  Founded in 2021, Rutile.bike specializes in the reconditioning and resale of high-end electric bikes. The company operates a hybrid retail-repair outlet it calls a “Rutilerie,” blending showroom space with on-site maintenance services. Headquartered in Villeurbanne, Rutile.bike generated €2.20 million in revenue in 2024 and currently plans to expand its capacity to process 5,000 bikes annually by 2027. Near-term expansion includes opening a second Rutilerie in Ivry-sur-Seine and scaling to six such locations within two years. The startup also aims to deepen partnerships with original bike manufacturers to enhance product quality and after-sales service. Its focus on industrializing refurbishment processes underpins its growth strategy in the fast-growing circular mobility market.
