About us
We're obsessed with cities. So are our bikes. Truly city-proof, they shrink long commutes, scare off bike thieves, and amplify your pedal power while making city journeys a pleasure.
We became the definitive city e-bike and, although we went through some issues in 2023, we've got new owners and a renewed focus. We're re-engineering how we ride and we're excited about the future. Join us and be part of our next chapter.
We know internships are about learning, not arriving with years of experience. If you're excited about creating great workplace experiences, eager to learn, and ready to contribute, we'd love to hear from you - even if you don't meet every qualification listed above.
