About us
Part bicycle.
Part philosophy.
We are the only bicycle brand in the world with a One for One promise;
for every Vélosophy sold, we donate another bicycle to a schoolgirl in a developing country. Bringing her hope of a brighter future.
Vélosophy is a bicycle – & lifestyle brand from Sweden. Launched in the spring of 2016, we are the only bicycle brand in the world with a One for One promise that is supporting young schoolgirls in developing countries by donating a bicycle for every Vélosophy sold.
Fact is that giving a girl in a developing country a bicycle will increase her presence in school with close to 30% and her results with as much as 60%. It is facts like this that inspires us every day.
Our aim is to be the obvious choice for any urban cyclist who looks for aesthetic and well-thought through bicycle and accessories. As part of this ambition we have made collaborations part of our DNA. Together with some of the strongest and most innovative lifestyle brands today, we strive to design and develop smart, good looking and meaningful products. These products bring a positive social impact that support a healthy lifestyle and are manufactured responsibly with future generations in mind.
Vélosophy is the only bicycle brand in the world with a one for one promise supporting young schoolgirls in developing countries.
“We believe in bicycles and in the impact bicycles can make in rural areas and developing countries. We also believe in the possibility to make a difference – as a company.”
// Jimmy Östholm, Founder
We may still be a small company, but we are ambitious and determined to challenge the bicycle industry as we know it. We constantly do it through our brand promise < Putting Life in Motion >.
We put life in motion when we donate a locally manufactured bicycle for each one we sell. We put life in motion when the donated bicycles are manufactured locally in developing countries, supporting local labour and local businesses. We put life in motion when we manufacture our bikes using recycled aluminium. We put life in motion when we inspire more people to use pedal power as their first choice of transportation.
In short: Vélosophy is – part bicycle, part philosophy.
Vélosophy has recently been featured in publications such as: Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, Cool Hunting and Design Milk.
