Norfolk County Council has received funding from The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to run an E-Cargo Bike project within the Air Quality Management Zone in Norwich. Electric Cargo bikes also known as E-Cargo bikes are electric bicycles designed and constructed specifically for transporting loads (e.g food items, hardware, consumer parcels). They also boast considerably lower operating cost than vans and are nimble enough to provide a practical solution for small / medium local freight, including last mile delivery. The project will allow businesses to try E-Cargo bikes for a fixed term, at no cost, businesses will receive support on all elements of how they can implement e-cargo bikes into their work. This survey will help shape an e-cargo bike library for businesses in Norwich city centre and we hope that you make use of the E-Cargo Bike library when it is operational. The E-Cargo bikes will be available from July 2023 and the pilot will run at least until March 2025. The survey is accessible through the link below and closes on 23.59 on Sunday 7th May norfolk.citizenspace.com/environment-transport-and-development/travel-norfolk-e-cargo-bikes-for-business
