The Ferla X:
Your Company’s Solution to Tackling Climate Change
Every company owes their ability to begin, grow, and operate on one irreplaceable thing, Earth. We have one planet to grow our business on, work hard upon and live on; and with the concerns of climate change now at an all time high, it has never been more imperative for companies, large and small, to begin finding ways to make their operations more sustainable.
The wonderful part about living in the 21st century is that in recent years there has been a wave of sustainable innovation aiming to make every part of business operations healthier for the Earth. Three of the largest aspects of a company’s operations are: waste, energy, and transportation. There is only one business innovation that provides sustainable solutions to these three aspects: the Ferla X vending bike.
The Ferla X
The Ferla X is the world’s first and best multi purpose vending bike with solar power. Whether you are a small business just starting up or are a big corporation consider moving aspects of your business to the Ferla X. With a one time cost of $4999, it is easy to use the Ferla X to start any business. The Ferla X can run on electricity or solar power so you can start your very own coffee or espresso shop! Use Ferla X to power your espresso machines, coffee machines, and any other machines your company may need to keep your business going. The countertop space is plentiful for you to set out sugar, coffee stirrers, cups, and maybe even some delicious pastries. With the Ferla X’s freezer package, start an ice cream business, gelato business, or frozen treat business. Or maybe start a cold brew business, kombucha business, or draft beer business with Ferla X’s tap installation. Or use the Ferla X to display food produce, clothing, cars, candy, or anything else in the world. If you are a big corporation, consider using the Ferla X to bring your product or service to the people of your city. Pedal to the beaches, Downtown, or your local parks to reach a wider audience. The Ferla X has all the tools to take your business mobile. Of course you can do all of this while saving the environment. The Ferla X cares about saving our planet and with its self-contained water system, solar energy system, and pollutant free bike feature, it does just that.
Waste Management: Self-Contained Water System
The Ferla X sink operates on a self-contained water system. A self-contained water system allows for water to be pumped to the sink through a continuous cycle, eliminating the need for the bike to be hooked up to risky water pipes. Water pipes allow for contamination, specifically copper contamination, that can make your business’ water taste bad and potentially break health codes. Using water pipes means that your business would be using new water with every turn on of the sink, causing a huge amount of water waste. Additionally, it takes a large amount of energy and carbon emissions for water to run through the filtration system to make it drinkable and usable for human use. Eliminating water waste would also eliminate the amount of energy used and therefore the amount of harmful gasses emitted into our atmosphere. The Ferla X self-contained water system allows your bike to reuse water throughout the day, eliminating unnecessary waste and conserving the 1% of fresh and usable water our planet has Clean your hands, dishes, and tabletop without having to worry about water waste. Of course, throughout the course of the day the usable water will begin to reduce as it turns and gets locked into the gray water tank. Gray water is the runoff water that has been contaminated from wash. Although, the water in the self-contained system is not infinitely reusable, it does help eliminate water waste significantly. Let that water you save stay where it belongs, with the Earth.
Solar Energy
As many people know by now, solar energy is, simply put, energy generated from the sun, as opposed to energy generated from pollutant power plants. Solar energy can help companies join the fight against climate change by significantly reducing air pollution. Air pollution causes around 7 million premature deaths annually and is a driving force in our planet’s climbing temperature.
Power plants are a major source of air pollution. There are around 7,658 power plants in the United States alone and as of 2011 they have created 1.7 billion tons of toxic carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, power plants, coal plants in particular, let out 500 tons of soot particles into the air, allowing harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide to cling to our air. These harmful pollutants ruin our Earth’s air harming it and us by causing health issues such as: asthma, bronchitis, and even premature death. The list goes on and on about the types of pollutants that are emitted by power plants and switching to a solar system can significantly eliminate these dangerous toxins and cleanse our air back to the way it should be. The Ferla X allows your vending bike to run on completely reusable energy for hours on end. Run your coffee machines, smoothie machines, Ferla X freezer or any machine that fits your business with not only clean energy but a clean conscience that you are protecting our planet. The installation of the solar power system costs only $700, which in the long run will pay for itself, unless the sun starts asking for a salary. The solar panels are flexible, water proof, and easy to install; have solar energy in just five minutes. New businesses can save money in utility start up costs and large companies can eliminate harmful electricity usage by taking the Ferla X for a spin.
