A taxi and on-demand delivery service using electronically assisted, high-tech cargo bikes to offer a cleaner, faster and cheaper means of transportation. Pedal Me uses highly trained riders within London to carry almost any load, including two adults, which can all be booked through their app.
Between October 2017 and September 2018, Pedal Me generated revenues of more than £125k. They will be allocating investments towards increasing efficiency and improving pickup times.
Funds in this round will be used to add more bikes, riders and use smarter technology. Pedal Me aims to have more than 30 bikes within a 3-mile radius from the city centre. This will result in reducing pickup times to less than 8 minutes from a booking being placed. In addition, the company will 'stack' delivery jobs, which means one rider will be able to carry out multiple orders in a single journey and will therefore allow Pedal Me to keep prices down for customers. Future plans include expanding the service to the rest of the UK and overseas.
