Three-Wheeled Wonder: How Trikes Deliver

If you're following us - you're likely in the delivery business and you're no stranger to the challenges of last-mile delivery.

Making deliveries in urban areas can be tricky, with traffic congestion and narrow streets, but the right vehicle can make all the difference. In this article, we'll explore why a trike is an excellent option for delivery over a traditional bike and how it can benefit your business.

Firstly, Trikes have more space between the back two wheels to carry: which means you can make more deliveries in one trip. Increased capacity means that you can deliver more items per hour, which can increase your revenue and reduce your delivery costs.

Trikes are more stable than bikes, making them an excellent choice for deliveries in urban areas. Having three wheels provide more stability than two-wheeled bikes and they have a lower center of gravity which helps prevent tipping. This means that you can make deliveries more efficiently and safely, without worrying about losing balance or falling over.

In addition to these benefits, trikes can also be a great choice for 3PL companies. Third-party logistics companies often have to make deliveries in challenging urban areas, and trikes can make these deliveries more efficiently and safely. With a trike, 3PL companies can make more deliveries in less time, which can increase their revenue and help them better serve their clients.

While bikes are a great choice for some deliveries, they have their limitations. Bikes can be unstable, especially when carrying heavy loads, and they don't have the same capacity as a trike.

For example - Our Venture Trike has a capacity of 200lbs on the back wheels, expandable to 400lbs with the addition of our integrated trailer system. That's not including the weight of the rider!

A trike is an excellent choice for delivery over a bike. With increased capacity, stability, and sustainability, a trike can help your business make more deliveries in less time while reducing your carbon footprint. So, if you're looking to upgrade your delivery fleet, shoot us a line!
