Our story

Urban Iki has its own unique story

Urban Iki, by OGK, came from a deeply felt wish of the Kimura family to explore the world and bring their company into a new era. OGK was founded in Japan over 80 years ago and has earned its stripes as a market leader in cycling accessories and bicycle seats in Japan. You can see what that means in the streets of OGK’s hometown, Osaka, or any other Japanese city.. You’ll find families travelling through the city streets, and bicycle rides with children discovering the world around them. OGK creates to make cycling more special.

Dutch designers grasped the Japanese Iki feeling

The Kimura family travelled the world, drawing inspiration from European countries where cycling is as common as in Japan. With an entrepreneurial spirit, an open mind and the firm belief that there is a new story to tell, Urban Iki came to life. Dutch designers grasped the Japanese Iki feeling, enriched it with the mentality of Dutch design and smart thinking. And now the small Dutch team, with their roots in the bicycle industry, introduces Urban Iki by OGK from a Dutch-based headquarter.
