Environmentally Friendly

Studies showed that e-cargo bikes use 6% of the electricity of a small electric van
When compared with life cycles, e-bikes emit 95% less than the average car, and 85% less than an electric car
When also considering embedded CO2, e-cargo bike will have ridden well over 100,000 miles before electric car is even out of factory
they only take 5% of the materials and energy of a car to make

Cost-Saving

Capacity/Efficiency/Faster

Cargo Bike for Last Mile Transportation
While traditional transport settings, e.g. trucks, have often a higher capacity, studies have shown that, when using either a mobile sub-hub or a hub outside of the city centre, cargo bikes usually travel less in total distance
the cargo bike is weight-efficient and can carry 4-6 times the payload per kg of vehicle weight compared to vans
Every kind of freight transport, from a bag of groceries to a fridge, going a distance or 7 km or less and weighing under 200 kg/m3 could be done by bike according to Cyclelogistics
In central London, the average speed of the bikes was 15km/h. In inner London, it was of 16.4 km/h
What this shows, is that within a 3-5 miles radius of the centre, bikes are likely to move significantly faster than vans or cars

Safety

Cargo bikes can reduce the number of cars on the street, saving and improving lives
In 2018 in London, there were 1,220 people killed or seriously injured between July and September due to road casualties. 99% of pedestrian collision deaths involve a motorised vehicle.
