Cargo Bike Rides Dataset
In 2023, Hazay Bikes collected data from our cargo bikes in Polish cities. These bikes had special hardware to track cargo weight, speed, cadence, electric engine power, and elevation changes. With over 500 hours of data from professional couriers, we offer a deep look into urban cycling on cargo bikes.
Below, we present our key insights.
Average delivery speed
20.6 km/h
Deliveries made on cargo bikes in urban areas. That's faster than an average car speed during rush hour in London, Paris, or Dublin.
Average delivery distance
5.1 km
83% of deliveries on our cargo bikes were shorter than 10km.
Average energy consumption
8.3 Wh/km
That gives around 72km of cargo bike delivery range with a 600Wh battery.
Distribution of cargo bike speed (km/h)
Data from deliveries on cargo e-bikes in urban areas collected in 10s intervals
Cargo bike speed (km/h)
Deliveries shorter than 10km
83%
In urban areas the vast majority of deliveries made by couriers on our cargo e-bikes were shorter than 10kms.
Cargo bike vs. traditional car
1:100
Ratio of average energy needed to cover 1km in a urban traffic between a cargo bike and a combustion engine car.
Most popular engine support level
5 / 5
When couriers on cargo e-bikes utilized electric assist, they predominantly favored the maximum engine support level.
Distribution of cargo bike delivery distance
Data from deliveries on cargo e-bikes in urban areas. More than 5 mins of bike inactivity means end of the current trip.
