Whistl posties trial green AirWheelJust hours after rebranding from TNT Post UK, Whistl is trying to claim the higher ground when it comes to the environment by trialling deliveries using the eco-friendly AirWheel in cities across Britain.
Specially selected posties are being trained to operate the AirWheel, with the aim of providing a speedier and more efficient service to customers.
A self-balancing rechargeable electric unicycle, the AirWheel Q3 model has a 20 mile range and a top speed of 12mph. It also “self-charges” when going downhill, and can legally go wherever pedestrians go – from parks to pavements and even across sand and dirt tracks. The AirWheel is steered via an internal gyro-stabiliser with riders leaning forward or back to control speed.
Whistl chief executive Nick Wells said: “We’ve got a long track record of innovation in the UK postal sector and this radical new delivery device grabbed our attention. Our team have had fun getting to grips with the gadget and it’s gone down well with customers too. We are committed to ongoing efficiency and if the trial proves successful then the AirWheel will be adopted by whistl Posties across the UK.”
Sam Parham, the founder of TheAirWheel.com – the exclusive UK distributors of the product – said: “We were delighted when Whistl approached us about trialling the Q3 – the AirWheel has so much potential for use in many diverse situations and couldn’t be better suited to urban deliveries.”
