As from the end of 2023, Riva EV Mobility acts as official importer and distributor for Mubea U-Mobility’s e-cargo-bikes in the Dutch market.

“Mubea and Riva both share the conviction that urban mobility will be shaped by future-oriented, space-saving mobility solutions – efficiently, electrified and emission-free,” explains Dr. Stefan Cuber, managing director of the micromobility business unit of automotive supplier Mubea, and adds: “With a partner as strong as Riva EV Mobility we will be contributing to an intelligent and eco-friendly urban logistics becoming as commonplace in Dutch cities as individual private cycling.”

 

Shaping the market for e-cargo-bikes in the Netherlands together

Riva EV Mobility is part of the Riva Group and a well-known name in the Dutch world of trade. Besides its core automotive business, the company specializes in promoting and supporting sustainable mobility solutions. Offering e-bikes, last-mile transporters and, from now on, also e-cargo-bikes by Mubea, Riva EV Mobility provides a broad range of emission-free und eco-friendly transport options. Riva general manager Thijs Pitlo comments on this new partnership: “For us, the co-operation with Mubea U-Mobility is another important step to sustainably extend our product portfolio. With this association, two companies with lots of experience in mobility join forces, and they both command the know-how and the capacity to serve the coming growth segment of heavy-duty cargo-bikes in the long run.”

For, according to Pitlo, city logistics is an enormous growth market: “The introduction of zero-emission zones will change urban logistics drastically. However, not everybody needs to own an e-transporter or wants to buy one. In this case, e-cargo-bikes are a viable and cost-saving alternative. We are assuming that we will be able to import around 200 e-cargo-bikes within the next twelve months.” The opening of the Wittebrug E-motive Center in Den Haag on 07 March marks the official inauguration of this promising partnership. During the event, it will mainly be the vehicles by Mubea U-Mobility that will be presented as part of Riva EV Mobility’s product portfolio.
