Company Backgrounder
In 2014, the profile of North American eBike users runs the gamut from recreational users
wanting to ride again after a long hiatus, to urban commuters, to hardcore cycling
enthusiasts looking to add something a little different to their varied riding experiences. The
eBike offerings from Currie Technologies are designed to meet the needs of every category
of rider.
Currie Technologies, a division of Accell North America, is a pioneer in the U.S. eBike
market and sister company to Raleigh and LaPierre, which also manufactures eBikes.
Currie is the exclusive distributor of Germany’s Haibike e-bikes, Swiss-designed eFlow, and
designs and sells its own eBikes under the brand name IZIP. Currie’s offerings meet every
rider’s need with a comprehensive and growing product line, available at all possible price

styles, all at affordable price points
Haibike
2014 marked Haibike’s debut in North America with seven models from its Xduro family of
electric bikes, including the award-winning Xduro Nduro mountain bike.
Pleased with its initial success, in February 2015 Haibike U.S.A nearly doubles its offerings
with six additional models, three of which were previously available in Europe, such as the
Race drop handlebar road bike, and brand-new models such as a fatbike and a lower price
point version of its award-winning Nduro Pro all-mountain bike.
Notably, pavement bike offerings increase from two to five models in 2015, and mountain
bike offerings have grown from five to eight, covering every discipline from XC to soft
terrain. Haibike’s MSRPs range from $4,000 to $9,100.
Backed by the service and support of the Electric Bike Competence Center (EBCC), and
powered by industry-leading Bosch centerdrive performance systems, Haibike’s full range of
sport, performance, road, and mountain electric bikes brings a pioneering new level the U.S
in 2015.
eFlow

Swiss-designed eFlow, a performance commuting eBike, has the distinction of being the first
electric bicycle brand ever to receive a prestigious Gold Product Design Award from the iF
International Forum of Hanover, Germany (2012).

The Nitro and Flight feature 500W hub motors, powered by a seat-tube-integrated lithiumion battery. In an increasingly green-laned world, these road warriors offer urban
commuters nimble yet solid performance and a range of four pedal assisted or throttlepowered options and top pedal-assist speeds of up to 28mph.
IZIP
IZIP is the only brand of electric bikes with full category diversification. From commuters,
cruisers and cargo bikes to full-suspension, trail and touring models, IZIP covers every
riding option for leisure, trails and pavement at affordable price points.
In 2015, user interface, frame and component upgrades are implemented throughout the
line, increasing ease of use, enhancing rider comfort, and refining product quality. Pricing
ranges from $2,150 to $4,500.
Moreover, in 2015 IZIP’s lineup grows to nine unique models that guarantee fun for every
kind of ride, backed with the marketing and technical support of ANA’s EBCC.
