650kg electric cargo bikes arriving in London in 2023 amid safety concerns.
Thousands of half-ton electric cargo bikes, weighing up to 650kg when fully loaded, are set to arrive in London next year despite safety concerns. Campaigners warn these vehicles could increase pedestrian injuries. Cityshuttle, a company producing these bikes, argues they are bikes due to their pedals and 250-watt motor. Transport for London aims for 17% of cargo delivery journeys to be made by bicycle by 2030.
