How does Find My Ride match me to a vehicle?
Find My Ride ranks every current vehicle on Bykes.in against your 12 answers in three steps. First, it re-weights the nine Bykes Score dimensions by what you said matters, for example city agility counts 2.5 times more if you ride mostly in dense traffic. Second, it demotes vehicles that break a hard requirement, such as motorcycles when you want gearless, petrol models when you want electric, seats above about 780 mm for riders under 5 ft 4 in, or prices more than 15% over your budget. Third, it shows the top three as a match percentage from 1 to 99, plus one aspirational pick.
Step 1: What your answers make more important
Each vehicle starts with nine Bykes Scores (0–100). Every dimension counts once, and your answers raise the weight of the ones you care about:
| If you answer | Effect on the ranking |
|---|---|
| Mostly dense city traffic, or heavy stop-go roads | City agility counts 2.5× |
| Mostly highway, or more than 50 km a day | Highway ability counts 2.5× |
| Comfort is the priority, 25–50 km a day, or potholed roads | Comfort counts 2.4× |
| Frequent pillion or family use | Pillion comfort counts 2.6× |
| Groceries or weekend luggage | Storage counts 2.4× |
| Style is the priority | Style counts 2.5× |
| Performance is the priority, or you are an enthusiast | Fun factor counts 2.6× |
| Mileage and low cost is the priority | Reliability and service counts 2.2× |
| Open to pre-owned | Resale value counts 1.8× |
Step 2: Hard requirements that demote a vehicle
The weighted average is then reduced when a vehicle breaks something you said you need:
| If you answer | What gets demoted |
|---|---|
| Definitely gearless | Motorcycles drop 32 points |
| Prefer a motorcycle or enjoy gears | Scooters drop 18 points |
| Electric, with charging access | Petrol models drop 32 points |
| Petrol | Electric models drop 22 points |
| Beginner rider | Engines above 250 cc drop 24 points |
| Height below 5 ft 4 in | Seats above 780 mm drop 10 points (engines above 350 cc drop 12 when seat height is unknown) |
| Height above 5 ft 9 in | Seats below 765 mm drop 6 points |
| Price more than 15% over your budget band | Drops up to 35 points, more the further over budget |
| Broken or rural roads, or potholes | Ground clearance below 155 mm drops 8 points |
| Electric and more than 50 km a day | Claimed range below 100 km drops 15 points |
Step 3: Your shortlist
The result is a match percentage from 1 to 99. You see the top three vehicles plus one aspirational pick of a different type with style and fun scores above 80. Discontinued models only appear if you choose pre-owned. Every match links to the full vehicle page so you can check the specifications behind the score.
Does Find My Ride use my phone number or email to rank vehicles?
No. The ranking runs in your browser using only your 12 answers. Your name, phone, email and city are used to save your profile and email you the shortlist, and the ranking code has no sponsored or paid weighting for any brand.
Is a high match percentage a guarantee that a vehicle suits me?
No. A match percentage shows how well a vehicle's published specifications and Bykes Scores fit your answers. Physical fit, comfort and dealer service quality can only be confirmed on a test ride, so treat the top three as a shortlist to ride, not a final decision.