Transportation: Bicycles
Ditch the commute and the gas and travel and move your business with the pollutant free bike of Ferla X. Bicycles have multiple environmental benefits. For starters they eliminate zero pollutants, eliminate the number of cars manufactured, therefore reducing the amount of harmful emissions by factories, and less cars on the road means less road deterioration which eliminates the need for constant concrete renewal. Additionally, as more cities turn to bikes, concrete is beginning to be eliminated all together, leaving room for grass, trees, and nature to grow in urban areas. The toxic chemicals given off by cars such as gas, anti-freeze, and oil often times runoff into waterways so riding a bike can eliminate water pollution as well. As someone who lives in a very urban area, noise pollution is a huge issue caused by car traffic. It keeps people awake, scares off animals, and all in all causes unnecessary and stressful ruckus throughout the day. Switching to bicycles can help keep your community a quiet and quaint place.
While the Ferla X bike can be manually pedaled, it is also able to come with a pedal assist (electric bike) feature. Now although this feature generates electricity, fear not, it is a zero emission battery, that runs on clean energy. Using electric bikes can eliminate an estimate of 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emission. Also, with the solar power system, the bike can also run on the sun’s 9 energy, ensuring your bike runs on clean and renewable energy.
As you look at the ways in which the Ferla X was created with the environment in mind, it is hard to turn away. The Ferla X allows companies to become sustainable with their waste management, energy emission, and transportation. Not only that, but it allows companies to find creative and innovative ways to reach their customers and cut start-up and utility costs. Whether you are a small business or a large corporation the Ferla X is here to help everyone and anyone help their business and save our planet.

There is always room for improvement. This is a phrase that many people know and have been driven by. It is a phrase that promotes integrity, passion, and hard work. It is not trying to say that you should never be satisfied but rather do not let your satisfaction blind you from seeing what could be.
Here at Ferla Bikes we do everything we can to ensure that the products we sell are not only loved by us but by our customers. We are proud of every single one of the products we make and cherish the customer input that made them possible. Nevertheless, we understand that nothing is ever perfect and that there is always room for improvement. This phrase holds a lot of meaning as of recent here at Ferla Bikes. Recently we launched the first version of the Ferla Mini Bike. A highly anticipated product that we were sure would make us and our customers proud. However, when it was released there were certain things we knew we needed to change. Thus began the road to the new and improved Ferla Mini Bike: Mini Bike v2.
Our customers and ourselves included were ecstatic about the up and coming Ferla Mini Bike. After months of input, design, and production the idea of a compact and functional bike was finally a reality. Life at Ferla Bikes was crazy but it was all going to be worth it when our customers finally received their impeccable Ferla Mini Bikes. We imagined a day of smiles, happiness, and positivity when the shipments finally arrived to our customers.
However, the quality of the mini bikes was not entirely what was expected. The first version of the bike had some troubles and our customers had some concern with its quality. At Ferla Bikes we strive to make our bikes and carts as perfect as possible so that you can have something extraordi-nary to build your business with. We had to do something. This version was still not good enough in our eyes and we wanted to improve upon the model.
The customers who received the first version of the Ferla Mini Bike were kind enough to share their input with us on how we could improve upon the model. After speaking with them personally and getting a better understanding of what features they were not completely satisfied with, it was time to start improving.
We put our heads together to create a better mini bike. One that would be unlike anything our cus-tomers have seen from us or anywhere else. We turned to a new manufacturer and we ensured that the materials being used to make our bikes were impeccable.
The main improved features of the Mini Bike v2 are:
There are other improvements with the quality of the nuts and bolts, the frame, and the side table. This new Ferla Mini Bike is truly something we are proud of and we know that it is only going to keep improving.
We just got the new shipment of Ferla Mini Bike v2 in and are sending them out now! We hope our customers see the the effort we put into listening to their input and making things right. We promise to never stop listening and to never stop improving.
Have you ever wanted to experience one of the greatest products on the planet? To see it, touch it, use it? Well soon you can do all of that and more with the Ferla X. The Ferla X is unlike any coffee bike this planet has ever seen. It is so much more advanced than it’s other coffee predecessors and competitors that it almost seems extraterrestrial. Ferla X has been optimized for the efficiency of its operator. With a sink, extensive storage space, and the option to add a battery powered freezer, the Ferla X has features unlike anything else. Of course, no one can make the planet’s best coffee bike all on their own. The out of this world idea came from you, our clients.
