VUF Bikes – Electrically assisted cargo bikes for professionals operating in urban areas or on tourist and industrial sites.
Developed in 2014 in France, VUF Bikes provides a solution to Sustainable cities & communities, – in line with sustainable development goals for the future.
- VUF is equipped with an internally developed pendulum steering, which makes it possible to correct slopes and prevent the load from tipping over in bends – comfortable, safe and similar to a two-wheeled bicycle.
- VUF is very modular thanks to its removable fixing plate & its hitch ball, which allow it to be equipped with body, bin or trailer depending on the activity and the need.
- The VUF, in addition to electric assist, has a dual transmission allowing it to tow more load than a normal cargo bike effortlessly.
- A light commercial vehicle (LCV) emits 25 kg of CO2 equivalent per day – replacing them with bike-cargo solutions would eliminate these emissions and help reduce pollution by 99% / km.
- With ≈ 6 times smaller environmental footprint than a motor vehicle for equivalent quantities of loads, volumes or people transported, VUF is a solution for urban decongestion.
- Replacing LCVs with cargo bikes would eliminate noise pollution calculated at 150 decibels per LCV.
- In LCV, the delivery person spends 25% of the time in an urban environment is spent in traffic making VUF 4 times faster.
- On a cargo bike, the cost of use is divided by 10 and the cost of purchase by 3.
