Belgium's Any Seeks €10 Million Series A After 600 LUV1 Reservations

1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Aug 28

Any is targeting €10 million or more in Series A funding by year-end to ramp up LUV1 production ahead of its first customer deliveries.
600-plus reservations in the first 100 days helped build that pitch for the modular electric motorcycle, which starts at €7,000 and uses a €49 fully refundable deposit.
LUV1 is designed around utility: up to 120 liters of storage, optional cargo-focused configurations, a 100 km/h top speed and up to 87 miles of range from two swappable batteries.
The Belgian startup has already raised €2.75 million and is leaning on automotive talent including former Pininfarina design director Lowie Vermeersch and engineering chief Alessandro Mangano.
Any is betting that cargo capacity can carve out a new 'life utility vehicle' niche in a European two-wheeler market expected to be mostly electric by 2030.
