The Påhoj Team
Lycke von Schantz,
Påhoj Founder
It is such a high to be able to design not only a good product, but also the brand and universe around it. As a parent of two, I appreciate the the luxury of biking to pick up the kids. Especially when I can smoothly bike past all the cars stuck in traffic.
Sara Sterner,
CEO
"My bike is my best friend and I pack it as if it were a mule. That is why Påhoj is a perfect match for me. My children believe I have a “flower obsession” and my colleagues often call me Martha Stewart. But hey, aesthetics ARE essential! "
Amazon Innovation
Award Winner 2021
We believe that biking should be the way we all travel. Imagine a city with no pollution, noise or CO2, where we can discover hidden gems and new adventures together. Using the bike and allowing your kid to tag along is a great way to manifest good habits from childhood into adulthood. As we say in Sweden, “Children do as you do, not as you tell them to do”. Have a nice ride. And walk!
