Market
Target Market
The Association of the European Bicycle Industry quantifies the European bicycle market in 6.8B, 80% of which is spread among 6 countries (Germany, England, France, Netherlands, Italy and Spain). This is a mature, predictable market which allows us to forecast growth in a responsible manner. Our goal is to secure a 5% share of the European urban bike market by 2020.
Competitive landscape
We compete with custom and non-custom bike manufacturers:
- Custom bike manufactures. Three direct competitors offer bikes that can be customized via an online platform. All of them have launched their business after us and are focused in only one model of bicycle. We offer five models.
- Non-custom bike manufactures. Most manufacturers produce large runs to reduce COGS but are not able to customize bicycles. Those that do not produce large runs, produce specialized bikes.
Unique differentiator from competitors
- Technology. Arguably the best online design platform.
- Lean operation and fixed cost structure.
- Financial agreements in place.
- Outsourced supply chain.
- Based in Spain, low human capital costs
- Backed by Anima Ventures on development, marketing and admin.
