I don't see a whole duty fitting in that. Seems like a step towards turning us into Uber Letters. Give me my pouch boxes back.
The machine stops.

Not this again.

They were proposing chuckle brother style bikes in a similar shitty design the other year.

Coming up: ‘team - feeling excited - looking at drone deliveries - stay tuned’
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Looks barely bigger than a hct on end, that cunningly blocks the rider's view when changing position in Lane. :crazy:

Could make some new duties up for the non drivers. Don't think I'd be able to cover LATs off on one of those.

Isn't it electric though with 'pedal assist'?

Made by Pashley who apparently made the RM bikes in the past.

https://www.pashley.co.uk/news/events/p ... -award.php
....It utilises vehicle dynamics simulation tools and an innovative tilting & carbon spring mechanism to greatly improve stability and rider confidence. Furthermore, utilises lightweight welded composites and the application of cutting edge game-engine virtual reality modelling to optimise the manufacturing environment. With the flexibility of different cargo-carrying configurations built into the base design, it’s no surprise that there is already significant interest from a broad range of sole traders to ‘blue chip’ fleet operators. Particularly for inner city and urban areas, the potential to replace the use of vans, cars and motorcycles for deliveries with a highly efficient, zero emissions solution that can also reduce congestion is an exciting prospect......
