The challenge they want to solve

On one hand, high‑end bicycles, particularly electric models, can cost around €4,200, putting them out of reach for many. On the other hand, buying used bikes from private individuals may be risky due to theft, poor condition and lack of warranty. Moreover, producing a new premium bike emits approximately 294 kg of CO₂, and new bikes lose up to 40% of their value within two years.

The impact they have

Each bike reconditioned by Mint saves an average of 113 kg of CO₂ compared to producing new ones. A 100‑point inspection, expert servicing and an online/offline sales model (via 170 partner bike shops) ensure quality, affordability and reliability. Mint advances responsible consumption and supports the circular economy.

The way we measure it

We measure the CO₂ saved per bike sold versus new production.
