THE STORY OF BRUNTOR
BRUNTOR is a Latvian hardware start-up developing a micro-mobility solution
It all started back in summer 2021 when we made the first version of BRUNTOR FUN, an electric off-road skateboard.
After winning the Latvian Business Idea Competition “Ideju kauss 2021”, we kept improving the off-road skateboard. We joined different programmes and realized we could make something useful like an electric cargo scooter.
In April 2022, during a hackathon, we came up with the idea for BRUNTOR CARGO and saw it had potential. By mid-summer 2022, we built the first prototype of BRUNTOR CARGO. By the end of summer, we partnered with Latvijas Pasts (Latvian Post) as our first pilot collaborator to test and improve our product.
In late 2022, BRUNTOR won the EIT Jumpstarter competition at “Urban Mobility” category.
In 2023, we were honored with a special prize in the “Future of Mobility” category at the Latvian Startup Awards. Additionally, we achieved recognition as one of the TOP 3 finalists in the “Mobility” category at the World Smart City Awards 2023.
In 2024, we proudly launched the “Greendash” project, co-funded by EIT Urban Mobility, in collaboration with esteemed partners including PostNord, Latvian Post, Riga City Council, and Vefresh.
Since then we have continued to grow.
