Transforming Urban Logistics
The bustling streets of New York City have become an unlikely proving ground for electric cargo bikes, thanks to Tern’s innovative designs. Recently, the company celebrated a remarkable milestone, as its fleet partners logged over one million miles (1.6 million km) in the city alone. This achievement showcases the increasing demand for sustainable logistics solutions and the durability of Tern’s electric bikes.
An Impressive Delivery System
With these electric cargo bikes reportedly completing more than 13 million deliveries per year, the bright-vested riders navigating Manhattan’s busy streets have become a familiar sight. Since their introduction in 2021, these robust rigs have remained in near-constant operation, often functioning for 16 to 20 hours a day during peak periods. It’s evident that urban e-bike logistics is not just a trend; it’s a vital part of daily life in NYC.
Built to Endure
As Steve Boyd, Tern’s North America GM, puts it: “These bikes get hammered, and they have the scars to prove it… but they’re engineered to keep on grinding away, mile after mile.” It’s this combination of resilience and efficiency that continues to elevate Tern’s place in the urban transport landscape. As Tern leads the charge in electric cargo solutions, it’s clear this milestone is just the beginning of a more sustainable future for logistical operations.
