Dutch healthcare aids provider Medipoint spotlights their fleet of LEVA-EU member Fulpra’s electric cargo bikes, as a part of the ‘Week of the Circular Economy’.

Fulpra’s electric cargo bikes have been used by Medipoint mechanics and delivery drivers in the centre of Amsterdam since 2021. Medipoint – which provides disability aids and mobility equipment to support daily living – have been proactively using this sustainable transport solution, making it possible to efficiently deliver small orders and provide service throughout the Dutch capital.

Delivery driver Louis Hoffman of Medipoint is happy with the electric cargo bike. “It’s nice to keep moving in the open air. In addition, you avoid all kinds of parking problems in busy cities.” Hoffman’s colleague Jason van Beusekom agrees that the Fulpras remove many of the issues associated with delivering by van or truck in busy city streets, all of which brings other benefits too. Hoffman remarked: “It’s also nice that you have just a little more time for the customer.”

In a social media post the company wrote: “With the electric cargo bike and other sustainable steps, we are greening our fleet, encouraging electric driving and investing in charging stations. Together we work towards a greener future!”
