About 30% of DoorDash deliveries in San Diego used two-wheeled vehicles (bikes, e-bikes, scooters, etc.) last year, per the company's new report shared first with Axios.
That's lower than about a dozen other major U.S. cities.
Why it matters: Bikes, scooters and such are typically cleaner and quieter than cars — plus they don't contribute as much to road congestion.
They also offer a lower cost of entry for people trying to earn a living or side-cash through gig work.
The big picture: The number of DoorDash deliveries using two-wheeled vehicles (bikes, e-bikes, scooters, etc.) in the U.S. and Canada grew nearly four times faster than those using cars between 2024 and 2025, per the company's report.
San Francisco (72%), Seattle (66%) and San Jose (64%) had the highest shares among big U.S. cities in 2025, per DoorDash's "2026 Two-Wheeled Progress Report."
Between the lines: Two-wheeled "Dashers" can travel more efficiently and make more money than those using cars, DoorDash says.
They spend around 15% less time traveling from offer acceptance to pickup, and earn over 10% more money per hour on average.
