All of us are very much familiar with the e-scooters buzzing on the streets across the world. According to the latest article on TechCrunch, Domino’s is jumping into the competition by starting using the custom electric bikes. They are starting the use of custom electric bikes for pizza delivery through a partnership with Rad Power Bikes.

Domino’s wishes to become more competitive with the successful on-demand food delivery apps like DoorDash, GrubHub and UberEats. The company will be deploying across corporate-owned stores later this year.

Domino’s is a company specializing in pizza. The company is facing tough competition from the on-demand delivery apps like UberEats and other such services which offer customers far more choices. Domino’s was never able to offer enough menu options. The company was not able to compete with the on-demand food delivery apps like DoorDash or UberEats and other such services but it is trying its best to compete on the service and delivery times.

The e-bike report comes as Domino’s which has pizza as its specialty is facing intensifying competition from on-demand delivery apps like UberEats. These companies offer their customers more food options. Domino’s could never offer enough menu options to compete with the food delivery apps offering a variety of choices to the user but it can compete on service and delivery times.

Domino’s is deploying the e-bikes as a part of that plan. The company has partnered with companies like Ford to test its pizza delivery with the help of autonomous vehicles.

In the early summer, they had launched a new pilot for self-driving pizza delivery in the city of Houston. They are doing it in partnership with Nuro. Domino’s will be using Nuro’s R2 vehicle, its second-generation autonomous electric test car. They are putting it into service later this year.

The e-bikes are supplied by Rad Power Bikes. These bikes are equipped with small integrated devices to assist with pedaling and can run for 25 to 40 miles. This running speed depends on the user before needing a recharge, as per the company. The bikes are implemented with lights in the front and back. They also have reflective materials for driver safety. These bikes also have a top aided speed of 20 miles per hour.

The e-bikes have been customized to hold pizza, drinks and other side dishes that the company has to offer. Each of the e-bikes is capable of holding up to 12 large pizzas. The e-bikes are tested by the company to discover if they are able to provide improved service and delivery times. Domino’s executive vice president of corporate operations, Tom Curtis declared in an announcement that the company is planning on giving tough competition in terms of service and delivery speed.

The e-bikes have also initiated the employment pool for the company. Now the company can tap into candidates who might not have a car or driver’s license.

Some franchisee partners were already using e-bikes. They could guess how these e-bikes are essential in hilly urban areas.

The traditional bikes solved the traffic and parking issues. But the hills in Seattle were tough even for the best cyclists of Domino. This was confirmed by Greg Keller who is a Domino’s franchisee in Seattle. However, he also declared that the e-bike program was a game-changer for them. They have been delivering with the e-bikes for 3 years. They could save money and even provide their customers with much better services. They could also provide more employment and at the same time, they could maintain a happy workforce.
