About Us

Built for the Way We Explore

CYKEL is reimagining how people experience the world by bike by connecting riders with places, stories and experiences through technology designed to make every journey more engaging, accessible and memorable.

Our story

Placeholder. A paragraph on where this started — the ride, the city, the problem that would not go away. Long enough to set the scene without turning into a founder’s memoir.

Placeholder. A second paragraph on what changed once operators and riders got hold of it, and where that points next.

What we hold to

Riders first

Placeholder. Every decision starts with the person on the bike — if it does not make their ride better, it does not ship.

Built with operators

Placeholder. The people renting out vehicles know their cities better than we ever will, so the roadmap comes from their counters.

Local by default

Placeholder. Routes, stories and partners come from the place they belong to, not from a template applied to every city.

Fewer cars

Placeholder. A visitor who chooses two wheels over four is the whole point, and the reason the rest of this is worth building.

How we got here

Founded in Vancouver

Placeholder. Where it began, and the ride that started the argument for building any of this.

The first route

Placeholder. A single self-guided ride, built for one rental shop, tested on borrowed bikes.

2024

Hardware on the handlebars

Placeholder. The Cykel device moves from prototype to something an operator can fit in ten minutes.

2025

One platform

Placeholder. Fleet management, experiences and rider app come together in a single dashboard.

2026

Across the coast

Placeholder. Operators in Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco running connected fleets.
