Project description

I specialize in the repair of electric bikes. 🚴‍♂️

Active in the sector since 2017, I created my business in 2019 and I have been self-employed full-time since 2021.

My expertise is not limited to battery reconditioning. An important part of my job is to transform classic bikes by adding electric assistance. I also design trailers and solar charging systems.

The idea of making cargo bikes has been on my mind for a long time. But I have often come up against the same observation: it is difficult to achieve a viable model without going through mass production and substantial investments.

Until the day I bought an old cargo bike for a pittance. With my partner, we completely rebuilt the frame, then I equipped it with modern components. Since then, a second bike of the same type has been assembled for a customer. Between the two of us, we have already covered more than 4,000 km without a hitch. 🧭

And every day, similar bikes appear on the second-hand market.

From there a clear idea was born: to manufacture reconditioned, fully customizable cargo bikes, assembled with quality components, all at a lower price than a new commercial cargo bike! 😉

Searched profile

I am looking for a motivated co-founder who shares my deep passion for soft and sustainable mobility. If you have it, you've already won everything! 🚲✨

Why this project?

The goal is clear: to create something new for a changing world! 👌

About the founder

Diva.bike - Meet My Job

Didier Vandenhove

Cofounder

I am an inventor at heart, curious, creative, always on the move. With me, ideas flow (sometimes 1000 a day!) but always with pragmatism and feet on the ground.

I'm not trying to build a multinational.
On the other hand, I am convinced that some of my ideas can generate a positive impact on our world, while being economically viable.

I also know my limits: going to the end of this type of project alone is not my strong point.

That's why I'm now looking for a partner to turn these ideas into reality. 🚀

Person who inspires him: Jean-Marc Jancovici
Dreamed superpower: Predicting outages
Passion: The bike? 😊
