Addbike

The rest of the story is something else entirely. In 2015, the bicycle was not the most obvious means of daily travel. Beyond convincing the incubators and our customers by the strength of our innovation and design, it was above all necessary to find competent partners with real cycling knowledge who were motivated as we are by cycling AND by the project. What we wanted was something concrete and well done: something adapted to families on a daily basis. That's also why we took the long road to designing our perfect AddBike. From prototype to prototype, the first version was finalised in 2015 and the first series entered the market in May 2017. This long road allowed us to anticipate the world of cycling, the technical knowledge it involved, and the expectations of our customers. Our strength: paying real attention to the needs of our users. Far from the idea of pleasing everyone (even if we would like to), we want above all to respond to the real mobility needs that we once had. This project is a cycling solution in which we all believe and for which our team is involved on a large scale. In addition to developing a product, our aim is also to develop cycling mobility in France and Europe. Specialising in accessories for urban bikes, we have today registered two innovation patents on our AddBike tilting system. This is what brings us to today where we possess real cargo expertise and are well established in France and in Europe. We are ready to take up our new mobility challenges: don't worry about us, we're on the move! Our vision: for us, cycling is the future! It is becoming the obvious solution for the journeys of many city dwellers: a driver of social ties, economy, ecology, well-being... Many families are now turning to the cargo alternative to travel together on a daily basis. What we want to do: invent tomorrow's cycling mobility. AddBike participates in the development of the bicycle as a means of transportation, by offering innovative and adapted accessories both to accomplished cyclists and to families looking for alternative means of daily transportation. Our ambition: to lift the brakes that stop the daily use of the bicycle. Indeed, AddBike is positioned as a designer and manufacturer of innovative and modular accessories for bicycles, in the form of kits for cyclists, but also components for bicycle manufacturers wishing to offer a cargo solution. Reindustrializing the local industry is also one of our goals. Our products are designed and assembled in France, at our premises in Villeurbanne! Our company, moreover, is willing to invest in the bicycle and active mobility industry. The bicycle and soft mobility sector is today in full expansion in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. New actors in active mobility (bicycle promotion associations, school biking, research centers ...) are added to the traditional actors (assemblers, manufacturers, cyclists ...). This is why Renaud Colin has created, alongside Anne Sophie Caistiker, the Active and Sustainable Mobility Cluster (Cluster Mobilité Active et Durable). But why the MAD cluster? To help soft mobility in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region evolve together and enable companies to become a real player in change. It aims to bring together as many players as possible who want to work for a sustainable city to work together on projects, innovations, subsidies and profound changes in the development of the bicycle industry and its entire ecosystem within the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region.
