A Vancouver-based startup is designing the Scootility utilitarian electric cargo scooter as a last-mile solution to urban haulage operations. The Canadian company is seeking to bridge the huge demand gap for such utilitarian cargo bikes in urban areas. The Scootility is a portmanteau of scooter and utility, with a compact design. It is being promoted as a viable alternative for last-mile delivery of cargo.

Features & Availability

The Scootility is currently at the prototype stage but production is scheduled to commence in a year. The Scootility comes with a unique design that separates it from the traditional electric bike. It draws design inspiration from Segway models with a column handle for easy maneuverability. It allows the rider to stand up and ride while the cargo is placed in a covered box in front of the eves.

The lockable cargo box of the Scootility is a waterproof box with a capacity of 140 liters. The delivery box is quite handy, as it can be taken off and replaced with a swappable option. The scooter has a narrow footprint in traffic and can be used for delivering medication or supplies in difficult-to-reach areas. The Scootility prototype has full suspension and 16-inch wheels at the front together with 13-inch rear wheels. The rear wheels allow more space for the cargo box with utility considerations.

The Scootility has a foldable leg rest which doubles as a glove compartment. It also has a long steering column and handle that is foldable for easy storage. It has LED lighting and it has a small turning radius. The Scootility comes with a lithium battery that can deliver a range of 100km and the battery is swappable.

Scootility is seeking funding for the scooter but the company has not provided the release optics of the bike. The price of the bike is also not known yet. It is expected that the Scootility will garner lots of interest due to its excellent functionality.
