About the company
In 2018, our client introduced the most beautiful, simple, and connected electric bike for urban riders. With a vision to be the ideal mode of transport, they have transformed the electric bike to be a fully connected ecosystem that their riders experience every day. Over time, the cultural impact they imagine is one of creating the living city - urban environments that are more mindful of us and the way we want to move and more sustainable for all its inhabitants.
Our client is a disrupter in the market with ambitious goals, winning Red-Dot awards in 2018, 2019, and 2021. They enhance the riding experience by unifying intelligent technology, delightful design, and meticulous customer service.

Their bikes, on-demand test rides, and repair services are available in more than 10 European countries and their bikes are available across the U.S.A. In January 2022, the company raised $80 Million of funding from international investors led by HCVC and Siam Capital with continued support from previous investors Index and Tiger Global in the Series C round.