Before I can elaborate more on what makes this coffee bike unlike any other I have to journey back to the beginning. Before there was the Ferla X there was the Ferla 2. It was everything you could want in a coffee bike. It had a sink, storage, electricity, and it’s design was sleek and unique. People of Earth were using it to make their small businesses grow; with our Ferla 2 the universe was the limit!
But there was just one problem our clients felt like there was something missing. Their coffee bike spaceship was about to reach the edge of the universe; the limit was growing near. The limit was the absence of a temperature controlled freezer. Many of our clients needed a place to put their chilled ingredients and produce. They needed a space for their milk, ice, cream you name it!
They asked us if there was a freezer on the market that could fit inside the compartment box but we had no luck finding one. Our clients were making their needs and voices heard and we wanted to deliver. At first it seemed impossible to create a bike that had both a sink and freezer. A hybrid. A literal extraterrestrial. But here at Ferla Bikes we don’t take NO for an answer and we make sure our clients have everything they could possibly need to take over the universe with their businesses. We put our heads together and we created the perfect temperature controlled freezer to install into our Ferla bikes.
Thus, the creation of the Ferla X was underway! We created a freezer, now we needed a bike that would make our clients proud, happy, and successful to go along with it. We didn’t want to just put the freezer onto the Ferla 2. We wanted to create something that would go to infinity and beyond. Why stop at just the freezer? The Ferla X has features that no other coffee bike can offer.
Efficiency: We placed the sink, cash register, and freezer right next to one another and facing the vendor’s direction so that you can be as efficient as possible. The need to go back and forth between the sides of the bike is no longer! Add an espresso shot, grab ice from the freezer, and make change at an inhuman speed.
Durability: Our thicker plywood frame helps make Ferla X the most durable vending bike for sale in the world. The new frame is built to support the weight of your entire mobile restaurant set-up. Plus, we didn’t forget to add our waterproof varnish to the finish. Ferla X is also equipped with new wheels: heavier duty tires and a larger rim to help support the large frame. Never worry about your bike rolling away!
Space: Ferla X comes with a new & improved rear storage unit: a cubic shape increases your options for storage capability, and the flat top is perfect for displaying condiments when you are stationary. Lock up your valuable goods with our new & improved storage lock for the front storage unit.
Advanced Plumbing: A foldable faucet, removable basin, and the option to add hot water heating makes our Ferla X one of the most competitive sink-equipped vending bikes on the market.
Power: The Ferla X is even more powerful than the Ferla 2 with the all new powerful 750W Motor! Engineered to take on the weight of all the equipment you need to be successful! This new motor won’t let anything bring you down.
Sustainable Energy: The flexible solar panel roof will allow you to run your freezer for up to 15 hours all while using environmentally friendly and sustainable energy. Who knew the sun could keep things chilled!
The Ferla X also has some of the Ferla 2’s classic features like the extendable side table, display ledge, and the option to add pedal assist to make moving your bike easy so you can spread your business all over the planet!
The Ferla X is so advanced that at first glance you might confuse it for a coffee spaceship and it is landing soon! We are so excited to get this out of the world product to you. We could not have created this without the ideas of our clients and we hope it’s everything you asked for and more! Our mission here at Ferla is to break through the limits of what people think is possible. At first the thought of the Ferla X seemed like a distant dream but with handwork, passion, and dedication we have created a bike that will help you and your business make the universe the limit.
Often times people fear the unexpected. People fear it because they always assume the unexpected is something unstoppable. That notion is correct, there is no avoiding the unexpected. Nevertheless, the unexpected and unstoppable does not always lead to the unwanted. It’s time to stop giving the unexpected a bad wrap and realize that it holds so many wonderful opportunities. Recently here at Ferla Bikes, the unexpected has been nothing but splendid. This is because it gave us an opportunity to expand ourselves and start looking into the future with our brand new Ferla coffee and ice cream carts.
FERLA GRANDE CART
FERLA MINI CART
We cherish open-mindedness, collaboration, and creativity at Ferla not only within our team but within our customer community as well.
Over the past few years a few customers have given us the idea to possibly provide coffee cart and ice cream cart models without the bike attached. They told us that they had trouble finding a place to store their Ferla bikes and some of them mentioned they did not even need the bike attached. For some of our customers a simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing cart was all they needed.
