Introduction
In Malaysia’s delivery economy, your earnings are directly tied to how many orders you can complete per shift — and that often comes down to having the right delivery rider gear Malaysia, more than most riders realise.
A bag that does not keep food hot means low ratings and fewer orders. Rainwear that leaks means stopping during downpours instead of riding through them. A saddle bag that keeps shifting on the seat means slower, more cautious riding. Every piece of gear either helps you earn more or costs you time, orders, and ratings.
This checklist covers every item a motorcycle delivery rider in Malaysia needs — from the right delivery bag to waterproof rainwear to backpacks — with a focus on what to look for and why it matters on Malaysian roads.
All products referenced in this guide are available from Red Wheels Trading (M) Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s pioneer delivery equipment manufacturer, established in 2014.

The Complete Delivery Rider Gear Checklist
Section 1: The Delivery Bag — Your Most Important Piece of Equipment
Your delivery bag is the first thing a customer judges before opening their food. A bag that looks worn, smells stale, or arrives with condensation on the outside creates a bad first impression before the food is even touched. More importantly, the bag determines whether your food arrives at the right temperature — which directly drives your ratings.
Red Wheels offers a full range of thermal and non-thermal delivery bags designed specifically for Malaysian motorcycle delivery riders. Here is what to choose based on your delivery type:
Customised Thermal & Non-Thermal Bag (Multiple Sizes)
Red Wheels’ customised thermal bags use food-grade certified insulation technology. The outer material is waterproof, anti-UV, and made from durable high-density fabric. Zippers are YKK — the most reliable zip standard available. All bags carry a manufacturer warranty.
Key features: Low MOQ available | Durable Material | Waterproof | YKK Accessories | Fully Customizable | Anti-UV Outer Material | Manufacturer Warranty
Best for: Restaurant or cloud kitchen riders who want a bag branded with their employer’s logo. Also ideal for any rider who wants a professional-grade thermal bag that lasts multiple shifts daily over months of use.
FDB Series (42L, 65L, 87L) — The Standard Delivery Bag Range
The FDB Series is Red Wheels’ core food delivery bag range. Available in three sizes to match different delivery volumes:
- FDB 42L — best for single-item orders, smaller meal sets, and city centre deliveries where speed and manoeuvrability matter.
- FDB 65L — the sweet spot for most Malaysian delivery riders. Large enough for family orders, small enough not to unbalance the motorcycle.
- FDB 87L — for riders who routinely handle large family orders, multi-item sets, or bulk meal deliveries.
All FDB bags include the Universal AdPanel — a built-in slot for interchangeable advertising panels, so businesses can update branding without replacing the bag.

