MATE. The coolest and most affordable eBike EVER

Danish start-up elevates the world of eBikes by introducing MATE - an electric, smart, foldable and affordable bike

Say hello to the bike of the future.

The 16th of august marks the official launch of the crowdfunding campaign for MATE; the world’s most affordable foldable electricbike.

Introducing MATE: the ultimate in cycling versatility

MATE has a refreshingly sharp design for a foldable eBike and comes available in four different colour options (army green, matte black, metallic red or shiny white). An easy 3 step fold system makes MATE very versatile and mobile. This improved versatility is not only a great way to reduce the chance of theft, but also makes it easy to take with you on public transport or pack it in the trunk of your car for longer journeys.

Powered by either a 250W or 350W motor, MATE can reach a top speed of up to 20mph and gets up to 55 miles on a single charge. A 6 speed computer gives you details and stats about your ride, as well as a handy USB charging functionality for your smart-phone or GPS. For when you feel like using pedal power instead, the 7 speed Shimano gears give you even more versatility.

With front and rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes and all terrain tires, MATE offers a smooth ride, even on rougher surfaces. But the feature that the MATE team is most excited about is the price.

The duo behind the start-up has a vision: to make cycling more accessible to the world, Christian and Julie and they are committed to building a high quality, affordable eBike.

The 16th August marks the launch of their 30 day crowdfunding campaign and the MATE team are offering a massive 70% off MSRP to all campaign backers. With prices of between $599 – $749 USD available for a limited time only, represents a great deal for those looking for an eBike.

A curated directory of 400 resources & tools for startups

Startup Stash is a curated directory of resources and tools to help you build your startup”. Startup Stash includes 400 products in 40 categories, like “Idea Generation”, “Beta & Early users”, Marketing”, “Raising Capital” and “Customer support”. Each category consists of 10 handpicker resources and tools, all with their own detail page that displays some info about the product.

Each category will never have more than 10 products, this way we want to keep the amount of information manageable. We’ve seen there’s a need for people involved with startups to find resources that can help them go forward, but most sites/lists are pretty overwhelming and keep adding more and more products. This website is on the “discovery” side, because there are so many other (overwhelming) sites where you can get reviews etc. (like http://g2crowd.com with 23.000+ software products), Startup Stash should be the first thing you look at.
