With 40 million electric bikes worldwide, we need Upway's marketplace to refurbish and resell them at scale.
🎧 Episode Summary
Upway is a marketplace for refurbished electric bikes in eight countries. Backed by $60M in VC funding, including household names like Sequoia, they’ve sold over 80,000 bikes across hundreds of OEMs at 40% discounts to new e-bikes.
Toussaint brings almost a decade of experience from Uber in the EU before starting Upway. And simply listening to his rich French accent may increase your cool factor by 20 points. I know it did for me.
