We are Vélosophy. Part bicycle. Part philosophy.
We are the only bicycle brand in the world with a One for One promise; for every one of our Vélosophy eco-friendly hotel bicycles we sell, we donate another bicycle to a schoolgirl in a developing country, bringing her hope of a brighter future.
Apart from our social philosophy, we also care for the environment. Since day one we have made our sustainable bicycles for hotels with recycled aluminium. We decided to make them with as much recycled aluminum as possible (currently at 95%) according to the industry standard and legal requirements. Waste in the form of aluminium can be recycled indefinitely and live on in new shapes and forms, such as beautiful Vélosophy bicycles.
The Vélosophy recycles hotel bicycles range offers two frame models that come in two sizes. You make your bicycle personal by choosing the colour and the type of carrier.
Vélosophy is a bicycle & lifestyle brand from Sweden. Launched in the spring of 2016, we are the only bicycle brand in the world with a One for One promise that is supporting young schoolgirls in developing countries by donating a bicycle for every one of our Vélosophy sustainable bicycles for hotels we sell. The fact is that giving a girl in a developing country a bicycle will increase her presence in school by close to 30% and her results by as much as 60%. It is facts like this that inspires us every day.
Our aim is to be the obvious choice for any urban cyclist who looks for aesthetic and well-thought through bicycles and accessories. As part of this ambition we have made collaborations part of our DNA. Together with some of the strongest and most innovative lifestyle brands today, we strive to design and develop smart, good-looking, meaningful and eco-friendly hotel bicycles. These products bring a positive social impact that support a healthy lifestyle and are manufactured responsibly with future generations in mind.

“We believe in bicycles and in the impact bicycles can make in rural areas and developing countries. We also believe in the possibility to make a difference – as a company.”// Jimmy Östholm, Founder
We may still be a small company, but we are ambitious and determined to challenge the bicycle industry as we know it. We constantly do it through our brand promise < Putting Life in Motion >. We put life in motion when we donate a bicycle for each one of our sustainable bicycles for hotels we sell. We put life in motion when the donated bicycles are manufactured locally in developing countries, supporting local labour and local businesses. We put life in motion when we manufacture our eco-friendly hotel bicycles using recycled aluminium. We put life in motion when we inspire more people to use pedal power as their first choice of transportation.
In short: Vélosophy is – part bicycle, part philosophy.
