About

E-cargobikes.com was founded in 2017 to establish electrically assisted cargo bikes as the preferred urban delivery platform for grocers and other retailers.

o We’re passionate about replacing the incumbent margin erosive and polluting van-based model.

o We pioneered the use of e-cargo bikes for last mile, multi drop deliveries in urban areas.

o We campaign for change. Working alongside organisations that believe we can all make a big difference.

The pillars of sustainability

Don’t just take our word for it – see what some of our staff have to say about working for e-cargobikes.com in this video.

Our Mission

To encourage widespread use of e-cargobikes as a last-mile delivery option

o To offer to grocers and retailers an environmentally and financially sustainable alternative to fossil-fuelled vehicles when making B2C deliveries in high-density areas.

o To reduce inner city pollution levels by reducing the number of fossil-fuelled vehicles on the road.

o To raise awareness of the true environmental cost of booming home delivery.

o To prove that a fairly treated and employed workforce is not a barrier to profitability.

o To increase society’s awareness of the environmental and social issues we all face.

o To support our clients in meeting their sustainable development goals.

Our Vision

We have proved beyond doubt that e-cargobikes are commercially viable and can deliver more for less.

Already established in London, we will be expanding nationally to other cities and towns with high-density urban populations. We are a socially responsible business. We will show that success is not measured by profit alone; and that doing the best for all stakeholders (our clients, our staff, and the wider community) and operating a profitable business, need not be mutually exclusive aspirations.

“We are proud to be Ashden Award winners for pioneering sustainable deliveries in urban areas. Established in 2001, the Ashden Awards are globally recognised as a mark of excellence in the field of climate solutions.”

Clare Elwes, co-founder of e-cargobikes.com

Proud to be living wage champions

“e-cargobikes.com are a London based socially responsible, last mile delivery company. Low paid and insecure work is prevalent in the delivery industry, but e-cargobikes.com are breaking the mould and the ethos of putting the rider first is at the centre of their business model.”
