- NRBI (near.by) Hyper-local Logistics is based here in Toronto, Canada.
Toronto is easily one of the most congested major cities in North America clogged with delivery vehicles such as trucks and vans, personal vehicles and construction at every corner and seemingly getting worse with more development as the city continues to grow.
nrbi is on a mission to transform urban logistics and create healthier, more liveable cities.
Whether you’re a local independent shop, multi-store business, online retailer, or wholesaler, they can help by providing zero emission deliveries.
They use a fleet of high capacity electric cargo bikes, including the Babboe Pro Trike XL and micro-hubs setup throughout the city so we can offer flexible, cost effective and green delivery service.
If you are looking for a cargo bike for professional or personal use check out curbsidecycle.com
and if you are in Toronto seeking local delivery, nrbi is your one of the leading cargo bike delivery companies: www.nrbi.co/

Very nice concept, not only is this better for the environment it's pretty and probably more cost effective than a van!
Way to go, Dave!!! Keep it going.
Keep it going. Can't wait to see the e-cargo bike revolution in downtown Toronto. I believe NRBI will make a lot of money soon.
Nice design 👌🏻Wish you and all other green transport pioneers success.
Bravo!
Those reverse trikes could use some suspension.
You are gosh dang right. bumpy ride!
@@CurbsideCycle Most likely due to the thin tires too. Chunky tires are where it's at.
Nobody has yet designed a cargo bike which can be used by a wheelchair user with a foldout market stall and craft work desk.
Good idea.
UPS and Fedx, and now Amazon, either park illegally or the driver has to walk a long distance to deliver the package.
This way they can go to right in front of the residence on the sidewalk and nobody cares, it'll take only a few second of wait..
I sold one of the cargo bikes I made to someone in T.O.
Great company. In the video towards the end, you show people riding cargo bikes without helmets. It isn't mandatory for adults, but in a city where Vision Zero is only a dream, I believe that you shouldn't encourage bicycle riding without a helmet.
The motor industry is one of the biggest promoters of cycle helmets, because if they can make cycling look so dangerous that you need to wear a helmet to do it, then perhaps people will still buy cars instead of bikes.
Globally 1.25million people die every year in car crashes. Compare that to cycling deaths and I think you will see which form of transport is the more dangerous. I know that more people drive cars than ride bicycles, but even so, it is still a lot of wasted life.
We highly encourage cycling helmets and sell very nice ones that are comfortable for most head shapes. However, there are pieces of b-roll that we did not create and were shot in Europe where wearing a helmet is actually not common at all.
Great doc.
Well done guys.
Do your drivers also have to ride home after riding all day in heat and cold? Perhaps it would be merciful to provide them with on-site lodging so they have a place to collapse for the night, sparing them that torment.
Look at lithium mines and lithium waste for how truly 'green' this actually is. 🙄 Electric is the future but not as long as lithium-based cells are being utilized.
This is just a copycat of all the different variety of cargo bikes that have been used in Mexico for decades. They have cargo bikes to haul anything and everything, supplies to high tech food carts. Nothing new, but the price.
That's great. This would be the same for many other places as well. But now, the challenge is to get most ciities in North America to kick into gear cargo-bikes as well. That's the task.
I agree to a certain degree that this has been done in other places for years but Canadian cities don't have a rich history of using Cargo bikes. The e-assist is a pretty amazing update that increases the chances of succeeding with heavy loads through all kinds of weather.
You're a real "glass half empty" type aren't you?
