A CYCLING-FRIENDLY WORLD, ONE BENEFIT BIKE AT A TIME

We are a benefit bike service company whose heart beats for emission-free mobility, employee happiness, and the health of our planet.

One epic ride

We’re on a journey that reshapes mobility for individual people, organisations, and the society.

Around 1800

The best invention of humankind to date – the bicycle – saw daylight.

2018

Just 200 years later, a company called Vapaus was born to spread the joy of cycling and shared fleets in Finland.

2020

Bumps in the road as COVID hits, but the pandemic and confirmed taxation legislation make benefit bikes all the hype.

2021

Developing the most wanted benefit bike service together with customers. Fast growth, big funding.

2023 - now

European Startup Prize for Mobility awarded to Vapaus. Service launched in Sweden (and more to come).

Our team

Technologists, service experts, innovators, cycling enthusiasts, and more. In our team, everyone gets to chase their own ambitions and impact the future of mobility.
