Delivery is no longer exclusive to the realm of pizza joints. As more consumers demand off-premises options, restaurants are exploring their delivery options. Arizona-based Phat Scooters’ new Phleet Scooter was built with foodservice operators in mind. The 749-watt electric motor can log up to 75 miles on a single charge and reach speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Because of its low speed and pedals, Phleet Scooters can travel in bike lanes, helping couriers avoid traffic—and restaurants skip a lengthy licensing process. phatscooters.com
