This week Oliver interviews Adam Barmby from EAV, the electric cargo bike manufacturer based in the UK.

When Amazon launched their 'micromobility hub' in the UK recently, an EAV bike was the pictured bike used in promotional material for the announcement.

Micromobility for freight hasn’t been discussed a lot on the podcast, and it was really exciting to unpack the implications of Micromobility and see how it conforms to the thesis that Horace and Oliver have been weighing out of the last couple of years.

It is especially exciting to hear that EAV is fundamentally changing the business model of last mile delivery, where interestingly more than half of the cost of delivery is incurred. Adam was part of the Micromobility Accelerate pitch contest that in the recent Micromobility Europe conference in June.

Specifically they tackle:

The background for EAV and how it came to be founded
What EAV builds, and why it matters impact of cargo vans in cities
Their traction to date including recent business development deals and the sales pipeline to operators working for large ecommerce platforms.
The fundraising journey so far
