20 years’ experience

Founded in 1996, Leader 96 Ltd has more than 20 years’ experience in the production and distribution of bicycles and e-bikes. The company is constantly investing in its production and warehouse facilities, as well as in research and development.

E-bike production

Leader has started with its first e-bike prototypes back in 2011 and focused on electric bicycles ever since, seeing this new coming trend long before the massive boom. The increased demand and the company’s vision “To constantly produce and deliver high quality innovative products in line with the European standards, and to be preferred partner to its customers,” brings it to the next step and in June 2017 Leader opened its second factory, increasing its total capacity to 400,000 bikes per year.

Doubling e-bike production each year

The modern and well-organized equipment allows the company to double its e-bike production each year (26,000 in 2018, 55,000 in 2019 and planned 100,000 in 2020), making it one of the largest e-bikes producers in Europe.
