e-bikes.

“When looking for a strong partner in the bike industry, our focus was set on the expertise in the e-bike sector as well as on many years of experience in bicycle production,” NUVELOS CEO Alexander Oelschlegel explains. “Sachsenring Bike Manufaktur, headquartered in Sangerhausen, additionally offers a very well networked nationwide on-site service, which in my opinion is indispensable for an e-bike,” Oelschlegel continues.
