Milan Design Week is renowned for its celebration of creativity and innovation, and this year, VELLO Bike is making waves with its groundbreaking urban mobility solutions. The Austria-based company is showcasing its latest product, the VELLO SUB, offering attendees a glimpse into the future of sustainable transportation.
The VELLO SUB is not just any cargo e-bike – it’s one of the lightest longtail cargo e-bikes on the market. Designed for urban commuters and eco-conscious consumers alike, the VELLO SUB combines cutting-edge technology with sleek design to create a truly revolutionary mode of transportation.
But VELLO Bike isn’t stopping there. Throughout Milan Design Week, the company will be hosting a series of events and exhibitions to showcase its innovative bicycle designs. From press days to bike tours, VELLO Bike is taking advantage of this prestigious platform to engage with industry professionals and design enthusiasts from around the world.
One of the highlights of VELLO Bike’s participation in Milan Design Week is the Austrian Design Night, where the company will have the opportunity to connect with industry influencers and potential partners. This networking event will provide a platform for VELLO Bike to share its vision for urban mobility and design innovation with a select audience.
In addition to showcasing its products, VELLO Bike is also using Milan Design Week as an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable transportation. Through its partnership with UNHCR and the MADE51 initiative, VELLO Bike is supporting refugee artisans and promoting economic autonomy through craftsmanship.
“We are thrilled to be part of Milan Design Week and to showcase our innovative bicycle designs on such a prestigious stage,” says Valentin Vodev, Founder and Head of Design at VELLO Bike. “Our goal is to revolutionize urban mobility and promote sustainable transportation solutions that benefit both individuals and the environment.”
