Pelago

Pelago, Finnish bikes with a distinctive identity

From the scrap yard to designer bicycles

The name of the Pelago brand comes from the word “archipelago”, which refers to the group of islands found off the coast of Finland. Pelago is a tribute to the majestic and vast landscapes found throughout the Nordic country. These landscapes inspired its founders to build strong, beautiful and highly durable bicycles.

In their own local shop, measuring just 20 square metres, located in the Vallila district of Helsinki, the brand's founders learned the techniques and concepts needed to launch a bicycle brand. It was there that they began building their own models, with distinctive and robust designs.

In the early days, they salvaged various parts from old bicycles at the scrap yard that nobody used, in order to build their own bikes. This allowed them to learn, make mistakes, put things right and gain an in-depth understanding of everything involved in assembling city bikes.

Pelago is born to meet the most demanding needs of urban cycling

Building urban bicycles that are durable, of the highest quality and offer outstanding performance. These were the main goals set by Pelago's founders to meet the needs of the world's most demanding urban cyclists.

In May 2009, Pelago was officially founded, with its headquarters in the same shop where they had previously tinkered with and built their first bicycles.

Much more than a means of transport

For Pelago, the bicycle is a beautiful and rewarding tool that offers a wide range of benefits. It can be used for all kinds of journeys, whether that's popping out to buy bread, visiting a family member, going for a ride with friends or simply enjoying a leisurely cycle around the city. The bicycles are designed to make the most of everyday journeys and let you enjoy the outdoors, turning each ride into a new experience that you wouldn't get from any other means of transport.

That's why Pelago makes different ranges of bicycles, all featuring robust, highly practical and simple designs to meet every cyclist's needs. They also make components and accessories to complement your bike and make every journey easier.

The creation process behind all Pelago models follows the same principles: a deep passion for art and design, the freedom that cycling brings and the opportunity to discover different corners of cities on a single journey.

Over time, Pelago has grown from a company with just two employees into a business backed by a large team.
