The Problem
We aim to drastically reduce the impact of personal mobility on the world.
Private cars account for 13% of Europe’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
And they are deeply inefficient: a typical car consumes approximately 10 times more energy per kilometer than riding a bike.
But emissions are just one problem.
Cars also drive traffic congestion, parking shortages, noise pollution, and many other concerning issues.
80% of trips in Europe are under 10 km, with an average of just 1.4 people per car.
Yet cars offer 5 seats that are unused the vast majority of the time.
Solutions like bikes to replace these short trips exist — but are not widely adopted.
We believe that by retaining the safety, comfort, and ergonomics of a car with the efficiency of a velomobile, we can solve the adoption issue and truly make an impact.
