Estonian electric cargo bike manufacturer Vok Bikes and Renault Group are entering into a strategic partnership with the aim of launching mass production of the latest generation of Vok four-wheel electric bikes. Production will begin in early 2026 at the Renault Refactory plant in Flins, France.

A new production line near Paris, France, will enable Vok Bikes to expand production closer to key Western European markets, including the UK, France, and the Benelux countries.

The company has also patented its proprietary 4Drive drivetrain system to improve ride quality. Vok bicycles are now used in 14 countries. The company cooperates with major companies such as IKEA. Vok Bikes was founded by Indrek Petjärv in Tallinn in 2019.

In July 2025, Vok Bikes attracted $6M in investment from SQM Lithium Ventures, Metaplanet, Specialist VC, Sunly, and SmartCap. https://www.balticvc.com/2025/07/estonian-vok-bikes-raises-6m.html
