Liisabike offers the leasing of high-quality cargo bikes in and around Copenhagen. The initiative seeks to provide families with an affordable and usable alternative to the car. As the business model is based on returning the bikes, Liisabike thus generates potentially 200 used bikes annually. Liisabike therefore faced a challenge they wanted to solve: how to resell or re-lease the bikes after use? The solution was a new concept: Sustainabike. They now sell the used cargo bikes through an online platform with the same name. Service and maintenance are essential for the life of the leased bikes. Therefore, there is now a strong focus on the maintenance of the leased cargo bikes, as well as upcycling when they are returned. This increases their residual value, which reduces the carbon footprint.
