Problem
Urban last‑mile logistics and personal cargo transport rely on heavy, emissions‑intensive vans or manually pulled trailers, which are inefficient for short trips and limit payload capacity for cyclists and walkers.

The system includes a smart drawbar that senses pull or push forces and drives the wheel accordingly, enabling effortless uphill travel and heavy loads up to 250 kg. Delivered flat‑packed, the kit features swappable batteries and customizable shells, allowing users to adapt range (up to 80 miles) and form factor to their specific needs. Integrated IoT sensors provide real‑time status monitoring, security alerts, and connectivity through a cloud interface, ensuring reliable operation and easy fleet management.
Target Audience
