Veloretti’s second-generation electric bikes are a winner at this year’s iF DESIGN AWARD, the world-renowned design prize. The Ivy and Ace Two won in the Bicycle category for the discipline of Product Design and were the only Dutch urban electric bikes awarded.
Almost 11,000 entries were submitted from 72 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality. The Ivy and Ace Two won over the 132-member jury, made up of independent experts worldwide.
After expanding into the e-bike market in 2021, Veloretti spent two years refining the design to release the second-generation ‘Ivy and Ace Two’ in 2023. The bikes maintained what makes Veloretti’s next-generation electric bikes loved by their riders: high-quality, industry-standard components paired with a minimalist and seamless design.

In 2022, Veloretti joined the Pon bike family which includes other premium bike brands and concepts such as Swapfiets, Lease-A-Bike and Gazelle.
