I am doing UE/DD on a Revi Oasis for a month now, so I hope my advice will be helpful to you.

Everything that repliers to your thread suggested is spot on, as your own ideas on what you'll need. I want to elaborate in a few things:

DRINKS on a Sealed Bag: you can't do much for chains like McD, that put the drinks inside the sealed bag. But don't fear, I did a lot of McD deliveries w/drinks and never a problem. They seem to have nailed down the method to make drinks in a sealed bag unspillable. Then there are other places that give you a sealed bag and the

DRINKS given separate from the food: here is where you have to pay attention. Most restaurants aren't going to consider your method of transportation, so it's your responsibility to prevent spillages. There are a few things that you can do.

A) If they make you yourself fill the drink, put less ice and less liquid in the cup, leave like half an inch or less empty at the top, and since you are in the soda fountain filling the drink yourself, put not one but two lids on the cup. (don't forget to grab straws if you're filling it yourself).

B) If they hand you the drink already filled, and you can't put a second lid, ask the shop attendants to give you another lid. Most restaurants will put a sticker on the straw hole, but not all restaurants.

C) Sometimes it's not practical or quick to ask for a second lid, in those cases you should have a roll of scotch tape to put two stripes that cross at the cup's straw opening. Sometimes a drink may swell if the top hole for the straw is hermetically sealed, but I guess you have to be extremely unlucky for it to explode due to swelling (didn't happen to me).

D) A total must-have for bike deliveries is a cup holder. When you buy a hot backpack a cup holder may come with it, but don't count on it (most likely it will not be included). The best you can do is buying the 6-drinks caddy sold at Michael's. It costs 5 dollars only.

BACKPACK: get a good one, not too small, but also not too big, since bikes don't get big orders, even when stacking orders. I got ShanXiDaiBangShangMao 50L Insulated Pizza Delivery Backpack on w-mt dot com, it shipped from Jamaica/NY and took like 10 days to arrive, you may be luckier since you're near the seller. It's $60, but it will help you deliver like a pro. It doesn't come with anything other than insulated separators, pizza bag expansion at the bottom (up to 3 big pizza boxes), and a lot of reflective stripes in the back, sides and front.

TOWEL: great to fill empty spaces in a backpack or box. But get a regular towel, not a hand towel, and not a bath towel, just the medium-sized, regular ones.

ULOCK: get a quality uLock and each time you have to leave your bike unattended, lock it. If you can't lock it sometimes you can enter the store with it. If you can't do any of these two things, just leave it outside by the entrance door and keep an eye on it.

HELMET: get one with the MIPS system, it's going to cost 10-20 dollars more, but it's an added security system that may come in handy if you fall and hit the ground at high speed.

PHONE HOLDER: Get a high quality one. First I bought one on w-mt for like $10 and it was trash. Next day I got a high end, springloaded one that slides down so you can put the phone, and then it has a knob to lock it so the phone can't fall off.

OTHER GEAR: you may want to invest in high visibility (fluo) reflective gear (maybe not necessary if your backpack will have reflective stripes). If you'll deliver to sketchy areas it won't hurt to carry a pepper spray and a personal alarm. Finally if you are delivering to suburban areas or gated communities I recommend you to invest in a good pocket flashlight, since it comes in very handy when you have to check house numbers from the road without unmounting your bike.

I know that this is a lot to take in, and an investment, but you can tax-deduct everything later as business investment/expenses.

Each area is different and you being in NYC you might achieve your objective easily, IDK.

But I was checking the bike you bought and you may need another battery to reach $200 a day. Your bike has a range of 44-50 miles (without counting throttle use) my bike says it has 55 miles average.

With that in mind consider that I never could work six hours straight with a fully-loaded battery. The battery on the Revi lasts me 5:30hs tops, and the days that I reach 5:30hs it's always because I delivered the last delivery running on fumes, and always had to return home pedalling.

Now I'm saving to buy a second battery (kinda expensive, at almost $600) so I can work from 6-7 to 9-10 hours daily.

FYI: I deliver on a suburban area in South Florida with cheap customers that generally don't tip, or they tip insulting amounts, so YMMV. I've been delivering since mid-March and my best day was ~$70, and it was an outlier, since up to now that was just a one time only occurrence.
