We design for more accessible urban living. Our starting point is always the same: solving a real problem people face every day.
Founded by Mehmet Akıncılar while studying physics at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, BİZERO set out to make travel between campuses easier through electric bicycle sharing. The first ten bicycles entered service on the South and North campuses in September 2017, bringing the idea into everyday life.
Within a year, the sharing service expanded to İTÜ and Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi. Maintenance and usage needs informed new bicycle designs, leading to Bizero II, Türkiye’s first original electric bicycle design.
BİZERO continued its mobility development with load-carrying electric bicycles for short-distance deliveries.
The culmination of our ten-year journey developing bicycles for delivery and transport, Bizero IV features a modular design using additive manufacturing and 3D printing. Its four-wheel layout offers stable, tip-resistant riding, while its enclosed configuration enables year-round use. Solar panels also support daily riding without the need for charging.
Our vision is to develop vehicles that make everyday travel easier: compact solutions that adapt to different needs and harness renewable energy, becoming a natural part of daily life.
