London businesses are discovering that electric cargo bikes aren’t just good for the planet — they’re smart for business too. 

If you are interested in a cargo bike for your business then read on and find out how we can help.

 

Thinking About Switching to a Cargo Bike for Your Business?

Across London, businesses of all kinds are discovering that electric cargo bikes aren’t just better for the environment—they make smart business sense too. From florists and cafés to tradespeople and couriers, companies are turning to cargo bikes to cut costs, save time, and showcase their commitment to sustainability and community.

With rising fuel costs, congestion charges, and narrow city streets, traditional vans are becoming less practical for urban deliveries. Cargo bikes offer a smarter, greener, and more efficient way to move goods around the city.

Cargo bikes are also changing the way businesses deliver. According to Transport for London, they can be up to 1.6 times faster than vans in central London while producing 96% less COâ‚‚ per kilometre. Their compact size allows them to navigate cycle lanes, avoid traffic jams, and park directly outside your destination—saving time and reducing stress on every trip.

At Peddle My Wheels, we help businesses experience the benefits of cargo bikes through our programmes, including Try Before You Bike and OurBike, the UK’s largest community e-cargo bike share.
