The transition from Eovolt to UTO is a big change. From a B2B perspective, what were the key drivers for this rebrand, particularly in terms of gaining a “stronger, more distinctive identity in the marketplace”? How do you foresee this new identity translating into tangible benefits for your retail partners?
The transition from Eovolt to UTO was driven by a clear strategic vision: to establish a stronger, more distinctive brand identity that can evolve and grow with the market, particularly as we move beyond just electric bikes.

name, it limited our ability to expand into non-electric bikes and broader urban mobility solutions credibly. As we plan to diversify the range, including premium non-electric folding bikes, UTO gives us a brand name that is cleaner, memorable, broader, and more versatile.
In terms of market positioning, how does UTO aim to differentiate itself from other e-bike brands, particularly within the urban e-bike segment? UTO is positioned to be the most forward-thinking and rider- focused brand in the urban e-bike segment, combining sleek design, technical innovation, and practical everyday usability in a way few others do.
