The largest Pizza Hut franchisee in California, American West Restaurant Group, announced it will partner with ElectraMeccanica to buy a fleet of Solo Cargo delivery vehicles for its restaurants—and add a warm cargo box to keep your pizza toasty in transit.

Better than on a moped or bicycle. It'd be cool to commute in one of these.

But how about compared to a regular sedan and non lifted pickup?

Probably cheaper. Most pizza places don't use dedicated delivery vehicles. The only saving here would be gas.

Yes considering the above comment is literally common sense it’d be safer than a bike, but still cheaper than a full blown car

Weird, they only mention how good it did in side crush test and fail to mention literally any other test. Other than “it passed” I’m assuming it did not pass by much of a margin in any other category
