It depends on how you travel day to day, but an electric bike is often a great fit for shorter trips and city commuting, while a car can make more sense when you regularly need longer range or carry multiple people.

Here are a few practical factors to compare:
• Costs: E-bikes typically cost less to buy and maintain, and charging is usually much cheaper than fueling a car.
• Time and parking: In busy areas, an e-bike can be quicker door-to-door because parking is easier and you can often avoid traffic delays.
• Distance and cargo/passengers: E-bikes are ideal for many local errands and commutes, but a car may be better if you frequently travel longer distances, need to carry larger loads, or transport passengers.
• Weather and comfort: If you ride year-round, consider your local weather and how comfortable you’ll be riding in rain, cold, or heat compared with driving.

Before buying an electric moped-style e-bike, think about range, charging, fit, storage, and the rules where you plan to ride.

Estimate your typical distance and conditions (hills, wind, colder weather) and choose a battery setup that matches. If you can’t charge where you park, a removable battery can make charging much simpler.

Check charge time and where you’ll plug in (standard wall outlet at home, garage, or work). For battery longevity, store the bike and battery in a dry, moderate-temperature space, and if it’s stored for a while, charge it at least once a month.

Make sure the bike fits your body and needs, including seat height, reach, weight capacity, and any cargo or passenger plans. Planning secure storage with a good lock or cover is also important. Guidelines may differ by location.

For most food delivery riders, an e-scooter style ride is often the more practical option because it’s built for easy stop-and-go riding and carrying extra cargo.

A popular delivery choice is the Hornet X.I, especially if you want the option of dual batteries for longer shifts. The batteries are removable, which makes it convenient to charge indoors and store the bike when you’re not riding.

If you prefer a smaller, lighter setup, the Urban T is a solid compact option, and its removable battery also makes charging simple. If you’d rather stick with a bicycle-style frame, models like the Monta Dual can be a good fit when you want a more traditional riding feel.

When choosing a delivery ride, it helps to think about:
• Cargo space and mounting options (rear rack platforms can expand what you can carry)
• Battery capacity and whether you want a second battery option
• Comfort for long hours (seat position, suspension, and stability)
• Service and support access (local dealer availability can make maintenance easier)

We also offer delivery bags in different sizes to match the type of orders you typically carry.

Yes, many scooter-style e-bikes are designed to carry two riders.

It depends on the specific model’s maximum load rating and seat/footrest setup. Some models include an extended seat and rear footrests, and certain EMMO scooter-style models can support up to 280 kg (620 lb), such as NOK and Monster S (84V).

Before riding two-up, check the bike’s motor power and the listed maximum load capacity for your model, and reach out to our team if you’d like help confirming the right fit: https://emmo.ca/pages/contactus
