Equipment & Vehicle

Lasta currently supports the following vehicle types:

• Walking — for short-distance deliveries in urban areas.
• Bicycle — standard pedal bicycle.
• E-bike — electric-assisted bicycle (must comply with Irish road regulations).

Additional vehicle types (scooter, car, cargo bike) will be added as Lasta expands.

Recommended equipment for all delivery partners:

• Insulated delivery bag — to keep parcels protected from weather.
• Phone mount — for safe, hands-free navigation.
• Helmet — mandatory for cyclists and e-bike riders.
• Reflective gear — high-visibility vest or jacket.
• Portable charger — to keep your phone powered through long sessions.

Lasta does not currently provide branded equipment. You are welcome to use any insulated delivery bag or backpack that can safely carry parcels. We recommend a bag with a capacity of at least 30 litres for standard deliveries.

Branded Lasta equipment may become available in future — watch the app and your email for updates.

Regular maintenance keeps you safe and efficient:

• Check tyre pressure and brake function before each session.
• Keep your chain clean and lubricated.
• Ensure all lights are working, especially for evening deliveries.
• For e-bikes: charge the battery fully before going online and carry your charger if doing long sessions.

The Lasta Driver app includes an expense tracker where you can log maintenance costs for your tax records.

Yes, you can update your vehicle type at any time in Account > Vehicle within the app. Your vehicle type affects which orders are offered to you and the delivery radius, so make sure it reflects the vehicle you are actually using.

To deliver safely with Lasta, your equipment must meet these minimum standards:

• Thermal/insulated bag — must be foil-lined, clean, and hygienic with a secure closing mechanism. Minimum size: 35 cm × 26 cm × 35 cm.
• Reflective clothing — a high-visibility vest or jacket made of reflective material, designed to ensure you are visible from all angles.
• Helmet — mandatory for cyclists and e-bike riders. Must be in good condition and properly fitted.
• Lights — front (white) and rear (red) lights are required for cycling after dark.
• Phone mount — must attach securely to your vehicle and provide a clear viewing angle.

Your kit does not need to be Lasta-branded — any equipment that meets these requirements is acceptable.

We are working on a branded kit programme that will include professional-grade delivery equipment such as insulated backpacks, thermal bags, reflective jackets, and accessories.

In the meantime, you are welcome to use any equipment that meets our minimum safety requirements. When branded kit becomes available, you will be able to order it through the app. We will announce availability via push notification and email.
