MONTREAL Canada post is testing out a new, greener delivery method to serve customers while reducing traffic especially with the extra deliveries due to online shopping during the pandemic. The solution? Electric cargo trikes. Michael Melanson pedals hundreds of parcels per day with the aid of some battery back-up. His e-trike has different settings to help haul the load. “I keep it in tour or sport mode , and use the turbo mode when going up hills,” he said. “It gives me that extra bit of assistance.” That extra bit of assistance helps ease the back-breaking work Melanson estimates he s pulling almost 500 pounds when fully loaded with mail.
