CROOZE is Gilbert and Jaap’s e-mobility shop. They met a few years ago at the power-walking club on Stieltjesstraat in Rotterdam. While walking across the city, they soon began to exchange ideas about the ways people could and should travel in and around the city. The new approach would have to get people moving, reduce CO2 emissions, and prevent both traffic jams and the congestion of the city. That meant it had to be sustainable, technologically advanced, and beautifully designed. Late 2014, true to the Rotterdam spirit, their actions spoke louder than their words as they launched their business, CROOZE. ‘We use the slogan “Old Meets New Technology” and therefore felt that the Fenixloods was the perfect location for our new e-mobility experience center. A well-organized, spatial shop in which you mainly find different types of e-bikes for a variety of uses, presented in an appealing lifestyle setting.
