Established in 2015, ENVO Drive Systems is based in Burnaby, British Columbia.
History
ENVO Drive Systems was founded by Ali Kazemkhani,[1] an engineer focused on developing sustainable transportation solutions. The company initially began by creating e-bike conversion kits allowing riders to convert standard bicycles into e-bikes with custom power and battery configurations and later expanded its offerings to include complete electric vehicles and mobility platforms.
ENVO's Flex series includes modular e-bikes that can be transformed into e-bike, e-trike, and snow bike. [2]
ENVO develops electric winter vehicles designed for mobility on snow-covered terrain. The ENVO Flex Snowbike is a modular electric snow bike equipped with a track system and front ski suitable for winter conditions.[3][4][5] The ENVO Snowkart is a fully electric track based go-kart designed for snow use.[6] ENVO also offers an Electric Snowbike Kit, a conversion kit that adapts bicycles for snow travel.[7]
In 2023, ENVO acquired Veemo, a pedal-assist three-wheeled, semi-enclosed, electric-assisted velomobile.[8] Veemo is regulated as an electric bicycle to a top speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) and power limit of 500 watts in Canada.[9] ENVO also launched NextMove an industrial design competition geared micro-electric mobility devices. [10]
In 2024, ENVO launched UPT, a modular chassis micro electric vehicle based on the winning concept of NextMove.[11][12]
In 2025, ENVO acquired Moonbikes, a French manufacturer of electric snow bike, expanding its snow product line. [13]
