TRANSFORMING MOBILITY
From the start our vision was clear – to create transformative change in urban mobility. For cities with smart urban logistics that put people at the front and center.
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.
