Zuzana and Jan

E-CAFE BIKE is the work of a married couple. Jan builds the bikes, Zuzana runs the brand and the business.

It took a year to finish the first prototype. They showed it at Designblok next to Renault's concept car, sold ten bikes after the show and founded the company in 2020, one week before the first lockdown.

After three years of building on the side, both left their jobs. Their customers now include professional athletes, and the bikes are designed to be changed by each owner.