Saddle Bag — For Motorcycle Rear Rack Mounting
Riders who handle grocery deliveries, pharmacy orders, or any delivery that involves upright items (bottled drinks, tall containers) will benefit from a saddle bag. The Red Wheels Saddle Bag is designed to fit over motorcycle rear racks with a stable, balanced load distribution.
The saddle bag keeps your main delivery bag free for food while secondary items go on the rack. It significantly increases your total carry capacity per trip without overloading your back or the front of the motorcycle.
A 90L dual-compartment saddle bag is available in the Red Wheels shop at RM159.00 — the dual compartment design lets you separate food and non-food items or hot and cold orders.
Food Delivery Bag 64L — For Motorcycle Riders
For riders who want a single purpose-built bag sized for motorcycle use, the Red Wheels 64L food delivery bag for motorcycle riders is available directly from the shop. At 64 litres, it handles most multi-item orders without the bulk of the 87L FDB, making it practical for mixed urban-suburban routes.
PDB 150 — For Super Jumbo / Parcel Delivery
If you handle large parcel delivery, bulky grocery orders, or catering runs alongside food delivery, the PDB 150 (Super Jumbo Parcel Delivery Bag, 150L) is the heavy-duty option. It is specifically rated for super heavy-duty parcel delivery requirements and is the bag that earned Red Wheels a Malaysia Book of Records entry.
Tactical Molle Bag (FM42 Series) — For Multi-Platform Riders
The FM42 Tactical Molle Bag is a modular delivery bag that uses MOLLE attachment points for additional accessories and side pouches. For riders who carry multiple types of cargo across different platforms — food delivery, documents, pharmacy — the modular design lets you configure the bag for each shift. Available in multiple colour options.
Tiffin Bag — For Traditional Meal Delivery
For riders delivering tiffin sets, bento boxes, or traditional Malaysian meal containers, Red Wheels’ dedicated Tiffin Bag is sized and shaped for this purpose. It prevents the stacking and shifting that causes spills with regular rectangular bags.
| Quick Reference: Which Bag for Which Delivery Type? Hot food, single restaurant: Customised Thermal Bag or FDB 65L Large family / multi-item orders: FDB 87L Mixed hot + cold (e.g. food + drinks): FDB 65L with dual compartment saddle bag Pharmacy / grocery / non-food parcels: PDB 150 or Saddle Bag Traditional tiffin / bento: Tiffin Bag Multi-platform rider (food + documents + grocery): FM42 Tactical Molle Bag Night shift / high visibility: Glow Box |
Section 2: Rainwear — Do Not Stop for Rain
Malaysia’s climate means delivery riders face rain on almost every shift. A rider who pulls over and waits for rain to stop loses time, orders, and income. The difference between a rider who earns consistently through wet weather and one who does not is almost entirely down to rainwear quality.
Red Wheels’ rainwear and baju hujan range is designed specifically for motorcycle delivery in the Malaysian climate. This is not generic outdoor rainwear repurposed for riders. It is built around the specific ergonomics of riding position, the need for high-visibility materials, and the requirement to put it on and take it off quickly at delivery stops.
Key features of Red Wheels’ rider rainwear:
- 100% Waterproof — not water resistant, not splash proof. Fully waterproof for sustained rain.
- Low MOQ Available — individuals can order, not just fleets.
- Durable Material — designed for repeated put-on / take-off cycles multiple times per shift.
- YKK Accessories — zip closures on pockets and main opening use YKK hardware.
- Fully Customizable — fleet operators can have their company branding on the rainwear.
- Anti-UV Outer Material — protection during sunny shifts as well as rainy ones.
- Manufacturer Warranty — direct warranty from the manufacturer, not a reseller.
For individual riders: the Red Wheels baju hujan range is available for direct purchase. For fleet operators and delivery companies: custom branding and bulk ordering are available with low MOQ.
A practical tip: carry two sets of rainwear — one on your person and one packed in your saddle bag or rear rack storage. If your first set is soaked through from a heavy downpour and you have three more hours of shift remaining, having a dry backup means you stay comfortable and keep riding.
Section 3: Backpack — For Riders Who Carry Extra Items
Not every delivery fits cleanly in a rear-rack bag. Documents, a phone power bank, a second set of rainwear, your own meal and water bottle — these are the items that end up in an awkward plastic bag hanging from the handlebars, which is both unsafe and unprofessional.
Red Wheels offers OEM/ODM backpacks as part of their Other Custom Solutions range. For riders, a good backpack serves as the personal-items carrier, keeping the delivery bag free for orders only. This matters because mixing personal items with food delivery bags is unhygienic — food-grade regulations require that food be transported separately from personal items.
For riders employed by a fleet or delivery company, custom branded backpacks from Red Wheels can also serve as part of the uniform, with the company logo printed on the bag.
Section 4: The Glow Box — For Night Shift Riders
If you work evening and night shifts, the Glow Box from Red Wheels is worth serious consideration. It is an illuminated delivery box that makes your motorcycle visible and your delivery brand visible in low-light conditions.
Night-shift riders face two challenges that daytime riders do not: lower visibility to other road users (safety concern) and less prominent branding impact (marketing concern). The Glow Box addresses both simultaneously.
What Separates Good Gear from Cheap Gear: A Practical Comparison
| Feature | Generic / Cheap Gear | Red Wheels Rider Gear |
| Insulation | Basic foam — loses temperature within 20–30 minutes | Food-grade certified insulation — maintains temperature for extended multi-stop deliveries |
| Zip quality | Generic PVC zips — split and snag within months | YKK accessories — engineered for thousands of open-close cycles |
| Waterproofing | Water resistant — soaks through in heavy rain | Fully waterproof construction |
| UV resistance | No UV protection — fabric fades and weakens within a season | Anti-UV outer material — designed for daily Southeast Asian sun exposure |
| Warranty | No warranty or reseller warranty | Manufacturer warranty — direct from production facility |
| Customization | Sticker / iron-on label only | Full OEM/ODM customization — colour, size, logo, materials |
| Food safety | Not food-grade certified | Food-grade certified insulation and materials |
For Fleet Operators and Delivery Companies
If you manage a fleet of riders — whether for a restaurant chain, a logistics company, or a last-mile delivery operation — Red Wheels’ customisation capability means your entire fleet can be equipped in a consistent, branded look.
Red Wheels serves multi-national e-commerce and food delivery companies and has the production scale to handle fleet orders across Malaysia, Thailand, and the wider Southeast Asian region. The company operates an overseas office in Bangkok and has exported to ten countries globally.
Fleet customization options include: branded delivery bags, branded rainwear, branded backpacks, and Glow Boxes — all in matching brand colours and with your company logo. Low MOQ means you can start with a pilot fleet before scaling up.

The Final Checklist
Before your next shift, run through this equipment checklist:
- Delivery bag — thermal or non-thermal, correct size for your typical order volume, waterproof, food-grade certified
- Saddle bag or rear rack bag — for increased carry capacity and non-food item separation
- Rainwear / baju hujan — 100% waterproof, fits over riding gear, YKK zips, quick to put on
- Backpack (optional) — for personal items, power banks, spare gear — keep separate from food delivery bag
- Glow Box (optional, night shift) — illuminated box for visibility and brand impact
If any item on this list is a generic, unbranded product bought from a random supplier, it is likely costing you in shorter lifespan, worse food temperature ratings, or time lost dealing with rain.
Conclusion
Delivery riding in Malaysia is a legitimate income stream — and like any business, the quality of your tools directly determines the quality of your results. A rider who invests in proper gear earns more, receives better ratings, works more comfortably through Malaysia’s rainy seasons, and projects professionalism to every customer.
