November 19, 2020 - Bradford Council in the UK has launched an e-cargo bike pilot program funded through the Government’s Active Travel Fund to promote greener transport options for businesses, organizations and residents.

The Council selected three styles of e-cargo bikes, two of which will be used by local businesses and organisations, and the other by the Council. The program is off to good start with the Neighbourhood & Customer Services Parks team at Lister Park utilizing the functional e-cargo bike to transport tools, collect leaves and pick up litter.
