Meet Wheelys Café's latest assault on the international café industry. The Wheelys 4 GREEN WARRIOR™ is a full service café on a bike, powered by the sun, the wind and your legs.
Wheelys 4 doesn't just want cafe owners to stop harming the environment, they want to give them ways to start helping it. This version of the Wheelys lets you recycle your coffee grounds in small planter boxes (the Wheelys team calls it guerrilla gardening), it comes with a solar panel, and built-in air purifying tech that removes smog particles from the air.
You can also (optionally) install a windmill on it too.
Wheelys Café is a YC backed company, with cafés in over 50 countries. You can pre-order it -- it starts at $3499.
@katmanalac@mariadelacroixx Wheelys Café is a dream opportunity for entrepreneurs and founders who want to leap frog into their own high-quality franchise.
Entrepreneurs will be able to profit from this brilliant business model; and consumers still want face-to-face with the smiling barista.
I predict if the Wheelys Cafés hits 1000+ cafe on-the-ground, Starbucks, Dunkin' and the illy corporate brands will try copying them. Could they hit 5,000 cafés in 5 years?
Look forward to where this goes next.

@bentossell Hey Ben. Actually, if we where Apple, this would be an Apple “s” model. We focused mainly on thirty small improvements, many tiny for the eye, yet quite important when you are out there on the streets in Helsinki at 4 a.m that november morning.
The biggest change is more a psychological one - from trying to be “non harming the environment” to actually "helping the enviroment”. Like our air purifier, that we are recycling grounds that we use for planting, actually reducing CO2 instead of being neutral.
Our step is still a small one, but the mindset has changed our product development, and we have a feeling this direction will soon make some ripples.
Finally, the fact that we now have a solar powered fridge will be somewhat of an advantage in places like Yemen and the south of Mexico.
Love!!
Maria
@bentossell I still think Jordan, one of our first Wheelers, is quite cool (https://www.facebook.com/WheelysJo/). Among our newer locations we have Tromsö in Norway, 350 miles kilometres above the Arctic Circle. And Melbourne who launched just yesterday!
All you need is a liquor license and associated permits!
This would be ideal for people to smoke in line!
Consider marketing your product and relevant services to dining establishments with outdoor seating accommodations!
Additional opportunities for success include solar panel technology integration!..
And consider additional marketing opportunities such as sunglasses/magzines/newspapers/lottery ticket/cigartette/etc.. sales kiosk integration
I hope this was beneficial for you to read! :)
Thanks,

@tomasmazetti Glad to hear we're on the same page!
I'm surprised at the duration of the task..
I also think inside/outdoor fitness facilities is a great place for your product and associated services..
Thanks again!
