A radio studio on the MUSKETIER

While most media companies rely on combustion engines, independent radio stations, as is so often the case, tick a little differently. Instead of a van as a broadcast vehicle, Radio free FM now has an electric cargo bike equipped with the necessary technology for live broadcasts and podcast production.

With our mobile radio studio, we want to visit places and people who are otherwise less in the spotlight. Whether in a nursing home, at the train station, in a youth centre, a community café, on a construction site, in a garden or wherever people want to make their everyday lives audible and share them.

To inaugurate the mobile radio studio, which was developed as part of the Femcast project and built by Radkutsche GmbH, Radio free FM organised a radio scavenger hunt through Ulm and Neu-Ulm.
Small puzzles were sent to the frequency from a wide variety of locations, and listeners could tune in to the radio and guess where the mobile radio studio was currently located.

Radio free FM Vélo passed the inauguration drive with flying colours as part of the scavenger hunt on Wednesday, 1 October 2025. We spent the whole day travelling around Ulm and Neu-Ulm with our radio on wheels. Wonderful radio moments live and direct from the street, great encounters, cold noses, surprising rays of sunshine and challenging traffic situations made the day something very special. The convoy around the Vélo was definitely an eye-catcher and the mobile radio studio took everyone's hearts by storm. An Uber driver became the first fan of the new broadcast format during his coffee break, and passers-by greeted and cheered as the green free FM Vélo rolled past them.
