History of QWIC
QWIC is a Dutch brand of electric bikes founded in 2006 in Amsterdam by Michiel Hartman and Taco Anema. Their idea was born after a bike trip from Beirut to Beijing, during which they became convinced that electric mobility was an effective solution to congestion and pollution problems.
QWIC has quickly established itself as a major player in the Benelux and Germany, with a focus on design and innovation. The brand has won several awards and sold more than 200,000 e-bikes in total.
Following a slowdown in the electric bike market and an unexpected tax recovery, the brand encountered difficulties. After going bankrupt in 2023, the company was relaunched in February 2024. It was taken over by a consortium of investors, including the current owner Ecomotion (also owner of AGU). Today, QWIC is once again fully operational.