In order to make those customers feel heard and improve upon our products, we got down to business and started creating the first ever set of Ferla coffee and ice cream carts. We wanted to make sure that the carts were different from anything else on the market. We created carts that had the same features, design, and feeling you love all while making them unlike anything we have ever offered before! Our Ferla Grande cart is our largest model yet; giving you all the space you need to sell your products. Oppositely, the Ferla Mini cart is just the right size to spread positivity and make your business dreams come true!
Since this idea came from only a few of our customers we were not expecting a very high demand. We are in fact Ferla BIKES and we felt as though the majority of our existing and future customers would still prefer our bike models over our cart models. Goodness were we wrong about that! People are falling in love and purchasing our carts more than we ever expected! It is such an incredible feeling to see an idea, that came from the voices of the community, not only come to life, but to be cherished by others. The fact that this idea stemmed from the minds and opinions of our customers makes these models all the more special. The cart belongs not only to the Ferla business team but to you, our loyal, creative, and passionate Ferla community.
Along with our unexpected demand, an unexpected business joined the Ferla community. What business you ask? None other than Tiffany’s! Tiffany & Co. reached out to us wanting a custom ordered Ferla Mini Cart to use for a pop-up in Beverly Hills which was to promote their restaurant The Blue Box Cafe.
We custom colored the bikes to be the iconic Tiffany’s blue and to be honest, I’m a little jealous they have this color copyrighted because it is absolutely stunning! The pop-up shop was a blue wonderland. Blue coffee carts, cups, pastries, clothes, you name it! Above you can see our Ferla Mini in action. Someone is about to munch on a delicious treat and we are overjoyed it was stored in our cart!
It was exciting to go through social media and see all the lovely people take photos in front of our cart. Above you can also see a passionate Tiffany’s vendor! Our mission to make it aesthetically pleasing and beautiful was most definitely accomplished.

Our one-of-a-kind colors have also given small entrepreneurs a creative and fun way to help promote and kick start their business. The Harry Banana purchased one of our Ferla Ice Cream bikes and we were happy to add his bright and quirky logo to the cart and make it just the right shade of banana yellow! Not only does Harry make healthy, vegan, and delicious treats but he also rocks those banana overalls! They’re quite aPEELing if you ask me!
Currently we offer two types of carts: our Ferla Mini and Ferla Grande carts. They will be fully restocked this mid-June! We are not stopping here! The Ferla future is filled with innovative carts that will feed a range of needs and bring possibilities to a wider ranger of dreamers. We are planning to create a grill cart, cold brew cart, merchandise cart, and more! We are also planning to increase the size of the freezer so that you can fit more chilly delights into your cart and bring more smiles to your customers.
When I look back at this journey I can’t help but marvel at how the most beautiful thing and possibly the most helpful thing about life is that it is unexpected. People always say you find love when you least expect it and boy oh boy did we find not only love but happiness in our carts! Ferla Bikes was founded on the belief that anything is possible no matter how big or how small your business is. Being able to contribute to Harry’s dream means the world to us. Helping Tiffany’s with their pop-up and being a part of Harry’s dream would never have happened without the unexpectedly amazing feedback we received from you. Next time the unexpected comes your way don’t be afraid, be happy because if its about to bring you anything like it brought us you’re in for an amazing coffee cart ride.
As an aspiring environmentally-friendly restaurant owner, you already know that more and more consumers are prioritizing a restaurant’s sustainability practices before choosing to give them their business. The market of environmentally-conscious shoppers grows by the day, and more and more restaurants are working to earn their loyalty, which means you’ll need to outdo your competition.
While your restaurant may cater to a specific market, such as vegans or diners who value locally-sourced products, there are several general practices that you can implement to make sure your restaurant is in the green. Check out our top five favorite tips below:
This goes without saying, but there are several ways that you can cut back on your restaurants waste. One of the biggest problems in the restaurant industry is obviously food waste. The FIFO (first in, first out) method, which is a well-known inventory control method, allows the oldest inventory, or food products in this case, to be used first.
Another option is offering specials based on your current inventory. The sweetness of an over-ripened banana is perfect for banana bread, and a mature apple is great for applesauce. If you still fail to use all of your older inventory, then don’t hesitate to donate to your local food bank right away – and if that isn’t an option, then you can always learn to compost!
