About the Founders

As Berlin natives, the founders Nicolaus Nagel and Caspar Nagel saw a pressing necessity for convenient and eco-friendly transportation within the city. The existing options fell short in terms of design, weight, noise, and environmental impact.

After relocating to New York, they were amazed by the remarkable progress in electric drive train and battery technology. The emergence of these new opportunities led to the founding of Pave Motors in 2019 with the goal of pioneering a quiet and zero-emission form of transportation. Both of them have been recognized in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.
