Upway

Upway is an innovative company specializing in the refurbishment and resale of electric bicycles. The company was founded in 2021 by Stéphane Ficaja and Toussaint Wattinne, both of whom have experience at Uber and Uber Eats[1][5].

Upway's goal is to make e-mobility more accessible to everyone. To this end, the accessibility of electric bicycles is promoted by offering refurbished E-Bikes to reduce the high cost of new models while reducing waste[1][5].

• Refurbished E-Bikes: Upway offers a wide selection of professionally refurbished, used e-bikes that have been inspected through a 20-point inspection and come with a 1-year warranty on all electrical and mechanical components[1].
• Partnerships: Collaboration with bicycle stores and brands such as Lapierre to ensure the sustainability and quality of the products[5].

Upway advocates for a sustainable circular economy by reducing useless electronic waste. By refurbishing e-bikes, their lifespan is extended and the environment is relieved. In addition, Upway contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions by promoting the use of environmentally friendly means of transport[1][5].

The company is active in several European countries and the USA and plans to further expand its services. Upway has recently begun an expansion in Los Angeles and has been supported by renowned investors such as Sequoia Capital[3][5]. In addition, Upway has been recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the leading Greentech companies worldwide[5].
