Mosa Innovations and Manchester Bikes have won funding from Active Travel England’s £1 million Innovation Fund to bring community-led cycle sharing to Royal Horticultural Society Bridgewater. The scheme will connect Walkden railway station to one of the largest gardens in Europe, giving visitors a car-free way to make the last mile of the journey. We have been working on this in confidence since March. With Active Travel England’s public announcement on 11 May 2026, we can fi

We built Mosa because we believe cycling should be for everyone — not just those lucky enough to live in a dense city with a Santander Cycles station around the corner, or in a fancy flat with a secure bike room. We understand that the casual cyclist who picks up a shared bike when they need one has very different needs to the regular cyclist who owns the bike they love but lives with the daily fear of having it stolen. Two riders. Two problems. And for a long time, two marke

Announces the launch of Mosa's expanded smart bike parking pilot in partnership with SHIFT at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Shopping Centre. Details: 20 docks across 5 locations, 3-month trial, app-operated, battery-powered, weather-resistant. Invites cyclists to participate and provide feedback to refine the product.

Mosa's acceptance into the TRIG 2023 (Transport Research and Innovation Grant) programme by the Department for Transport and Connected Places Catapult. Outlines research in partnership with UCL's MUSA Lab into ultra-affordable docked bicycle sharing aimed at smaller cities and towns that can't afford legacy docked systems or manage dockless chaos. Frames it as democratising active travel access beyond tier-1 cities.

Announces Mosa's acceptance into Carbon13's 2nd Venture LaunchPad cohort. Explains the climate logic behind secure cycling infrastructure: that addressing bike theft increases cycling uptake, and that quantifying cycling's carbon contribution can incentivise landlords to invest in cycling facilities. Early reflections on the programme and the value of building rigorous carbon narratives.

Announces Mosa's first UK public trial of its smart bike lock technology at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (10–26 February 2023), in partnership with the London Legacy Development Corporation. The locks convert standard Sheffield stands into secure smart parking, built to SOLD Diamond standard, with a theft-detection alarm. Invites cyclists to sign up and test the technology.

MOSA has been shortlisted as one of the top 20 startups for the 2022 Web Summit Machine Demo in Lisbon! Come see our smart bike lock technology compete live on stage.
