The company is also carrying out a trial of electric motorcycles.
The use of electric bikes is expected to reduce monthly costs for riders, as fuel prices continue to rise.
Talabat also introduced cooling vests, towels and 21 air-conditioned buses at rest stops across the country to offer shelter from the sun.
