About Velogik

Velogik UK, is part of the Velogik Group. Our mission is simple, to keep bicycles, scooters (and other forms of micromobility) moving. We place positive social and environmental impact at the forefront of what we do; that's why we're a Certified B Corporation as well as France's largest micro mobility fleet management and maintenance company.
