This congestion eating emergency electric bike supplies 150 litres of storages and is nimble enough to cut through traffic and park almost anywhere
This electric bike specifically designed for medics is now in use in Paris. ‘The Emergency Bike’ allows the medics to traverse the city with more ease than a motor vehicle, while still carrying all their necessary supplies.
Designed by PR/tech development company Wunderman Thompson Paris alongside French electric mobility firm Ecox Enterprises, Paris emergency services and Urban Arrow this bike allows for much greater mobility than an average ambulance. Being an e-bike, it also allows for easier parking which can make a significant impact on responding time. Wunderman Thompson Paris even claimed that the electric bike has halved response times.
The actual bike appears to be a modified version of the dual battery Urban Arrow Shorty, which includes an Enviolo N-380 gearing system and powerful Bosch motor. The bike includes an insulated 150 litre box which provides the storage space for medical supplies and a flashing blue LED indicative of traditional ambulances. The bike also comes with reinforced anti-puncture tyres and Shimano hydraulic disk brakes.
Further reinforcing the benefit of electric cargo bikes Pedal Me, who have an electric cargo fleet in London, claim that their fleet has an average moving speed of 2mph faster than vans and a shorter overall delivery time. Especially due to parking as they can literally stop outside the front door.
