While cargo e-trikes definitely are a greener, cheaper-to-maintain alternative to delivery vans, their layout is limited by having to accommodate a chain-drive drivetrain. The Yakbike takes a different approach, as its drivetrain is electronic.

    Or if you’re worried about the chain taking up too much vertical space then you could use a crank shaft and a pinion gear at each end.
