The Swiss federal administration is planning to purchase e-bikes and is earmarking an investment of CHF 590,000 for this purpose. This amount will go to the company Thömus, which won out against five competitors. The contract extends over five years and includes the delivery and maintenance of the e-bikes supplied.

The resulting quantity of bicycles has not yet been fixed; the number of units is dependent on demand and not tied to an exact quantity, Armasuisse media spokesperson Lea Ryf explained to the Berner Zeitung. The models include e-bikes up to 25 km/h as well as models with 45 km/h.
