By manzil | Published 2011-03-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deliver-e-trike References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/deliver-e-electric-trike-for-posties/18117/picture/131861/) & [abc.net.au](http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s2909593.htm) Australian designer Simon Williams’ Deliver-E Trike is an emission free, cost-effective and efficient electric three-wheeler that has been designed especially for postal workers. The uniqueness of the bike lies in its “two rear swing arms [that] pivot independently, allowing the vehicle to lean into turns and stand upright when parked at the side of a sloping road,” according to Gizmag. The all-terrain Deliver-E Trike has two electric engines in the front and one on its rear wheels; its special pivoting rear swing-arm lock gives the rider an option to lock the bike in any position and on any terrain. The 120 kg trike goes at a speed of 80 kmph and is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Simon Williams is planning to put the Deliver-E Trike into production once he finds an investor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Tricycles:** Emerging trend in the transportation industry, creating opportunities for eco-friendly and efficient postal delivery systems. - **All-terrain Vehicles:** Growing trend in vehicle design, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities for versatile transportation solutions. - **Emission-free Delivery:** Increasing trend in sustainable logistics, providing opportunities for environmentally friendly postal services. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the postal delivery industry with the adoption of electric tricycles. - **Automotive:** Potential disruption in the automotive industry with the development of all-terrain vehicles for various applications. - **Logistics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the logistics industry by adopting emission-free delivery methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Daily Driver E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotri-m.md) - [Cargo-Carrying Electric Rickshaws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-rickshaws.md) - [Urban E-Bike Logistics Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrider.md) - [Lightweight Electric Trike Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rad-power-bikes-radtrike.md) - [Compact Urban Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev.md) - [Tilting Cargo-Friendly eTrikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trike-flatbed-hybrid-750.md) - [Recumbent Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recumbent-electric-trike.md) - [Compact Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-deliverator.md)
