What Should You Look for in a Delivery Electric Bike?

We've listed the factors and features of electric delivery bikes to guide you in your selection.

Range

The range is an essential factor when choosing an electric delivery bike. Your electric delivery bike should be able to cover the delivery location without needing a charge. For an 8-hour shift, you would need a mile range of 30+. Consider your possible farthest delivery location and select an electric bike with a slightly higher range.

Power

You can measure the power of an electric delivery bike through its battery. The power level of an electric bike depends on its purpose. Check the watt-hour rating of the electric battery and select higher-rated battery options. If you are riding around lots of hills you will want to make sure you have a higher powered electric bike.

Speed

Your electric delivery bike should have the appropriate motor to deliver packages at a reasonable time. Better speed means more deliveries and better business.

Weight/payload Capacity

The weight or payload capacity is the maximum load that an electric bike can carry. Check the maximum weight of your delivery and select an electric bike that can support it. If you have a heavy load you will want to buy an electric bike with a higher weigh capacity.

Cargo Design

An electric bike can either be a front loader or a longtail. A front loader has a cargo basket/rack/ positioned in front of the bike. A longtail has a rear that is more elongated for hauling more cargo. Choose an electric bike based on what you plan to carry and the distance you need to cover. Another option is to have an electric tricycle which generally has a basket on the front and back. These are mainly recommended for residential areas though because they are not as easy to maneuver.

Cost

Buying an electric bike for the delivery business is an investment. This bike will literally pay for itself over time if you get one that will last! We offer financing (FINANCING) so that you don’t have to pay for it upfront and the investment will literally pay itself off without needing gas and vehicle repairs.
