We believe that real change begins with simple, smart solutions. That's why we've developed an e-bike that costs less than half the price of an average model—reduced to the essentials, lightweight, with a purist design, and made in Europe. In this way, we make green, flexible mobility accessible to everyone and contribute to making urban life more sustainable and livable.
The brand was originally supposed to be called " DRAIS " – named after the inventor of the balance bike, a source of inspiration for all developments in the field of mobility. But the name was trademarked. During a long night of brainstorming, Andy and his then-mentor ordered sushi . And suddenly it was clear: This is it! Unusual, memorable, different – just like our bike.
SUSHI BIKES is more than a brand—it's the vision of our founder, Andy, who had a simple yet revolutionary idea in 2018: an e-bike for those who didn't really want one. Together with his father, he built the first prototype in their home workshop. And yes, it was stolen right at the first photoshoot. Nevertheless, things continued—and things took off pretty quickly.
Founded in 2019, over 35,000 SUSHI BIKES are now on the road. With every piece of feedback, every model, and every ride, our community grows—and with it, our commitment to improving mobility.
People over pedals
