RYTLE, a German company, has developed the MovR3 electric cargo bike with a feature that allows the driver to quickly swap out empty cargo boxes for full ones. This system is similar to how semi-trailers can drop empty trailers and pick up full ones, making it ideal for a delivery micro-hub system. By bringing pre-loaded cargo boxes to micro-hubs, drivers can make last-mile deliveries with zero tailpipe emissions, reducing carbon emissions and pollutants in urban logistics.
E-cargo bikes offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to gas- or diesel-powered vehicles for last-mile deliveries and other urban logistics operations. These bikes are equipped with features commonly found on delivery trucks, along with heavy-duty components for safe and efficient fleet operations. RYTLE’s MovR3 is designed specifically for commercial urban logistics, using motorcycle components for stability and increased payload options in daily operations.
The MovR3 is powered by two 125W Heinzmann rear hub motors, offering five levels of pedal assist and a top speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). It features a pair of removable AES batteries with a range of up to 25 km, expandable to 50 km with spare batteries. With suspension on all sides, LED lighting, turn signals, a reverse mode, and a front windshield and canopy for weather protection, the MovR3 ensures a comfortable and efficient ride for the driver.
With a payload capacity of 370 kg (815 lb) and a 1.8 cubic meter volume, the MovR3 can carry a significant amount of cargo. The exchangeable RYTLE BOX, equipped with wheels on the bottom, can be loaded onto the bike using the onboard electric pallet lift. Additionally, the MovR3 can transport standard Euro pallets using the onboard lift, enabling efficient loading and unloading for quick response to logistical requirements.
The MovR3 is priced at €21,038 ($22,565), with financing options starting at €329 per month, including leasing or rent-to-own choices. RYTLE also offers subsidies such as the BAFA funding in Germany, providing up to EUR 2,500 per e-cargo bike as a subsidy. The company provides SmarT fleet software for real-time data tracking and management, monitoring speed, battery status, vehicle location, maintenance, and repairs.
Overall, the RYTLE MovR3 electric cargo bike offers a sustainable and efficient solution for urban logistics, with its innovative design, advanced features, and eco-friendly performance. By combining the benefits of electric mobility with the practicality of a cargo bike, RYTLE is leading the way towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for last-mile deliveries and commercial operations in urban areas.
