Midipile micro-utility vehicles are intermediate vehicles, the missing link between the bicycle and the electric van. This vehicle is a pedal-powered, electrically-assisted micro-utility. It has an enclosed body and 4 wheels for maximum safety and comfort. The semi-recumbent pedalling position is the most comfortable and ergonomic on the market. It carries 300kg of payload (3x more than an average cargo bike and 2x less than a van) and is 1m wide, so it can be parked just about anywhere, making it very agile in urban environments. It can be fitted with a trailer. It's a robust and simple vehicle. It is designed to optimise repair costs over time. The vehicles are connected and use data from the field to build made-to-measure services. Il est l'heure, il est MIDIPILE !

The Environmental Benefits

  • The vehicle is 10 times less polluting than a diesel-powered light commercial vehicle.
  • Lightweight and compact, at just 90 cm wide, it can fit anywhere, especially in city centres. More, it can carry up to 300 kg of payload.
  • It consumes very little energy, with electricity costing just €2 per 100 km.
  • The vehicle is 10 times less polluting than a diesel-powered light commercial vehicle (GMG Emissions)
  • We propose active pedaling vehicles, light and slow.
