Description:
The Lithuanian company is engaged in the design and manufacturing of velomobiles (pedal cars, velo cars) for business and personal daily use. In the start-up phase back in 2014 the company has designed several four-wheel pedal car prototypes and now offers the main product - cargo velomobile for the last mile delivery companies and post services providers, couriers, and other small businesses or daily users.
The velomobile has quite a few key features that make it the best solution in the cities for the last mile delivery:
- 250 W e-power assistance in accordance with standard EU 15194:2017.
- Possibility to drive on bike roads, sidewalks, squares and etc. as a regular bike.
- The width of less than 80 cm allows driving along narrow paths.
- The weight of the velomobile is only approx. 100 kg and the carying capacity is 280-300 kg depending on the driver's weight, speed, and tires.
- A big box for carrying goods made of aluminum, side entrance for easy access to the cargo.
- Velomobile's frame is made of aluminum and the chassis is made of stainless steel.
- The roof and front windshield provide protection from sun and rain.
- Lights and signals, back view mirrors are installed.
- Two 10.4 AH 36 V batteries are mounted as a standard kit, the driving range is about 50 km.
- Safe speed up to 25 km/h with power assistance and 4 wheels give the possibility to ride fast and smooth through corners.
- Very comfortable driver's position and driving, four-wheel suspension, recumbent seat position.
Also, this cargo velomobile can be easily modified to the other purpose pedal car:
- Smaller or bigger cargo box. The box can be made according to the client’s preferences.
- Platform instead of the cargo box.
- Children's seat with a small cargo place.
- 2 children seats with a roof and a small cargo place.
- Extra semi-trailer instead of a box. That would provide more volume for the box and increase cargo lifting capacity (cargo weight without driver) up to 200 kg.
- Ice cream box or machine, coffee machine and etc.
- Insulated box or freezer.
- Passenger’s seat – similar to a rickshaw – for taxi or Uber, or other similar business.
- Food containers for food delivery.
- Empty velomobile chassis (without a windshield, top roof, box, lights and etc.) with a possibility for the client to create a unique body.
- Advertisement frame can be installed.
Velomobile is the best solution for last-mile delivery, post services, and other delivery companies in city centers and other car crowded and narrow spaces.
Currently, the company is seeking to expand abroad and is looking for business partners (agents, distributors, companies - users of related products, etc.) in Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands (other regions are also welcome).
Cooperation under commercial trade agreement, distribution services agreement or manufacturing agreement would be offered to potential partners.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The Lithuanian company is seeking to expand with its products (velomobiles) abroad and is looking for partners:
- who could introduce cargo velomobile to post services, couriers, the last mile delivery, or other similar transportation companies that could use cargo velomobiles for their delivery services;
- who could introduce cargo velomobile to rent and sharing, taxi, and private passenger carrier service companies. Cargo velomobile could be used as the target for rent and share;
- who could sell cargo velomobiles to other end users: businesses (not only related to post services and delivery) and personal users.
Commercial agency agreement and distribution agency agreement could be appropriate forms for cooperation.
Besides this, the company can customize the velomobile to the needs of each client, so a manufacturing agreement could be offered as well.
