Technological advancements are expanding the applications of cargo bikes, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional delivery methods. This study explores the emerging technologies and innovations that enhance the efficiency and appeal of cycle logistics; and examines their applicability and implementation on last-mile delivery in urban and rural areas. A structured technology screening process is employed to assess innovations across six categories: vehicles, drive systems, infrastructure and logistics, digitalisation, automation, and sustainability. Drawing on research papers, pilot projects and market use cases, the research identifies relevant technologies and evaluates their readiness, hence provides a systematic understanding of how technological advancements contribute to cycle logistics. This is followed by workshops with key stakeholders in six model regions and communes in Germany. In which, participatory mapping and a serious game are employed to first, gain contextual understandings of the communities; second, to interactively transfer knowledge from the technology screening; and third, to provoke discussions and ideas among the participants on how these bike-related technologies can serve local logistics demands. The discussion results demonstrate the potentials of cycle logistics in alleviating congestion, reducing carbon emissions and improving delivery efficiency, while addressing the obstacles that cycle logistics might encounter. These call the existing mobility assumptions into question and provide new perspectives for politicians, transport planners and logistics practitioners.
