Life Cycle

A digital platform enabling sustainable bicycle ownership, resale, and lifecycle tracking to promote circular economy principles in urban mobility.

Project summary

The project addresses the sustainability challenges in urban cycling by introducing a digital product passport system that promotes circularity and transparency in the bicycle lifecycle. Inspired by the EU’s push for circular economy solutions, the project integrates ownership transfer, service history tracking and AI-powered bike specifications into a user-friendly platform. 

The solution will be piloted in Stockholm, Sweden, with a target user base of 1,000 individuals. The project is led by MIOO Cycling AB, in partnership with bike manufacturer Livelo and BikeWise an AI-platform for bike identification. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden will contribute with expertise in circular economy strategies. This collaborative effort aligns with the goals of improving urban mobility sustainability and supporting regulatory compliance with EU Digital Product Passport initiatives.
