, which pushed the two sisters, Menna and Nouran Farouk to launch a new online platform called Dosy Bike that teaches women how to ride scooters around the clock.
The major motivation for women riding motorbikes and scooters on city streets is to navigate hectic traffic, especially during rush hour, and to avoid rising fuel costs. Riding a scooter might also help to reduce the country’s high pollution
Years after the platform’s beginning, women in Egypt keep facing stereotypes whenever they attempt to acquire this skill. Despite the misconceptions, a growing number of Egyptian women are riding motorcycles. The founding siblings, as well as riders and instructors in Egypt, agree that society’s identification of masculine and femininity to modes of transportation is ludicrous and unacceptable.
Women are learning a lot about safety with Dosy Bike, which is crucial when it comes to becoming a competent rider. They also learn how to ride the bike fast and safely, how to use the emergency brake, how to handle sharp curves, clutch control, slow riding, and how to react to traffic signals.
Not only will this empower women, but it will also enable individuals who wish to work after their school to offer delivery services for restaurants, coffee shops, and other businesses using their scooters and motorbikes.
