We are committed to connecting Gurugram with safe, reliable, and affordable transportation options. Our bike sharing product, UberMOTO, that has seen tremendous positive response, makes it compulsory for both the rider and driver to wear a helmet before the start of a trip. With the help of this partnership we aim to build awareness about motorbike safety. We are excited to roll out this on demand in partnership with Steelbird, which will contribute in the reduction of fatalities caused by road accidents.

Steelbird Helmets is a pioneer in the field of quality helmets which provides extra safety features surpassing the standards set up by the BIS for ISI Helmets. As a leading manufacturer of ISI helmets, it’s our social responsibility to create awareness amongst two-wheeler riders. We want that people give first priority to their safety especially young girls & boys. Riding with a ISI helmet on, not only protects you but also increases the confidence with which you ride.
