about us |

So our journey began.

We first focus on urban logistics, moving goods around cities in ways that are sustainable, efficient and cost-effective. Our vehicle and its modular platform system meets the needs of city logistics. From moving food to flowers to furniture, the possibilities are endless.

ONOMOTION is a Berlin-based e-mobility company introducing the ONO e-cargobike – combining the flexibility of a bicycle with the capacity and durability of a van. We offer environmentally-friendly urban logistics solutions designed and optimized for cities of today.

Trailblazing emission-free transportation

Bringing our vision to the streets. And it wasn’t with a well-trodden concept. The goal was an entirely new vehicle category: the e-cargo bike ONO for sustainable urban goods traffic. A hybrid between an electric bike and a car. It allows faster and more efficient movement, saves space, protects the environment and saves resources.
