Luke Wake, UPS vice president of fleet maintenance and engineering, shows off "eQuad" electric bikes that package delivery giant is testing for urban deliveries in a number of countries, as part of a push toward zero-emission vehicles in its fleet, in London, Britain, March 29, 2022. Picture taken March 29, 2022.
As well as making public commitments to cut their carbon footprints, package-delivery companies are seeking new ways to cut the cost of last-mile deliveries amid soaring e-commerce orders.UPS' eQuad has an electric-assisted top speed of around 25 kilometers - if you pedal hard you can go faster - and can haul up to 200 kilograms of packages. Its electric battery has a range of around 40 miles , which Wake said would be more than adequate for urban routes.
Not to be pedantic or anything but - by definition - a bicycle has two wheels.
Do they have pedals?
Yeah that won't work in winter
