Velopresso
Creators of electricity-free, pedal-powered coffee trikes, Velopresso is run by eco-conscious duo Amos Field Reid and Lass Oiva.
The pair began manufacturing in their East London factory at the end of 2014 and have built four trikes to date.
Amos is confident that this year “will be a very big year for Velopresso” and predicts to sell between 20 and 30 made to order trikes in 2015.
Amos adds: “There are lots of wonderful mobile coffee vehicles out there, but nothing quite like Velopresso.” He believes that “cycling is integral to successful urban futures” and that’s why so many people are attracted to the idea of a coffee trike that requires absolutely no electricity to make a delicious espresso.
Velopresso has already had orders for their trikes across Europe, in the USA, Australia and of course the UK too. One start-up that is already using a Velopresso trike for their business is pop-up coffee company Wake up and Smell the Coffee.
Amos promises us that the pedal-powered coffee trike is just the “first of several planned specialist bicycle products we will develop and manufacture”. We are very excited to see what they come up with next.
To get your hands on a coffee trike for your business, check out Velopresso’s website or follow them on Instagram. And to see if there’s a coffee trike popping up near you soon, follow Wake Up and Smell the Coffee on Twitter.
