Mate was founded by siblings Christian Adel Michael and Julie Kronstrøm Carton in 2016.
In February 2022, the brand opened their first UK store at Seven Dial’s 72 Neal Street in London.
Spanning two floors and totalling 2,096 sq ft, Mate Seven Dials stocked its full collection of foldable e-bikes in several colourways.
The Seven Dials store also offered test rides that allowed visitors to trial the e-bikes. The space, designed to be an experiential store, showcased Mate’s exclusive retail collaborations, including CR x Mate and a capsule wardrobe with Palm Angels.
