Vok Bikes was founded in Tallinn in 2019 by three engineers: Indrek Petj\u00e4rv, Siim Starke and Riho Koop. They had spent six years building racing cars and electric scooters, and had reached the conclusion that no existing micro-mobility vehicle was durable or capable enough for commercial use, while moving cargo by van is increasingly inefficient. Today the company has customers in 14 European countries, among them UK logistics giant Evri, Estonian postal operator Omniva, international platform Wolt, and public sector operators such as the City of London.<\/p>
“Thank you to Lift99 for this recognition. Seeing the Vok logo on this wall, alongside other Estonian success stories, is quite something,” said Indrek Petj\u00e4rv, CEO and co-founder of Vok Bikes, in his acceptance speech. <\/p>
“Our journey started five years ago from a fairly simple hypothesis: the vehicles used for urban freight today are highly inefficient and expensive for the job they do. The cargo bike is not a new concept. What makes it new is the technological innovation that allows a (Vok) cargo bike to be used successfully for commercial purposes \u2013 a vehicle that is durable and capable, runs in any weather, and keeps running costs sensible. Back then I wouldn’t have believed that five years on we would be serving some of the world’s largest companies, such as Veolia, McDonald’s and DoorDash, with Amazon parcel deliveries joining this autumn. Thank you to our investors, who were bold enough to invest in hardware and believed that the bicycle could indeed be reinvented.”<\/p> Vok Bikes has joined the Estonian Mafia Wall of Fame as its 33rd company. The wall recognises Estonia’s most successful startups, and one or two companies are added to it each year. The previous joiner was fintech startup Montonio in September 2025. Until now, any company could put itself forward. This year the approach changed.
