As electric two-wheelers gain a foothold, Belgian startup Any bets on cargo space

Belgian startup Any is developing a modular electric motorcycle called the LUV1, designed to combine the cargo capacity of a cargo bike with the speed and versatility of a motorcycle. The vehicle can carry up to 120 liters of cargo and offers customizable features such as panels for pets or work equipment, a windshield, and racks. Designed by former Pininfarina director Lowie Vermeersch, the LUV1 aims to bridge the gap between traditional motorcycles and cargo bikes, offering a more practical alternative to cars. Priced starting at €7,000, the LUV1 requires an A1 driving license, making it accessible to more riders. The startup has already secured over 600 pre-orders within 100 days, supported by a €49 reservation fee that is refundable. Any has raised €2.75 million in venture capital funding to support production.
