A Feel-Good Story: Sipho's Surprise Savings
Sipho had been a last-mile driver long enough to know one truth: petrol was draining his income. Before groceries, data, or helping his mom, he had to fill up—and every week the price climbed again. Then one Friday, his supervisor called him over. “Sipho, we’re rolling out electric bikes. You’ll be one of the first.” He wasn’t convinced—until the first week ended. No petrol slips. No queues. No price hikes. He simply plugged the bike in at home for a few cents. At month-end, his bank balance actually looked fuller. He did the
math: half his income used to disappear into fuel. With the electric bike, he spent less than a loaf of bread a day to charge it. That month he saved. The next, he bought his son new shoes. By month three, he surprised his mother with groceries—without stress. One evening, wiping down the bike, Sipho realised the truth: the bike wasn’t just quiet. It was freedom—freedom from fuel hikes, worry, and barely-breaking-even days. He still delivered the same parcels, but now, every silent kilometre was a step toward a better future.
A Feel-Good Story: Thabo's New Ride
Thabo had been delivering parcels for four years—sun, rain, traffic, and petrol prices that never stopped climbing. Every month felt like a juggling act. Still, he greeted every customer with a smile. One Monday, his manager pointed to a sleek electric bike. "Thabo, we want you to test this." He’d never sat on one before. No petrol smell, no rumble, just a quiet, almost calming hum. On his first ride, he glided through traffic with ease. No fuel stops. No stretching his last R50. By midday, he realised something amazing:
He wasn’t tired. A customer teased, “Thabo, you look like you're flying!” Maybe he was. By week’s end, his deliveries were faster, his shifts shorter, and for the first time in ages, he had energy left for his daughter—and for dreaming. When asked for feedback, he simply said, “I didn’t know work could feel this good. This bike gave me back my day.”
From then on, Thabo wasn’t just delivering parcels. He was delivering joy— to customers, to his family, and quietly, to himself.
Transforming Last-Mile Delivery Through Electric Mobility
Introducing electric bikes into our last-mile fleet improved efficiency, cut costs, and created immediate human impact. Sipho, one of our drivers, quickly reduced his fuel spend by over 80%, with predictable, low charging costs bringing real financial relief. The e-bike also boosted his productivity—less fatigue, faster routes, and smoother navigation
through traffic. For us, that meant consistent delivery times, lower maintenance, and a more efficient fleet. Beyond operations, each electric kilometre supports our sustainability goals. As Sipho said, “It didn’t just save me money. It helped me plan for my future again.” E-mobility is helping us empower drivers, optimise operations, and build a cleaner last-mile network.
