About
Wheelys Café is a Swedish-founded, bike-powered mobile café franchise concept that lets independent operators ('Wheelers') run their own low-cost, eco-friendly coffee businesses from a pedal-powered cart. The company was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2015 batch and raised $350K via crowdfunding to expand its franchise globally, positioning itself as a green, low-overhead alternative to traditional café chains. Beyond the original café cart model, Wheelys later launched an unmanned autonomous convenience store concept in Shanghai in 2017. Its franchise model targets aspiring entrepreneurs seeking an affordable path to café ownership.
