Belgian Startup Any Launches Modular Electric Motorcycle with Cargo Capacity
Belgian electric vehicle startup Any is aiming to disrupt urban mobility with its LUV1, a modular electric motorcycle designed for practicality and versatility. The company's goal is to make two-wheelers more appealing by addressing real-life needs such as carrying groceries, luggage, or work equipment—features typically associated with cars rather than motorcycles. The LUV1 can store up to 120 liters of cargo and offers customizable options like open frames, panels, windshields, racks, and rain ponchos. It is designed for a top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and has an estimated range of 87 miles per charge with two swappable batteries. The vehicle requires only an A1 motorcycle license to operate in most regions. Any secured over 600 pre-orders within the first 100 days after unveiling its prototype at Milan Design Week, thanks in part to former Pininfarina design director Lowie Vermeersch’s involvement and a €2.75 million funding round led by venture capital.
