Honda wants to move deliveries off the road and into bike lanes with this quad
Honda is advancing its Fastport delivery quadcycle, a four-wheeled electric cargo vehicle designed for short-range, intra-city deliveries. With a 650lb capacity, 12mph top speed, and 23 miles of range, it's ideal for urban areas like Manhattan and San Francisco. The vehicle features easily swappable 2 x 1.3kWh batteries, each weighing 22lbs, to extend its range if needed.
Honda is moving forward with its Fastport delivery quadcycle, and we got a chance to see it up close and take it for a quick spin.
We told you about Honda’s 4-wheeled delivery vehicle back in June, and we were excited about the idea of right-sizing delivery vehicles in urban centers that are often clogged with car traffic.
To catch you up, it’s a four-wheeled electric cargo vehicle that Honda has been working on for short-range, intra-city deliveries. It has 650lb capacity and a 12mph top speed, with 23 miles of range.
That’s not a huge range number, but we’re talking about cities here – Manhattan is 13×2 miles, San Francisco is 7×7 miles, for example. Also, the 2 x 1.3kWh batteries are 22lbs each and easily swappable if you need a little more juice.
