Can citywide battery leasing for cargo e-bikes undercut small electric vans for same-day last-mile deliveries
When I first started following the shift to micromobility solutions for urban logistics, cargo e-bikes felt like a niche curiosity. Fast forward a few years, and they're increasingly visible: zipping down bike lanes, stationed at micro-hubs, and replacing small vans on narrow streets. One thread...
