Here is another electric delivery scooter designed for use in Europe (during the summer, I assume). Not too exiting, but check out the cool removable batteries shown lower on the page of this Blitz electric scooter delivery vehicle press release: https://thepack.news/blitz-motors-presents-a-new-electric-scooter-for-the-parcel-and-food-delivery-market-in-europe/

But speaking of delivery vehicles: Why hasn't anyone reintroduced the H-D three-wheel delivery vehicle design that had been around since the 1930's? If it worked then with a 45 ci flat-head engine for all sort of uses, such as delivering parts and for enforcing parking restrictions for many years, the design ought to still work with an electric motor on European city streets with their low speed limits and cobble stone pavements. Plus, the design of the trike provides lots of room to store batteries.

Or how about a three wheel electric Tuk-tuk (or whatever they are called) as used in just about every Asian country for just about everything? If you ask me, a two-wheel scooter is just not practical or safe for a delivery vehicle designed for city use, especially during the latest global warming weather conditions.

That Blitz-Scooter seems to be designed weirdly. How do you open the seat to get the batteries out while having a big box on the back? And why is the battery box just peeking out at the bottom?

For your other thoughts. There are some e-trikes being produced in switzerland: https://kyburz-switzerland.ch/en/electric_vehicles.
And they are used in multiple countrys for postal service https://www.electrive.com/2019/11/01/australia-post-orders-a-1000-more-e-trikes-from-kyburz/.
