Flinc Cycles

FLINC Cycles is a compact cargo bicycle company based in Zürich, Switzerland, founded by Markus Freitag, co-founder of the iconic FREITAG bag brand. Launched in April 2024, FLINC was inspired by a childhood memory of Steven Spielberg's ET, specifically the iconic scene of Elliott transporting his extraterrestrial friend in a front basket on a BMX b... icycle. The company designs and manufactures compact cargo cycles that combine the maneuverability of an urban minibike with the cargo capacity of a cargo bike and the sturdiness of a BMX. FLINC's flagship model features 20-inch wheels for a lower center of gravity, a steel frame with aluminum front rack, 11-speed Shimano hub gears, low-maintenance belt drive, and automatic hub dynamo lighting. Each bike weighs 16 kilograms and comes with two differently sized transport boxes in petrol and pink colors, along with colored elastic loops for securing loads. The FLINC is designed specifically for navigating narrow urban streets and cramped city environments, offering an easily maneuverable model with a sophisticated luggage system perfect for sustainable inner-city transport. FLINC operates a showroom and headquarters at Zentralstrasse 37 in Zürich-Wiedikon, where the company hosts community events on Thursday evenings for test rides and cycling enthusiasts. The dedicated team includes Markus as creative founder, Céline handling operations, Lara managing communications, and Ivo leading technical product development, all working to provide environmentally conscious urban mobility solutions.Read More
