The Future of Affordable Delivery Vehicles in NYC
New York City runs on delivery. But many delivery workers are forced into transportation choices that are expensive, unreliable, or hard to store. Meanwhile, most urban trips are short—often under 3 miles.
The future isn’t about bigger vehicles. It’s about affordable vehicles built for dense city living.
Why cars don’t fit the modern city worker
Cars can cost thousands per year, and they create daily friction:
- parking trouble
- traffic delays
- high maintenance
- fuel costs
- storage constraints
For people working hard just to stay afloat, these costs don’t feel like “transportation.” They feel like a burden.
Why typical bikes and scooters aren’t enough
Bikes and scooters are helpful—but not for everyone. Many riders need:
- cargo capacity
- protection in rain and cold
- a vehicle that can be stored in small apartments
- more stability under load
What NYC actually needs
NYC needs a delivery vehicle that is:
- low-cost to operate
- compact and space-saving
- cargo-capable
- all-weather ready
- built around useful practicality
EZGlyd is building toward that: a foldable cargo scooter with a foldable cover, designed for people who need a real daily tool—not a luxury gadget.
