Why Cargo Bikes Are Better Than Delivery Trucks?

Cargo Bike

In many cities, the idea of bicycle couriers is getting more and more popular. You might be surprised at what cargo bikes can handle. And the best part is, in cities with bike lanes, bikes are often a faster form of transportation.

1. They are good for traffic

Replacing many of the trucks on the road with cargo bikes will reduce the traffic load on cities. Bikes of all types and sizes should be a welcome change.

2. They are cheaper

A bicycle costs far less than a delivery truck. That's just the upfront cost. Consider the costs associated with managing a fleet of trucks; there are maintenance fees. If the trucks are damaged, you have to pay to get them repaired. You have to pay a significant amount for gasoline.

With cargo bikes, they don't cost anything to use in the first place. You don't have to pay for gasoline. Secondly, the cost of maintaining and repairing the bikes is a fraction of the cost of the truck.

3. They are good for the environment

At this point, it doesn't even need to be said, but no matter how obvious it is, it is one of the most critical advantages of bicycles over cars. Bicycles are good for the environment.

Motor vehicles are one of the biggest contributors to air pollution on the planet, and at a time when efforts to reduce human contributions to pollution are essential but often overlooked, switching to cargo bikes should be an easy, cost-effective option.

At no additional cost, you can change your business from one that makes pollution worse to one that makes the air we all breathe cleaner and healthier.

Beijivehicle Cargo Tricycles

The original design of Cargo Tricycles, and the base of all our models. We run our cargo trike business with our tricycles. They’re made for all kinds of real-life adventures, from daily errands to running businesses completely with pedals、in sunshine、rain、ice, and snow.

All of our trikes have hinged or removable lids, so your cargo stays dry if you're delivering in a storm, nasty puddles won't get your stuff dirty, and small things won't be lost. Also, people on the street can't see what you're moving, so you can have anything inside the box without extra attention to your dirty laundry. 

The boxes are lockable for multiple stops around the city, and when you need to leave your equipment unattended for a moment before unloading. They’re narrow enough to park on sidewalks, fit in any bicycle path or lane, and squeeze between cars where bicycle infrastructure is lacking. 

They have large diameter wheels all around for managing potholes, cobblestones, trolley tracks, and rough curb cuts. They can be ridden literally from the door through the door for last-mile deliveries, even on narrow, traffic-clogged old city streets. We can also add an electric assist, for longer distances or hilly environments.
