Over 2 million deliveries are made in New York daily, with about a million freight trips each day passing through New York’s five boroughs, City Council Speaker Corey JohnsonEven before Wednesday’s announcement, Amazon had been using electric cargo delivery bikes in New York the past ten months to deliverin Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood from three of its Whole Foods stores. It said each cargo bike it uses can take one delivery truck off the road.
Cargo bikes are flexible—able to travel in the city’s expanding bike lanes, for instance—so the initiative may also help respond to consumers’ growing demand for ultra-fast delivery. New York’s pilot is expected to be closely watched and may serve as a template for other densely populated markets.
