Our story

A bike is the answer.

Farra was started in 2024 by a small team of engineers, designers, and urbanists who believed Baghdad deserves a different way to move through the day. Not cars. Not e-scooters charging on every corner. Just bicycles — well-built, well-placed, and impossible to lose.

A bike is the smallest electric vehicle in the world — when you are the engine.
What we believe

What we believe.

Short trips should be human trips.

A city is only as good as the slowest way to cross it.

03

Hardware should disappear. The ride should stay.

04

Baghdad is not a future city. It is a city building its future, right now.
