ANY's LUV1 Is a Modular Electric Utility Vehicle You Build Yourself
ANY
is a startup from Belgium. The company built a modular electric utility vehicle
called the LUV1. ANY calls it a "Life Utility Vehicle," or LUV for
short. It mixes the light, easy feel of a two-wheeler with the storage space of
a small car. Business Insider said the launch created a whole new category in
city transport. TechCrunch also covered ANY on August 28, 2026, focusing on how
the company is betting on cargo space. ANY's own specs list 120 liters of
storage space, a range of 140 kilometers, a top speed of 100 km/h, and fully
electric power.
Same Bike, Four Different Jobs
ANY
built the LUV1 around four kinds of everyday riders, not just one type of
person. For adventurers, it's made for weekday city rides plus enough gear
space for weekend trips. For families, it's built to carry bags, kids' gear,
and pets, with easy quick stops. For business owners, it's made to carry heavy
loads without wasting time. For daily commuters, the focus is a smooth ride,
easy parking, and enough room for a normal day's things.
A Vehicle Built Piece by Piece
With
ANY's online tool, a buyer picks each part instead of choosing from a few fixed
models. The front end comes in two versions: Urban, built for tight control in
city traffic, or Cross, built to handle rough roads and carry more weight.
Tyres work the same way: All-Road tyres grip well on uneven surfaces, while
Street tyres are made for smooth, quiet city roads. Buyers also choose the
seat, the door panels, the frame, and the windshield. The windshield ranges
from a small one for light wind protection to a larger one for comfort at
higher speeds, or no windshield at all.
Trays, Bags, Baskets, and a Pet Cage
Storage
on the LUV1 goes far beyond one fixed trunk. Buyers can pick a stronger door
panel built for heavy cargo, or a special panel with a built-in pet cage.
Storage pieces include a floor tray, a raised middle tray, bags built into the
doors, a bag just for pets, a large plastic basket, and a hook for hanging a
bag. At the back, riders can add a passenger handle with its own small tray, a
top rack, and side racks for extra bags. A rain poncho is built into the top
lid, and there are separate weatherproof bags for the side and the top.
Fifteen Colors and a Pattern for Every Panel
ANY
also lets buyers customize how the LUV1 looks, not just how it works. There are
more than fifteen colors to choose from. Each color can be applied separately
to the frame, the door panels, and the trim, instead of one paint color
covering the whole bike. Door panels also come in different patterns, from bold
and textured looks to plain glossy or matte finishes. There's even a clear
panel option for riders who want to show the parts underneath. ANY's website
also has a tool that lets someone build their own version and share it with
others.
