How to buy

“ALECS” is Pashley’s new Articulating Lightweight Electrically-assisted Cargo Solution, designed to carry cargo on a versatile and customer configurable, multi-functional rear platform.

Common Uses:

  • 'Last mile' postal & food deliveries 
  • Cargo transport on industrial sites
  • Transport for tradespeople and service operatives

ALECS has been designed to deliver a low, total cost of ownership. Using carefully selected, high-quality components, it has been tested extensively for robustness and reliability, and has been designed for ease of maintenance with a ‘quick-flip’ access to the under-carriage for servicing. Its narrow width also allows for compact, low-cost storage when not in use, with multiples of five fitting easily in the footprint of a standard UK parking space.

Its unique tilting mechanism (patented design) brings the stability, load carrying and safety benefits of a tricycle whilst providing the agility and handling of a bicycle, making it far more user friendly, safer and accessible for a wide variety of riders. Its articulated frame - and narrow width - allows for easier manoeuvrability in traffic, and its greater cornering stability makes it faster to ride than a conventional cargo trike of the same size.

Designed and made in the UK, ALECS will provide many years of reliable service and is supported by a long-established manufacturer with over 95 years of experience in cargo cycle innovation.

ALECS has been designed for universal use, suitable for riders of height 5ft to 6ft 5" in height. The saddle height can be easily adjusted using one hand - simply pull up the quick-release lever, move the saddle up or down, and push the lever back down to secure.

The maximum saddle height adjustment range is 25cm, providing riders between 150cm and 195.5cm in height a comfortable and safe riding position.

For product dimensions, please see 'Technical Specifications' below.

  • provide advice about cycle maintenance including the assistance we can provide with mechanic training for fleet cycles.
