B-Line are a fantastic urban delivery company in Portland, America using electric-assisted tricycles with a trailer attached to move around goods in an eco-friendly way. Rather than using cumbersome, fume belching lorries and vans to transport fresh food and other goods around congested, busy cities, this nimble cargo trike is the perfect alternative.
In just under a year they have cycled 16,000 miles and reduced their CO2 emissions by 37,000 pounds. For in-city deliveries these nippy little tricycles couldn't be better, you can even advertise on the sides of the trailer. B-Line works with local businesses, provides green-collar jobs and helps communities become increasing environmentally friendly. I cant wait for similar businesses to spring up in the UK.
