The Ultimate Experience

In the summer of 2016, MATE launched their original MATE bike on Indiegogo, and subsequently crowdfunded their MATE X bike, raising a combined USD $24 million and making MATE the most successfully crowdfunded electric bike in history.

Black was tasked with ideating and developing the packaging for the signature MATE and MATE X bikes. Since the customer journey is highlighted by the unboxing – an experience that some might argue is as important as the product itself – the team deliberated on how to create an unboxing experience that is as iconic as the product itself.

Alongside the packaging, Black ideated a series of private-label electric maintenance products that perfectly matched the core identity and tone of voice of MATE. Proudly Danish-designed and Danish-produced, the private label brand is CO2-neutral and sustainable, perfectly in line with MATE’s vision of sustainable electric mobility.
