Pedal Me
Logistics and taxi company in London
Pedal Me is an e-cargo bike logistics company in London. The company was founded in 2017 by Benjamin Knowles, a transport planner, Rob Sargent, an astrophysicist and technologist, and Chris Dixon, a National Standards Instructor for Cycling.[1][2][3][4][5]
The company normally operates within 9 miles of Central London,[6] using bikes built by Urban Arrow in the Netherlands which can carry two adult passengers.[3] The company also offers cargo deliveries, which have significantly outstripped the number of journeys carrying passengers.[7] In a trial run by TfL, the company's riders dropped off construction materials from Wood Green to Whitechapel faster than a van. The contractor plans to continue receiving deliveries by bike.[8] In May 2019, the charity Sustrans decided to use Pedal Me to move all of their office equipment 2.7 miles across London.[9]
The company employs 45 people.[10] As of November 2019, it has 42 bikes in its fleet.[11]
In February 2024, Pedalme entered administration wiping out all of its shareholders citing unpaid tax bills. The company was bought out of administration by unnamed existing shareholders. [12]
