What globe for you does

Globe For You SAS is a French designer and manufacturer of ultra-lightweight, foldable bicycle trailers sold under the Maïna brand. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Saint-Lunaire, Brittany, the company operates a manufacturing facility in Saint-Malo and a customer pickup workshop in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer. Its products target individual cyclists across France and Europe who need compact cargo solutions for transporting pets, sports equipment, family gear, and daily groceries by bike, with use cases spanning pet owners, surfers and water-sports users, anglers, and family cyclists.

The company's core product line consists of four trailer variants (Maïna 16, Maïna 16+, Maïna 20, and Maïna 20+) differentiated by wheel size (16" or 20") and nacelle type (waterproof textile or reinforced upcycled truck tarpaulin), all built around a patented folding mechanism and a proprietary flax fiber composite chassis. The chassis relies on bio-sourced flax fiber processed using in-house-designed industrial machinery, which the company claims makes the Maïna roughly half the weight of traditional bike trailers (5–7 kg) while supporting 30–40 kg payloads. Accessories and bundles (surfboard racks, pet packs, fishing supports, rain covers, LED stop lights, anti-theft locks, wall mounts, pannier rack adapters, and a full spare-parts catalog) extend the addressable use cases and create aftermarket revenue.

Globe For You sells direct-to-consumer through a Shopify e-commerce platform with delivery across France (via FedEx/TNT and GLS) and Europe (with custom international quotes available), supplemented by a partner retail store network for in-person product testing. Unit pricing ranges from €393 for refurbished models to €693 for premium bundles, with 3x interest-free payment available via Klarna. The company raised €1 million in June 2025 to industrialize production of its flax fiber trailers and has secured earned media coverage from French outlets including France 3, Ouest-France, Marie Claire, Quotidien, CycloMag, and Mag'In France.

Product overview

Globe For You is a French manufacturer of ultra-lightweight, flax fiber-reinforced bicycle trailers centered around the Maïna product line. The core offering includes four main trailer models (Maïna 16, Maïna 16+, Maïna 20, Maïna 20+) differentiated by wheel size (16" vs 20") and nacelle type (standard textile vs reinforced upcycled tarpaulin). These trailers are bundled with functional accessories in themed packs targeting specific use cases: Petit Nounours and Gros Nounours for pet transport, Big Fish for fishing, Bivouac for camping, Surf for water sports, and Vacances en Famille for family outings. The modular accessory ecosystem includes surfboard racks, dog cushions, rain covers, stop lights, wall mounts, anti-theft locks, bicycle mounting kits, pannier rack adapters, and a full range of spare parts (wheels, forks, chassis frames, nacelles, clamping collars, straps, and tightening levers). All Maïna trailers feature a patented telescopic folding mechanism, universal velcro-based bicycle attachment system, and are manufactured in Saint-Malo, Brittany using proprietary flax fiber composite technology. The product line emphasizes sustainability, lightweight design (5-8kg depending on model), payload capacity (30-45kg), and 100% repairability with all parts replaceable.
