Switching to cargo bikes shouldn’t be complicated, risky, or capital-intensive. With the launch of Vok Ride, businesses can now integrate cargo bikes into their daily operations more easily than ever.
Available exclusively to London businesses, Vok Ride is a fully inclusive cargo bike rental service designed for operating in dense urban environments. From parcel delivery and food services to trades and facility management, Vok Ride removes the traditional barriers to switching away from vans and towards cleaner, more efficient urban logistics.

London Businesses Need a New Logistics Model
London is consistently ranked the most congested city in Europe, with drivers losing 101 hours sitting in traffic in 2024, and congestion costing the capital an estimated £3.85 billion in lost productivity.
Electric vans and cars are helping reduce emissions across the city. But when it comes to dense urban centres, they still face the same fundamental challenge as traditional vehicles: traffic and limited road space.
Cargo bikes are increasingly recognised as part of the solution. Transport for London estimates cargo bikes could replace up to 17% of van-kilometres in central London by 2030. They are faster in dense city centres, require far less space, and are a more efficient tool for short, frequent urban journeys.
Making Cargo Bikes Easily Accessible
Despite growing recognition, adoption has been slowed by familiar barriers. For many businesses, the biggest obstacles are upfront investment, uncertainty about operational fit, and the risk of disrupting existing fleets.
Vok Ride is built to remove those concerns.
Starting from £79 per week (billed monthly; prices shown ex. VAT), businesses gain access to a complete cargo bike solution with predictable operating costs and minimal operational risk.
Instead of committing to a fleet purchase, companies can test cargo bikes in real-world operations before making long-term decisions – providing a low-risk pathway to modernising urban logistics.
Vok Ride is not simply a rental service. It’s a practical transition model for businesses looking to move away from vans without operational disruption.
Built for Daily Work in Central London
Vok Ride is available exclusively to businesses and tailored to the realities of operating in the heart London.
The service supports a wide range of use cases, including:
- Parcel and food delivery services
- Trades such as plumbers, electricians, and handymen
- Facility management and city maintenance teams
- Any business needing reliable urban transport between sites, depots, or suppliers
Businesses can choose between two cargo bike sizes depending on their operational needs:
- Vok S (Standard) with 400 litres of cargo capacity
- Vok XL (Extra Large) with 2,000 litres of cargo capacity
Each bike comes with a rechargeable battery offering up to 30 miles of range, ideal for daily urban routes. Unlike electric cars and vans, the removable Vok battery can be charged indoors and on-premises, eliminating the need for dedicated charging infrastructure.
Reliable by Design: Predictable Costs and 99% Uptime
For businesses, reliability matters just as much as sustainability.
Vok cargo bikes are built around a modern pedal-by-wire drivetrain, a technology rarely seen in cargo bikes until recently. By removing traditional chains and many mechanical wear components, the system significantly reduces maintenance needs and servicing downtime.
The result is a vehicle designed for daily commercial use with predictable operating costs and up to 99% uptime.
Combined with the agility of a cargo bike and the capacity of a small van, this makes Vok particularly suited for city centres where conventional vehicles – and simpler cargo bikes – struggle to compete.
