Gap Finders: Maeving

Available for over a year

Seb Inglis-Jones is one of the founders of Maeving, they are the UK’s first electric motorbike manufacturers. The founders met when studying at Durham University - and whilst going to the pub after lectures they found a shared interest in starting a business....but only after they had built the experience to do so. After several years of gaining that job experience they decided it was time to step out and start their own business. Inspired by the electric vehicle revolution and growing popularity in Asia, an increased desire to be more environmentally conscious, and a shared love of motorbikes - the pair decided that electric motorbikes were going to be their business of choice. Offering an alternative for commuter travel, and short distance journeys, Maeving's first bike was released in 2021 and greeted with high praise. A key part of Maeving's appeal is how it has used the global reputation of the UK's motorbike heritage - they have their factory in Coventry - and they play in to the styling of the café racers of the 60s and 70s.
