1) Why Vertical Storage Will Change Urban Last-Mile Logistics
Cities aren’t built for delivery vehicles. Most couriers work in tight spaces—small apartments, crowded sidewalks, narrow hallways, packed restaurants, and limited building storage. That’s why vertical storage isn’t a “nice feature.” It’s a breakthrough for last-mile logistics.
The real bottleneck: space, not speed
Last-mile delivery is often discussed like a speed problem. But in dense cities like New York, the bigger issue is where vehicles live when they’re not moving. Riders need something that can be stored safely at home, brought inside a business, or secured without blocking a sidewalk.
Traditional bikes and scooters are awkward to store. Full-size cargo options take up significant floor space. And leaving vehicles outside creates theft risk and daily stress.
Vertical storage makes practical micromobility possible
A delivery vehicle designed for vertical storage changes the whole equation:
- Fits into small living spaces
- Reduces sidewalk clutter
- Makes “bring it inside” realistic
- Supports safer storage and better daily routine
With vertical storage, a cargo-capable vehicle becomes compatible with the real world of city life—small rooms, tight stairwells, and shared building entryways.
Why EZGlyd is building around this
EZGlyd is building a new kind of micromobility: a foldable cargo scooter designed for urban realities. The goal is simple: useful practicality—a vehicle that delivers utility without demanding extra space.
If most trips are under 3 miles, the best vehicle isn’t the biggest or fastest. It’s the one you can actually own, store, and use every day—especially when you rely on it for work.
