BUTCHERS & BICYCLES

Overview

Butchers & Bicycles is a Danish company known for designing and manufacturing electric cargo bikes with patented tilting technology for urban family and logistics use. Based in Copenhagen's Meatpacking District, it emphasizes in-house design, development, assembly, and service for durability and usability. The brand gained recognition for its three-wheeled trikes that handle like two-wheelers, but filed for bankruptcy in March 2025 with assets purchased by EventyrCykler.

History

Founded in 2010 or 2013 by design engineers Morten Wagener, Morten Mogensen, and Jakob Munk in Copenhagen, the company launched its first product, the Mk1 three-wheeled cargo trike with Built To Tilt technology, in 2013. It established itself producing high-quality electric cargo bikes for families and urban transport over the next decade. In March 2025, Butchers & Bicycles filed for bankruptcy, after which EventyrCykler ApS acquired its name, IP rights, and selected production assets to continue the brand.
