Amazon is also testing electric cargo bikes for city deliveries

Amazon is testing electric cargo bikes as a replacement for some of its gas-guzzling vans, a step that could help the company hit its goal of being net-zero carbon by 2040. Like the UPS cargo bikes that have been peddling around NYC, Amazon’s e-bikes look a lot like miniature delivery vans. A cute touch, if you ask us.

The fleet of e-bikes is part of a larger Amazon initiative to create a “micromobility hub” for sustainable deliveries in Central London. The cargo bikes will be joined by a fleet of walkers who will — you guessed it — walk packages to their final destinations.
