e-trikes vs Motorized Commercial Vehicle

Faster

Unlike the classic commercial vehicle, the bike is much faster than the car (Over a distance of less than 5km), especially at peak hours. In addition, the bike is very manoeuvrable and easy to squeeze through. As for the car, it is subject to the vagaries of traffic. As a result, the average speed of a bike in the city is 15 km/h, compared to 14 km/h for the car.

More practical

The major disadvantage of the car is the difficulty of parking. A study shows that, on average, motorists spend 40 minutes per day looking for a parking space. It's only 2 minutes for cyclists.

More economical

The most important expenses for a commercial vehicle are: gas, maintenance and parking. This represents an average budget of 30,000 €/year. For the bike, its cost of use is divided by 100! (300€/year: no insurance, no gas..)

Good for your health

It is no longer a secret that regular physical activity is highly recommended for health. With the urban lifestyle, it is not easy to find the time and the motivation to practice a sports activity. This is why, replacing your commercial vehicle with a cargo bike allows you to maintain regular physical activity and do good for your body and mind.

More ecological

On average, a car emits 114g of Co2 per km traveled, compared to 0g for a bike. This mode of travel has a significant impact on CO2 emissions and on air quality. It is therefore important to encourage its practice. Using a bike for business trips has multiple advantages in the city, compared to using a car.
