Our team delivers cleaner, greener and faster

Velocity Cycle Couriers is an ultra-low emission courier company helping Oxfordshire businesses deliver quickly, cost-effectively and sustainably.

Started back in 2022 by Jake and Will, the goal had always been to bring more bikes into the city through moving local deliveries away from fossil-fuelled vehicles, replacing them with an option providing a vastly reduced carbon footprint.

As long-term residents of Oxford, Jake, Will, and the whole team’s shared goal is to help reduce carbon emissions, cut congestion, and make our streets safer for all by reducing the number of cars and vans on the road. With vans fast becoming the top CO2 emitters in the transport sector, e-cargo bikes cut carbon emissions by 90%. Their small footprint means they spend very little time in traffic, allowing them to deliver 50% faster than vans in city centres.

Choosing electric also contributes significantly to improving air quality by reducing other harmful air pollutants, many of which are associated with last mile deliveries in cities. Electric deliveries also reduce congestion, improve safety on city roads and create healthier, more liveable cities.

Originally starting with just three bikes and an electric van, the fleet and workforce has grown over the years, now boasting 8 bikes and three electric vans, plus an Iceni e-trike, and an EAV (Electrically Assisted Vehicle), capable of carrying loads from 100kg all the way up to 1000kg across the busy streets of Oxford and beyond.  

It’s not just the fleet and workforce that has grown, and as of 2025 Velocity has worked and continues to work closely with more than 100 local businesses of all sizes, from home bakers to global medical companies.
