The market has grown in terms of vendors and in terms of customers as well. People have now started going on road trips with their friends and have started using their bike as a functional element and as a style statement.  This segment has emerged in recent years into a unique platform as we were the first in this segment to start the bike rental aggregator model. The market size of bike rental segment is very huge and the total Serviceable Available Market (SAM) is estimated to be around USD 4.6 billion. The market has been growing rapidly from when Wheelstreet began with only 200 bikes in Bengaluru to over 4000 today featuring on the platform.

Wheelstreet has also standardized the pricing towards helping the vendors in the long run. The vendors associated with Wheelstreet earn up to Rs 2 lacs a month. They use the app to track their bookings and manage their fleet, Moksha said. The fact that Wheelstreet is the first online bike rental aggregator entering a hitherto unorganized sector, played a major role. Along with this the technology that the company has incorporated into this model and the way they have dealt with potential loopholes has helped Wheelstreet scale in a short period of time.
