Designing micromobility

Whee! is driving a revolution in personal transportation with a electric cargobike as a service. More flexible than public transit, more sustainable than cars, it takes away all the trouble of owning and maintaining your own cargo bike.

By designing an integrated system with their own bikes, software and services, Whee! are making cargo bikes a genuine transit option for people living in cities.
