Why is an E-cargobike good for my business?

Faster deliveries: Bikes can manouvre around the streets easier than cars during peak hours and can take shorter routes than a car/van

Bike riders do not have to worry about looking for a parking spot which can be incredibly difficult in busy cities

Riders don't need a driver's license (younger people are less likely to have a driver's license these days)

Riders will be healthier and happier = more productive

Better for the environment than a van/car and shows the business values the environment

Once your trial is over, we'll produce a free report that will show you how you utilised the bike and how much money and emissions your business could save by switching to an e-cargobike permanently.
