Key Products and Services
editCYCLE offers a wide range of e-bikes and cargo bikes specifically designed for the requirements of last-mile deliveries. The main products include the GEN2+ and the GEN3, both known for their reliability, robustness, and powerful motors as well as hydraulic brakes and extended battery life[1][2][5].
The company provides a comprehensive subscription model that includes not only the e-bikes but also service, insurance, and efficient fleet management software.

The company is committed to reducing CO2 emissions in the commercial transport sector and contributing to a clean and livable urban environment. By providing e-bikes and a comprehensive service and maintenance portfolio, CYCLE helps logistics companies operate in an environmentally friendly manner[2][3].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editA central goal of CYCLE is the reduction of CO2 emissions in urban transport. By using e-bikes and cargo bikes instead of conventional vehicles with combustion engines, the company can help avoid millions of tons of CO2 emissions per year. CYCLE is convinced that e-bikes and cargo bikes could take over more than 50% of last-mile deliveries in cities, leading to a significant reduction in environmental impact[2][3].
The company regularly measures its CO2 footprint and implements measures for emission reduction and the promotion of sustainable practices. By extending the lifespan of the e-bikes and minimizing waste, CYCLE contributes to a more sustainable future[3].
Current Developments and Expansion
editCYCLE currently operates in five countries (Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, and Belgium) and over 100 cities. The company plans to expand into additional markets and broaden its product line with new generations of e-bikes and other form factors such as three-wheeled and four-wheeled cargo bikes[2][5].
With its strong partnerships with leading companies in the delivery sector, such as Flink, Gorillas/Getir, Just Eat Takeaway.com, and Wolt, CYCLE positions itself as a leading provider of sustainable electric mobility solutions for the last-mile delivery market.
