eCargo bike specification
Mid Sussex electrical chose the Riese & Müller Packster, which features:
- rear rack to increase carrying capacity
- removal tarpaulin to keep produce dry
- front suspension to keep ride smooth
- dual battery option to extend range to cover the team's longest rides
Outcome
Our food delivery service has been running for nearly a year now with our e-cargo bike supporting deliveries on a weekly basis:
- With the ecargo bike, we can deliver literally to the door, we don’t waste time looking for parking or needing to carry packages long distances
- Air pollution increases vulnerability to Covid-19, making our zero-emission deliveries even more important
- In Central Brighton, being able to use the cycle lanes is a huge advantage
As and when things return to a more normal footing and we are able to scale down our emergency delivery services, we plan to use the e-cargo bike as an environmentally- friendly tool to support community events across our housing estates.
We have had a lot of interest from community and residents groups across the city and also plan to let other groups use the bike to support their activities.
