City Q, a mobile car valeting company, unveil a new covered flour-wheel e-cargo bike. City Q claim this is a unique exploration of the gap between bike and car. The City Q is an e bike that includes full weather protection and also includes doors. This bike can then be further fitted the rear seats and a cargo bed.
The City Q is claimed to provide “car technologies and comfort” but also complies with the EU regulations for electric bikes. The City Q has a 250W motor and is limited to a maximum speed of 15mph.
The City Q bike has reached a deal with UpSteam, a mobile car wash firm, and will make 10 cargo CityQ bikes that will come fitted with cleaning equipment, steamers and vacuum cleaners. By replacing the UpSteam car fleet with a bike fleet would create a big difference in their carbon output but will also benefit them by not having to worry about parking, car-free areas or parking.
Replacing vehicle fleets with electric alternatives contains a multitude of benefits that range beyond the environmental benefits. By using an electric bike you can circumvent the newer restrictions put on parking, car lane reductions, speed limit reductions and low emission zones.
