The recently founded Munich-based startup Bravobike plans to launch in September. Jobrad is already joining the used bike startup.
Bravobike was registered in the commercial register on July 26, 2018, but has not yet made a public appearance. The Munich-based company plans to purchase, overhaul, and sell high-quality used bicycles and e-bikes throughout Germany via its own platform starting in September 2018. Managing directors are Oliver Diekmann and Axel Donath, who previously founded the used bicycle marketplace Bikesale.de founded.
“Bravobike is a complement to our company bike leasing concept”
Jobrad apparently expects immediate benefits from the investment: The Freiburg-based company offers companies bicycles for their employees through a leasing model. Bravobike will now resell the growing number of Jobrad leased returns. Bravobike does not offer new bikes.
"E-bikes generate the greatest effect in encouraging people to switch from cars to bicycles. The new company offers affordable e-bikes and second-hand bicycles. This opens up new user groups. For us, this is a direct contribution to the transport transition,"
says Jobrad managing director Ulrich Prediger,
“Bravobike is therefore another sustainable addition to our company bike leasing concept.”
