150 employees lose their jobs, the production facility in Huttwil closes: German owner ZEG is taking action at e-bike pioneer Flyer and relocating production abroad. But the lights are not going out completely: Development and product management are to remain at the current location.

The USA and Canada are still lagging behind Europe in terms of e-bike sales, which means good growth opportunities for suppliers. Flyer, the e-bike pioneer from Huttwil, now wants to take advantage of this. However, the fact that another manufacturer is already selling e-bikes under the Flyer brand name in the USA is unfortunate.

Biketec GmbH is a spin-off of the Swiss e-bike pioneer Flyer. And with "FIT E-Bike System Integration", Biketec combines electrical components from various well-known manufacturers into one system and offers intelligent and flexible solutions for e-bike manufacturers, specialist dealers and end customers. Or to put it another way: Flyer technology is not only available on Flyer bikes.
