Overview

Problem :

In peri-urban and rural areas, the car often remains the only practical option for everyday travel. This dependence carries significant economic, environmental, and social costs.
Conventional bicycles could offer a credible alternative, but their adoption is still hindered by major barriers, including insufficient infrastructure, a lack of perceived safety, and limited comfort in everyday use.

Solution :

Sanka develops BOB, a four-wheeled electric cargo bike designed to offer a safer and more comfortable alternative to a conventional bicycle for everyday travel in peri-urban and rural areas.
The company supports local authorities in their transition to sustainable mobility through turnkey pilot programmes, enabling residents to test BOB over several months as a practical alternative to the car.

Today Sanka Cycle is :

4 BOB prototypes developed
6 pilot deployments conducted in Nantes, Charlieu, Archamps, Rennes, Lozère, and La Chapelle-Thouarault
More than 4,500 km travelled by test users in less than one year

At Sanka, we believe it is possible to combine the reassuring features of the car with the spirit of the bicycle. Enabling this transition in a vast yet still largely unstructured market is both an ambitious and deeply exciting challenge.

Maturity: Seed

Risk: High, as the business model and traction remain uncertain, with little financial history. On the other hand, a seed-stage company offers strong growth potential if its value proposition quickly finds a market.
