- UK delivery company Evri has announced that it recorded 100% uptime of its fleet of four-wheel Vok electric cargo bikes, during the winter period.
- From November 2025 to January 2026, a fleet of Vok ecargo bikes were responsible for delivering around 14,000 parcels, covering 720 miles in total.
- Each ecargo bike travelled roughly 10 miles per delivery day, highlighting how these ecargo bikes can fulfill the crucial final role in a more sustainable delivery chain.
Evri’s Vok ecargo bikes prove their worth over the busy winter period
In what is the busiest period for parcel deliveries in the UK with key holidays such as Christmas, the Vok ecargo bikes still excelled in the cold conditions, with Evri measuring 100% uptime across its entire fleet of electric four-wheeled cargo bikes, and zero servicing required during the period.
The statistics bode well for other cargo firms hoping to make the switch away from larger, more polluting vans, when it comes to last mile deliveries – with Evri’s fleet of Vok bikes proving the reliability of such a solution.
Evri has also reported increased productivity from the use of these compact machines – with a 15% rise in parcel drops per hour, with that boost put down to benefits such as the use of bus and cycle lanes alongside reduced time spent trying to find suitable parking spots.
Luke Turnbull, eCargo Operations Manager at Evri, commented:
“This trial showed that cargo bikes are now capable of offering a comparable alternative to traditional vans in terms of reliability and vehicle load, while outperforming on productivity metrics.
While vans remain better suited for higher mileage, there is a clear operational, environmental, social, and cost benefit to deploying e-cargo bikes on dense, ultra-urban routes.”
Chris Cayford, Operations Manager at Vok Bikes London, added:
“Vok has taken a fundamentally different technological approach to support the growing role of cargo bikes in last-mile logistics. Our pedal-by-wire system with sealed electric components removes many common failure points – no chains, no exposed gearing, and no high-wear mechanical parts.”
