The eDVs have a top speed of 45km/h and like traditional postie bicycles, e-bikes and motorbikes, can be used on footpaths. “These vehicles offer additional carrying capacity, so our posties can deliver more parcels than ever before directly to the customer’s door – and can perform additional functions, such as collecting mail from street posting boxes.” Could posties pave the way for footpath riding? They are easier to see on the road, more stable, have increased rider protection and lower on-road speeds, all of which reduce a postie’s exposure to incidents and serious accidents."

The eDVs have capacity for large parcels and deliveries from online retailers that could be difficult for traditional postie bikes or motorcycles to carry.Īustralia Post Group Chief Operating Officer, Bob Black, said that they will be safer and more efficient than motorcycles. The have also ordered 1,000 of the new electric delivery vehicles (eDVs) which have been developed to suit the needs of the modern postie. Posties around Australia are about to hit the pavement on a fleet of new e-bikes and special three-wheeled electric delivery vehicles.Ĥ,000 new e-bikes will be rolled out around the country by Australia Post to bring their e-bike fleet to 5,980 over the next three years.
