Commitment to high-quality bicycles and great service

We are committed to making a positive impact on people and the planet. We take into account environmental and ethical aspects also in our procurement by purchasing bikes and accessories through a curated network of bike shops and manufacturers.

We only cooperate with reputable manufacturers and suppliers who represent known brands. The bicycles and equipment of these manufacturers are sustainably produced and can be either repaired, reused, or correctly recycled at the end of their lifespan. Our suppliers sign a cooperation and supplier contract that includes committing to Vapaus’ code of conduct and ethical requirements.
