Podbike® reimagines the future of urban mobility as convenient, fun and sustainable. We have invented the world’s most advanced e-bike to help bridge the transportation gap between cars and bicycles. Built on top of years of research and development, the T1 version of Frikar® ebike represents a new category of vehicle that will contribute to fighting climate change, lowering pollution and form the transportation backbone of the smart cities of the future. Podbike AS was founded in 2016 by Per Hassel Sørensen (CTO and Lead Product Developer) and Anne-Lise Heggland (CEO) to address the growing challenges of urban mobility. The Podbike team is a collection of dedicated, nature-loving entrepreneurs, engineers and creatives located in Stavanger, Norway. Our core motivation, the reason we have sold the farm to chase our dreams, is that we believe that tackling climate change is the greatest cause of our time. With a focus on sustainable and ethical production, and a product portfolio that prioritises low-carbon over low-budget, We hope to provide individuals and companies around the world with compelling transportation solutions. In developing the Podbike Frikar ebike, our primary focus has been on improving existing velomobile designs to create the world’s most desirable car and bike alternative. With its all-weather canopy, long electric-assisted range and suite of comfort and function-focused features, the Frikar ebike is well positioned to become a vital part of global transportation infrastructure.
