UPS in Portland will use an electric-assist tricycle to make their deliveries. This is a huge potential of a large corporation and business sector - local delivery services using larger e-trikes as a part of their delivery system and cleaning up the environment. The Portland UPS already uses bicycles for smaller parcels and on a seasonal basis. This e-trike is capable of delivering larger packages, capacity payload up to 600 pounds. They have a windshield and top cover for the driver and could navigate around tight urban networks. They are built locally in Portland's Truck Trikes. The 250 lbs human-electric trike has a separated drive train, a front wheel drive pedal system, electric hub motors at the rear wheels and a covered low cargo bed
