In a creative new service out of Khanewal, a local entrepreneur is renting motorcycle helmets for only Rs 10 per hour, a small cost for safety that could help change how people travel. The initiative reflects a simple but clever way to make helmets accessible, especially for riders who might not own one.
The helmet‑rental service works like this: a motorcyclist who needs a helmet can rent one at a fixed hourly rate. This gives riders an affordable option if they are traveling short distances, borrowing a bike, or simply forgot their own helmet at home. The low price aims to encourage use of safety gear without burdening riders financially.
Local residents say they hope the idea catches on. Many have praised the cost and ease of renting a helmet rather than depending on friends or risking a fine. Others say it may encourage safety compliance among daily commuters and occasional riders alike.
Beyond convenience, the business has a social benefit, it makes helmets available to those who might otherwise skip them because of cost or lack of access. Road‑safety experts often stress that wearing a helmet greatly reduces the risk of head injuries in accidents; this service could help more people stay protected.
The man behind the idea said he wants to expand the service if demand grows. He hopes to add more helmets and maybe even set up more rental spots around the city. If successful, such a model could become a practical, low‑cost solution for helmet availability, encouraging safer riding habits without requiring every rider to own their own helmet.