You’re probably used to seeing your restaurant’s electricity bill always on the higher side. Besides being another costly expense (ugh!) for your business, it’s also an obvious waste of resources to use so much electricity. When designing your kitchen, be sure to separate heating and cooling equipment, to be sure that they both run with efficiency. Train your employees on the importance of cleaning equipment, and turn off appliances that aren’t being used. Make sure to invest in led lighting, utilize mood-lighting in your dining area, and make use of natural light from windows and skylights when possible.
Using LED vintage-style lightbulbs like these ones look pretty and save energy. A win for your restaurant!
You may think of a mobile restaurant using even more gas than a brick and mortar location – after all, food trucks run on gas, right? However, there’s plenty of alternatives to a food truck when it comes to taking your restaurant on the road. A food trailer could be towed behind your electric or hybrid car, and a mobile kiosk or food cart are great alternatives for simple, smaller sized operations. Having a fully mobile operation forces you to get creative with your resources, and it allows you to travel to your customers – rather than the other way around.
If you really want a creative solution, consider using a vending bike for your mobile operation. Combining compactedness with ease-of-mobility, a food vending bike is the perfect solution for restaurant owners who want the best of both worlds. Even if you do stick with a brick and mortar location, you can still use vending bikes as a way to deliver to your customers, whether you sell organic pizza, baked goods, or even fresh produce from your market. Ferla Bikes sells a variety of vending & delivery bikes that would work perfectly for your business model.
A vending bike like this, ensures that your business will be efficient, sustainable and fun – all in one.
Support your community and shop local! We’ve all heard #ShopSmall and #ShopLocal before, but how many of us actually implement the concepts into our daily business practices? Too often, we sacrifice the opportunity to make our businesses more green for our bottom line. However, there’s a whole market of diners who would happily pay more for locally sourced products!
The good news is, even if you can’t buy everything local, you can research what types of produce is commonly grown in your geographic region and start there. If you’re up for a creative project, you can even grow your own produce! Growing your produce in-house provides an engaging way for customers to see where their food is coming from, and may even cut your costs if done right. If you go on the mobile business route, you can invest in a mini-greenhouse, such as this one, for your growing purposes!
Expand your sustainability practices beyond your restaurant’s borders, and reach out to help your community! Teach a sustainable cooking class, where you teach your fans how they can concoct their own environmentally-conscious dishes at home. Cater at your local farmers market, and share a conversation with your customers to generate awareness of a cause close to your heart. Take a week or so each year to donate a percentage of your profit to a local charity.
Sustainability is not just about creating a more healthy environment, but also about creating more healthy people – and a more healthy community. Engage with your community, and they’ll engage back!

For your business, events are a big highlight. They may be the cornerstone of your venture, or maybe just a way to get out of the office for a few hours and celebrate your recent accomplishments with your colleagues. Either way, a properly planned event will be fun and provide value for your client or company. That’s why we love working in catering and events here at Ferla Bikes.
Whether you are looking to host an espresso cart for your corporate party, create a fun bar cart for your backyard wedding, or include an interactive mobile cafe at your company’s marketing event, Ferla has a creative and unique solution for you!
Take a look below to see just three ways that our Ferla 2 coffee bike has been used for catering:
This Ferla 2 was used by a mobile bar service for an event in southern California. With a simple removal of the canopy, some branding customization, and repurposing some of our equipment (we love how they used our BPA-free acrylic display case as an ice chest!), they were able to create a beautiful and professional-looking catering cart for serving cocktails.
A cart like this one is perfect for weddings, backyard get-togethers, or your next corporate event in Los Angeles!
Another way that our Ferla 2 has been used was as a coffee cart for BMW’s Group Dialogues Event. Several students and innovative thinkers discussed ways to improve mobile transportation by using sustainable solutions. Ferla 2 was displayed as a possible solution to fix urban mobility in Los Angeles, but it also served as a great coffee catering cart for the event!
Ferla 2 was recently featured at an influencer event in Los Angeles. Bluestone Lane used the bike as a coffee cart for the event, and it was a huge hit.
The bike was fully decked out in beautiful floral additions, and complete with Bluestone Lane’s logo clear to see on the front of the bike. What a great addition to an awesome event!
