According to a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dominos-pizza-announces-second-quarter-2019-financial-results-300885230.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=are-e-bikes-the-next-big-thing-in-delivery-tech-dominos-is-e-leading-the-way-2710715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Q2 sales call</a>, Domino&rsquo;s same-store sales growth is down a drastic 50%, due mainly to the aggressive activity of third-party aggregators, according to CEO Ritch Allison.&nbsp;

The pizza chain&rsquo;s new tactic&mdash;<a href="https://electrek.co/2019/08/13/dominos-pizza-delivery-e-bike-electric-bicycle-rad-power/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=are-e-bikes-the-next-big-thing-in-delivery-tech-dominos-is-e-leading-the-way-2710715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">e-bikes</a>&mdash;have small, integrated motors to assist with pedaling, and can run 25&ndash;40 miles depending on the user before needing a recharge. Domino&rsquo;s custom model includes enough room for each bike to carry up to 12 large pizzas.&nbsp;

While the <a href="https://www.inc.com/magazine/201902/will-yakowicz/bird-electric-scooter-travis-vanderzanden-2018-company-of-the-year.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=are-e-bikes-the-next-big-thing-in-delivery-tech-dominos-is-e-leading-the-way-2710715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">phenomenon is fairly new</a> in the United States, motorized bikes and scooters have been <a href="https://electrek.co/2019/07/24/blitz-motors-blitz3000x-electric-scooters-europe-and-india/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=are-e-bikes-the-next-big-thing-in-delivery-tech-dominos-is-e-leading-the-way-2710715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">used for delivery globally</a> by big brands such as McDonald&rsquo;s, Pizza Hut and, well, Domino&rsquo;s.

As opposed to the brand&rsquo;s <a href="https://1851franchise.com/domino-s-puts-the-pedal-to-the-medal-with-in-car-restaurant-technology-2710658#franbuzz" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">self-driving car</a>, the e-bikes are eco-friendly, traffic-resistant and offer lower delivery costs. Domino&rsquo;s will also be able to combat the extremely competitive allure of working for third-party companies by offering delivery jobs to candidates without automobiles.&nbsp;

Greg Keller, a Domino&#39;s franchisee in Seattle, told <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/technology/dominos-e-bike-delivery-program-goes-national?utm_campaign=20190813&amp%3Butm_medium=email&amp%3Butm_source=jolt&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=are-e-bikes-the-next-big-thing-in-delivery-tech-dominos-is-e-leading-the-way-2710715" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">QSR Magazine</a>, &quot;While delivery on a traditional bike solved many of our traffic and parking issues, the hills in Seattle were tough on even our best cyclists. E-bikes were a game-changer for us.&quot;

With QSR and fast-casual brands constantly looking to stay ahead of the curve, don&rsquo;t be surprised if you start seeing more delivery cyclists zipping by with pizzas at 40 miles-per-hour.&nbsp;
