 How e-bikes beats heavy traffic

 It’s quite obvious that no customer likes it when their order is delayed and they have to wait for it.  In addition to that, delayed order also means cold food which ruins the overall experience of the food.  To overcome this problem many food-delivery businesses provide an estimated time of arrival based on various factors like distance and size of the order; however, it doesn’t factor in bad weather, traffic, lack of parking, and other reasons that might cause delayed orders.

Whatever the reason may be, the bottom line is that the customer won’t be happy with it and this dissatisfaction might reflect in your ratings and review which might seriously damage the reputation of the business and might also result in losing your loyal customers.  E-bikes are the solution to all the above problems. These lightweight vehicles are capable of easily dodging heavy traffic.  Moreover, they easily fit in bike racks across the cities thus making them a perfect vehicle for multiple short trips in a limited radius.  Moreover, they are also cheaper compared to scooters and cars and are easy to maintain.
