Our story
Have fun, be transparent, and build trust.
Starting in 2016, we have seen many ups and downs. With difficulties came lessons, and through failure came success. Without these circumstances we would not have produced Meeko, an electric scooter that can withstand the rigors of daily life while remaining reliable, environmentally responsible, and fun.
“We found solutions. If there are problems in the world that we can help solve, we will move on.”
Our story began when the founder Samu Saaristo got tired of bottlenecks in traffic, parking lots, and in general cars obstructing his daily life, so he decided to look for an electric scooter, however, he found another one. Problem: All products on the market were overpriced, poorly built, and troublesome to maintain. He knew the public deserved better, and before long, he founded Meeko.
But what he found was another problem: all the products on the market were overpriced, poorly built, and a pain to maintain. He knew that the public deserved better and soon after he founded Meeko.
The quality is constant.
Simply put, quality is not easy, nor should it be.
To be a sustainable company, we make sure our electric scooters stay on the road, not in the landfill. Despite the fact that our customer satisfaction is over 90%, as a company, we are still not satisfied. We continue this journey to bring you the best products through constant research and development. It is our duty to you.
"It's not fun to admit you're wrong, but you have to."
- Samu Saaristo, founder of Meeko Electric Scooters
Our current City and Pro models are the culmination of years of development and thousands of miles driven. When we first produced them, we decided to bring our previous models back and replace key components at no cost. We did this not because they stopped working, but because we had created something better.

A Sustainable and Organic Flow.
In an era of global warming, we work to reduce our environmental impact. Whether through renewable energy, clean production, or extended product life, we want to put sustainable transportation in your hands and under your feet.
“Like a beautiful street lamp illuminating a park, we reimagined the urban landscape to be an organic one.”
Commitment to the community.
Despite having a close team at Meeko, we would be nothing without the partnerships and the community, which is why a portion of all sales goes towards ecology-related efforts.
In 2018, we worked together with the Aalto Industrial Design University Masters program to help build clean, accessible and innovative vehicles. here .
We have also been partners for several years with AKK in the WRC Rally Finland competition. Working with their pit crew, and serving as general transportation through public events, we test our scooters with the stresses of daily life in an intensive 3-day operation.
Better Tomorrows, A Brighter Today.
Our motto is simple, “Think Safe, Think Free, Think Green”. We want to keep you and your family safe, while freeing you from the limits of everyday life by using clean technology.
Or simply: we are here for a better tomorrow, starting today.
