Planning routes for cargo bikes, electric bicycles and scooters
As a business, you want to become more sustainable, but how do you create good routes if you deliver orders by cargo bikes, electric bikes or scooters? Read more!
Delivery by bicycles or scooters comes with challenges:
That delivering by bicycle or electric scooter is, in many cases, a sustainable choice, is undeniable. Still, you run into these challenges:
- No suitable (electric) bike route planner; there are no route planners that create bike routes to multiple addresses
- Communicating with your customers; how do you inform your customers with accurate timing of their delivery?
- Matching order to vehicle; not every order can be delivered with every vehicle, how do you arrange that?
- Not just bikes or scooters; your fleet often consists of more types of vehicles (e.g. vans). How do you plan a mixed fleet?
In this blog we tell you all about it.
Optimal routes for cargo bikes, electric bicycles or electric scooters
In the most ideal world, you can create delivery routes for electric (cargo) bikes and scooters at the push of a button. Now you mainly rely on Google Maps or other bicycle route maps. The downside of this is that you can often only specify a limited number of addresses for your route (usually max. 10 stops). In addition, many tools do not allow you to communicate with your customers what time you expect to stop by. Drivers also have no clarity on which route to take.
But how do you plan optimal delivery routes for bikes and other vehicles? Read more below.
RouteLogic the best bicycle route planner
