How Government Grants Can Help eBike Deliveries

January 3, 2018 by Guest Leave a Comment

By Richard Shrubb

Rob King, Managing Director of Cambridge, UK based Outspoken Delivery spoke to us about how a London borough council supported them into opening a new branch in London. 

Outspoken Delivery was originally a cycle couriers Rob founded in 2005 in the ancient university city of Cambridge.

While the business did well initially, they found that competition was extremely intense so the company moved into ordinary cargo bikes that had 120lb payload capacity, and could be used for last mile deliveries.

This enabled the business to expand.  [Read more…]

Bixby and her human (Mike Minnick) have been traveling the US on a Yuba cargo bike to encourage pet adoption and their latest adventure is to beat the current world record for longest electric bike ride with more than 10,000 miles of riding!

They will officially kick off their electric cargo bike adventure at the Sea Otter Classic in April and then make stops at the Palo Alto Electric Bike Expo and possibly the Portland and Denver locations as well.

Electric Cargo Bike Guide [VIDEOS]

May 15, 2015 by Pete 32 Comments

Spicy-Curry-riding-sideOne of the recent developments in the electric bike and traditional bicycle world has been the cargo or utility bike.

Cargo bikes are designed to carry loads that are larger and heavier than a traditional bicycle can carry like passengers, many bags of groceries, boxes, etc.

Electric cargo bikes offer an additional electric assist to the rider which allows them to carry a heavier load for a longer distance.

The electric cargo bike in many cases is a great alternative to driving a car for running errands and commuting to work.

Benefits of an Electric Cargo Bike

The average person who takes the kids to school, commutes to work, and needs to run errands around town can use this type of bike without getting too [Read more…]

xtracycle bosh edgerunner electric cargo bikeFor 2015 Xtracycle has joined forces with Bosch to bring their Edgerunner to market with the Bosch Performance Line mid drive system.

The new 10E will feature the Bosch 350 watt mid drive system with a center mounted 36V 11ah lithium battery.

At Interbike (largest bike show in the US) they had The Bean Machine, a coffee shop set up on a 10E and for the end of the day they had the beer bike with [Read more…]

Life With An Electric Assist Cargo Bike: The Camping/Fishing E-Cargo Bike

August 22, 2014 by Paul Willerton 4 Comments

yuba el mundo fishing gearThis post continues Paul Willerton’s series (Part 1 & Part 2) on building and using a Yuba Mundo (becoming an El Mundo, electric assisted).

Some time has passed since my last post on how a Yuba Mundo with BionX has been woven into my daily life. About a year, in fact.

While it’s still not time for a “Long Term Review”, I will say this: the bike is holding up extremely well – even, dare I say, improving.

There was a dark period that began on December 31, 2013. Out for a New Year’s Eve ride with the whole family on the bike in Portland, Oregon, we had a [Read more…]

Life With An Electric Assist Cargo Bike – Part 2: Kids

September 11, 2013 by Paul Willerton 10 Comments

By Paul Willerton.  

In part 1 of “Life With An Electric Assist Cargo Bike”, I wrote about why I ride such a bike and why the Yuba Mundo with BionX became my long-term partner for these stories.

In part 2, I write about a big reason I ride the bike: kids.

Bicycles fascinate us. Attending the “Cyclepedia” exhibit at the Portland Art Museum in August was eye opening for me. I thought I had seen it all over 40 years of studying the bike.

I realized that most of the “inventions” to make bicycles more efficient, comfortable, and practical forms of transportation were actually [Read more…]
