Unveiling the Pashley Multi-trike & Multi-pod: A Chain-Less Cargo Revolution

In a significant stride towards sustainable commuting, Pashley, the distinguished British bicycle manufacturer, has unveiled its latest innovation at the Cenex-LCV event today. The Pashley Multi-trike is an eco-friendly, chain-less cargo concept designed to cater to the evolving needs of those looking for new mobility options.

A Revolutionary Approach to Electric Trikes

Unlike conventional electric trikes, the Pashley Multi-trike takes a unique approach to power its wheels. It employs a generator located at the pedal crank, which activates battery-driven motors on each of its rear wheels. This ‘drive-by-wire’ system simplifies the mechanics and makes it incredibly user-friendly. Riders can hop on the saddle, start pedaling, and let the eDriveIN system provide up to 70Nm of torque to each rear wheel.

Combining the Best of Bicycles and Tricycles

Pashley’s Multi-trike bridges the gap between bicycles and tricycles. It offers the stability of a tricycle while maintaining the agility and simplicity of a bicycle. This hybridization results in a seamless and enjoyable riding experience, making it accessible to a broad range of cyclists.

Enhanced Cargo Carrying Capabilities

One of the standout features of the Multi-trike is its innovative cargo box. Pashley’s ‘Multi-Pod’ boasts a 240-liter capacity, akin to that of a standard supermarket trolley. The cargo box also includes a lockable lid, a built-in headrest, and a fold-down seat. These features make it perfect for carrying one or two children, along with your shopping or other essentials.

Versatility at Its Core

Pashley has designed the Multi-trike with versatility in mind. It offers various options for rear boxes, allowing users to customize their cargo configuration. Whether you need a flat-bed or a pick-up style setup, this adaptable trike can accommodate your specific needs.

A Low Carbon Footprint for a Sustainable Future

Pashley, renowned for its commitment to sustainability, has created the Multi-trike with a minimal carbon footprint. By offering an eco-friendly alternative for daily commuting and cargo transportation, Pashley contributes to a cleaner and greener environment.

Availability and Pricing

The Pashley Multi-trike is set to enter production in the first half of 2024. While pricing details are yet to be finalized, it is expected to be in the region of £6,500. This forward-thinking innovation reaffirms Pashley’s dedication to providing practical and sustainable transportation solutions for both business and consumer markets.
