SMARTVÉLO

SMARTVÉLO designs and assembles commercial e-bikes in Germany, targeting last-mile delivery and other professional urban use cases. Founded in 2020 and based in Cologne, the company builds durable, low-maintenance machines with modular hardware and robust components, intended for continuous operation in urban logistics rather than consumer use.

The technical work spans e-bike design and engineering, low-maintenance drivetrain development and modular hardware architecture. Vehicles are digitally connected, with built-in GPS tracking and telematics feeding fleet management software that supports routing, utilisation and cost control. The company frames its product around efficiency in space, cost and emissions for commercial fleet operators.

Beyond the hardware, SMARTVÉLO offers a full-service model: fleet consulting and financing, plus a nationwide service and maintenance network delivered through a partnership with smartservice GmbH. The founder-led company (Henry Horn, Anna Essers, Konrad Essers) states a focus on quality, serviceability and long-term reliability, and on efficient, sustainable urban mobility. Its origins trace to a mobile bike-repair concept.

Target verticals include courier and delivery services, food delivery, craftsmen and trades, and general commercial fleet operations.
