As electric two-wheelers gain a foothold, Belgian startup Any bets on cargo space

Any is betting that all of that extra cargo space will be its main differentiator. LUV1 is meant to appeal to a customer base that goes beyond motorcycle riders, de Winter told TechCrunch. He said the startup has been approached by last-mile delivery players; and as it intends to develop not just the LUV1, but a “portfolio of vehicles,” that could include a third-wheeler.

Before spreading itself further, however, the startup needs to ramp up production of the LUV1 ahead of its first deliveries to customers. This will require more funding, and Any is now seeking to raise some €10 million ($11.65 million) or more in a Series A funding round that it hopes to close by the end of the year.
