Milestone as one million vehicle miles replaced by Tern delivery e-bikes in New York City: Elektrek

 E-bike delivery fleets in NYC have just crossed the collective million-mile mark. "E-cargo bike efficiency now mirrors that of traditional delivery vans," Elektrek reports, with "some fleets... hitting 360 deliveries per day, averaging more than 22 deliveries per hour." The fleets are made up of Tern HSD e-bikes and CARLA Cargo trailers, capable of carrying 300+ lbs at a time. Some individual bikes have even clocked over 30,000 miles on the road, reducing VMT and emissions over years of service.

Tern says their cargo rigs are an optimal choice for congested New York City, offering greater flexibility than trucks and vans, at 1/6th of the annual cost per fleet vehicle. And now, they can point to a real world track record of reliability as business machines.
