The Program

How WeRide works.

From your first application to your first paycheck — here's exactly what to expect when you join WeRide.

01
Step 01

Apply to Join

Fill out a simple application online or in person at one of our NYC partner locations. No credit history, no prior experience, and no fees required. Our team reviews every application personally.

Applications take about 10 minutes. We accept rolling applications year-round.

Step 02

Meet Your Coordinator

Once accepted, you'll be paired with a WeRide program coordinator who will walk you through the program, answer your questions, and help you set goals for your first 90 days.

Coordinators are available in-person and by phone, Monday through Saturday.

Step 03

Get Trained & Geared Up

We provide a full safety training session, a certified helmet, reflective gear, and a fully-charged e-bike — all at no cost to you. Training takes one day and covers city riding, safety rules, and basic maintenance.

Training is held at our Brooklyn hub and takes approximately 6 hours.

Step 04

Start Riding & Earning

You're ready to ride. Use your e-bike for deliveries, courier work, or other micro-employment opportunities we connect you with. Keep your earnings — WeRide takes nothing from your income.

Most riders begin earning within their first week on the road.

Step 05

Build Toward Stability

As you earn, your coordinator helps you access housing resources, open a bank account, and plan your next steps. WeRide is a launchpad — we're here for the long haul, not just the first ride.

Ongoing support is available for up to 12 months after joining the program.
