The liquidation process for the insolvent Accell Group has begun. The receivers are selling Accell Nederland’s bicycle inventory to 12Go Biking. This includes bikes from Batavus, Sparta, Koga, and Loekie. How many bikes are changing hands and what 12Go is paying for them remains confidential.

12Go does not intend to sell the bikes exclusively in its own stores. Other bike dealers will also be able to access them via a new platform. More affordable offers have already been announced for customers. Important: 12Go is only purchasing the bicycles from inventory—not the brands. Negotiations regarding the brands’ future are still ongoing. According to the public insolvency report, more than 60 interested parties have submitted bids for Accell, individual brands, or larger brand portfolios.

This makes it increasingly likely that the group will not continue to exist as a whole. Well-known brands such as Haibike, Ghost, Winora, Lapierre, Batavus, and Koga could belong to different owners in the future.
