Civilized Cycles, founded in 2016 by Zachary Schieffelin and working out of Newlab Detroit at Michigan Central, is on a mission to revolutionize last-mile delivery and fleet operations.
Its target customers are organizations that move large volumes of goods over short distances, including universities, corporate campuses, municipalities, and the military.
These businesses face a significant challenge: transporting as much cargo as possible while minimizing operating costs. Traditionally, they’ve relied on vans and trucks, which are expensive to own and operate. Utility vehicles and electric cargo bikes, while less expensive, simply lack the cargo capacity to meet their needs.
Civilized Cycles has developed the Semi-Trike, which combines a bicycle-class trike with an articulating trailer, creating a compact yet efficient cargo carrier.
Using patented self-leveling air suspension technology, the Semi-Trike can safely transport 200 cubic feet of cargo — equivalent to a full-sized van. This, coupled with lower operating costs, makes the Semi-Trike a compelling alternative to traditional delivery vehicles, according to the company.
