JoyRide was established in 2019, at the time the Philippine government through the technical working group of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LFTRB) was allowing Angkas to conduct pilot testing of the feasibility of motorcycle taxi-hailing as a means of public transportation.

[5] The company which is majority owned by the families of Filipinos Ralph Nubla Jr. and Bea Chua, have requested to join the pilot operations as early as September 2019.

[7] In March 2020, JoyRide launched its delivery service amidst the COVID-19 pandemic community quarantines.

[8] Initially launched as a motorcycle taxi-hailing service, JoyRide has since expanded its offerings to include car rides, and other transportation solutions.

[9][10] As of March 2024, JoyRide along with Angkas and Move It are being allowed to provide motorcylce taxi-hailing service as part of the government's pilot run of the transport scheme despite the lack of a legal framework.
