SUSHI BIKES - now B Corp™ certified!
For us, sustainability isn't a trend, but the foundation on which we built SUSHI BIKES. Since 2025, we've been a B Corporation—a global movement of companies that are rethinking business and taking responsibility for people and the environment.
We firmly believe that e-bikes represent the first major opportunity for bicycles to provide a convenient alternative to cars. For the past hundred years, cities have been built around cars, and they have become status symbols. Now it's time to repurpose inner-city space for people.
And the plan works:
40%
of our customers use SUSHI BIKES as a replacement for their car. 🤯 And in doing so, they save around 3,000** tons of CO₂ per year. Our goal is to make e-bikes as affordable as possible so we can get as many of them on the road as possible. We continually strive to optimize the sustainability of our bikes. All so you can buy your SUSHI with a clear conscience.

SUPPLY CHAINS
Supply chains are complex, and so is the monitoring of compliance with legal regulations. We are constantly working to bring more transparency to our supply chains. By relocating assembly to Europe and sourcing frames and fenders from Europe, we have already taken a major step forward in this regard.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Electronic components, and lithium-ion batteries in particular, are particularly affected by violations of human and labor rights. We are aware of these problems and are therefore involved with the Fair Cobalt Alliance. If you want to learn more about batteries, please take a look here .
ENERGY
The production of our bikes requires a lot of energy, of course. That's why we're very proud that our production in Europe already uses 100% renewable energy. Together with our suppliers, we want to do even more in this area.
MATERIALS
In addition to energy, raw materials are also needed for the production of our bikes. We are constantly striving to use more recycled materials in our bikes. We plan to launch four projects for the use of recycled materials by 2026.

Europe
production
Our 3.0 models are manufactured in Europe. Production runs entirely on renewable energy. This saves us CO₂, shortens delivery routes, and creates high-quality jobs.
Congo
Batteries
Batteries have long, complex supply chains over which we have only limited influence. There have been repeated reports of exploitative practices, particularly with cobalt, which is used in lithium-ion batteries, including our battery. That's why we are a member of the Fair Cobalt Alliance. Learn more about our involvement with the FCA here .
Munich
Second chance
Our planet's resources are limited. To use them as efficiently as possible, we inspect all returned bikes for damage and recondition them. We've already refurbished and sold over 1,000 bikes.
Germany
Responsibility
The bike charter was approved by Bikebrainpool, a think tank of committed and well-known representatives from the bicycle industry. It is the corporate responsibility action plan for sustainable business in the bicycle industry. SUSHI BIKES has also been a member since November 2022.
We still have a lot to do
Overall, we believe that a solution must be affordable so that it can be used by many people. SUSHI BIKES only cost a third of the average price for e-bikes in Germany. And yet we are making a lot of progress when it comes to sustainability and human rights.
And that is exactly what we will continue. You can support this. The more SUSHIs on the road, the more influence and financial resources we have to help shape change in the industry.
