At all stages of the transaction agreement, colleagues from the Iskra Ventures fund immersed themselves in the details of our business, studied internal processes and brought valuable expertise. And the main thing is that this close interaction continues. We are glad that we have received such a strategic partner as the Iskra Ventures fund, which will help us implement our most advanced developments, "said Denis Netaliev, founder of Cargo Bike and Tesla Design Bureau.

The bureau says that the electric bicycles developed by the company use the experience of operating imported models, but are adapted to Russian weather and other conditions. In particular, transport has an increased carrying capacity (three standard courier bags), minimal maintenance costs, increased mileage on one charge, which is enough for a full change of work even in winter, the Tesla Design Bureau said. They also added that the electric bikes were developed taking into account the new requirements of the Moscow Department of Transport and meet the requests of all participants in the express delivery market.
