BIKES FOR A BETTER LIFE: What is the Project?
Baisikeli offers Danish cargo bikes of the highest quality and used bicycles at affordable prices. As a social enterprise, the project works to make a difference – both locally and globally. The service centers in Copenhagen and Slangerup provide customers with access to cargo bikes for everyday use, temporary transport, or even for a day or week-long adventure. In Copenhagen, the experienced mechanics help with small repairs, large repairs, or full servicing of cargo bikes. Every bike, whether a freshly available cargo bike or a carefully curated used bicycle and e-bike, is seen as a tool for positive change… and that makes all the difference.

In addition to offering state-of-the-art cargo bikes, Baisikeli also provides cheap, used bicycles and e-bikes in Slangerup, making reliable transportation accessible to a broad audience. The friendly and knowledgeable team creates an inviting atmosphere where every visitor feels welcome – almost like chatting with an old friend about their next cycling adventure…

Supported by over 20 years of experience in service and repair of cargo bikes, the project specializes in vehicles such as Christiania Bikes and Nihola.

Social Enterprise and Global Impact: Making a Real Difference
The business model is not limited to local improvements; a global impact is at the heart of the project. With more than 15,000 bikes sent to Mozambique, the initiative supports children, youth, and local bike mechanics – a contribution that transforms lives and communities. Collaborations include partnerships with the Kibera Bicycle Center in Kenya, further underscoring the commitment to sustainable practices and social responsibility. The essence of the project is built on the belief that every bike has the potential to transform communities, enhance mobility, and drive social change both near and far.
