The
electric cargo bikes market is witnessing continually rising revenues. This growth majorly attributes to the wide uptake of these bikes by eCommerce and online food delivery companies. Rising adoption of e-cargo delivery bikes, especially in cities with dense populations, noise & air pollution, and parking & traffic issues, is a major driving force behind the substantial market rise.
Electric-assisted cargo bikes (e-cargo bikes) are designed for rugged outdoor uses and can carry goods and heavy equipments. Many food delivery workers have been using e-bikes for several years as they offer cost-effective transport solutions. E-commerce and food delivery businesses skyrocketed during the year 2020 due to the pandemic, expanding the demand for home deliveries.

Although nobody could be as rude as British television commentator Terry Wogan used to be, the Dutch are going to take a stab this year as they present the Eurovision Song Contest from Rotterdam.
For those who don’t remember the epic moment when Duncan Laurence sang a haunting ballad called ‘Arcade’, back in 2019, the Netherlands won last time. This means the country has the joy, cost and (as it turns out) zero-tourism benefit of hosting the battle of tonsil-wobbling from countries loosely associated with Europe, like Australia.
Traditionally, Eurovision tells us, ‘six countries are automatically pre-qualified for the Grand Final. The so-called “Big 5” – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom – and the host country.’ Fair? Who said anything was fair in geography?
