Company mission
URB-E's mission is to enable fast and clean last-mile delivery for major retailers and e-commerce companies.
78% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Last-mile delivery trucks account for a high proportion of urban traffic. URB-E solves this problem by replacing delivery trucks with container bikes.
Compared to traditional truck and van deliveries, URB-E's electric container bikes are faster and cleaner. This has proved to be a big draw for companies operating in high-density urban areas such as LA. The continued rise of e-commerce and online retail has caused demand for services such as URB-E's to rise dramatically, something which the company has so far succeeded in exploiting.
URB-E's main challenge will be competing with other similar delivery solutions, especially as it sets its sights on expanding to new markets. However, the company's high media profile and solid footing in LA will help to ensure it remains competitive.
