Idea

Velca is committed to a healthier environment & making new electronic mobility solutions available to all. Our aim is to ultimately change the way people travel around cities.

At our core, we’re a team of electric mobility fans who've pooled our expertise to drive forward our new mobility vision - Velca.

We’ve developed a range of electric scooters with zero emissions, that make limited noise, and that can be delivered anywhere in Spain and selected locations in Europe. 250+ sold to date.

All of our scooters have swappable batteries that can be charged using any plug, in less that 5.5 hours. Our connectivity system, powered by Komobi, will notify you if you need repairs, if the vehicle is moving without your consent, plus give insight on the efficiency of your ride.

This year we launched our Velca Tramontana S, produced in Spain, and have secured partnerships with the likes of Estrella Galicia and Michelin. We’ve created a large community of repair shops outside of Madrid, powered by Onneu, who provide post-sale support to all our customers across Spain with 200+ centres.

The sector is growing fast in Spain, electric scooter sales grew 794% to 16k units between 2016-2020. European environmental regulations, government aid and changing mindsets are increasing interest in zero-emission vehicles.

We're offering you the opportunity to invest and support a mission for a greener future.
