- Lightweight, single-speed, full-carbon e-bike with a Bosch Hub Line hub motor, belt drive, sporty and responsive handling, and a weight of around 15 kg.  
- Strongly geared towards everyday use and commuting: low-maintenance, range of up to approx. 90 km in Eco mode, optional GPS tracking via Bosch Connect.  
- Weaknesses: no gear changes, fixed battery, (too) narrow tyre clearance (up to 40 mm), mudguards and luggage rack only available at extra cost.

- DJI’s Avinox motors offer extremely high performance, a smart ecosystem (app, fast charging, GPS tracking, heart rate control) and set new standards.
- Despite criticism of the performance arms race, they score highly for their comfort features, but remain mid-drive motors with audible noise, pedalling resistance and a limited choice of displays.
- High performance increases wear and tear, and the range of touring bikes is still limited; nevertheless, Steppenwolf and Velo de Ville show great potential in the trekking segment.

- Carbon trekking bike with a permanently fitted 800 Wh battery and powerful Avinox M2S motor (up to 150 Nm, 1300 W peak), top tube display with tracking function  
- Low-maintenance spec featuring Gates belt drive, Enviolo hub gears, RockShox Judy Silver fork, Limotec suspension seatpost and wide 55-mm tyres  
- Strengths: sporty yet comfortable geometry, powerful drive; Weaknesses: only two frame sizes, fixed battery, noisy motor, narrow mudguards, uncomfortable grips

- Accell is in serious financial difficulty; its German subsidiaries are seeking to restructure under their own management, and business will continue as normal for the time being.  
- Brands such as Haibike, Ghost and Winora are considered to retain their value; continuation under new ownership is possible, whilst unprofitable divisions may be discontinued.  
- Customers should keep their documents safe and resolve any service issues promptly via their dealer; warranties are handled by the dealer, and leasing contracts remain unchanged.

Accell crisis: Production halted in Hungary

- Lightweight, sporty Revo-C with a powerful Avinox M1 motor, designed for riding enjoyment rather than long-distance comfort, and a luggage rack load capacity of just 10 kg.  
- Permanently fitted 600 Wh battery with a range of approx. 80 km; no fast charging, but optional GPS tracking and an alarm function via a SIM-enabled display.  
- A sporty riding position, rigid carbon fork and 40-mm tyres deliver a direct, nimble ride, though with little comfort and only two frame sizes available.

- Drive system: Bosch Performance Line SX (55–60 Nm) with 400 Wh battery, approx. 80 km range, Purion 200 display, Monkey Link 2.0 for smartphones and accessories.  
- Specification: Schwalbe G-One Overland 50 mm 365 tyres, Shimano Deore 11-speed, hydraulic disc brakes; two frame shapes, available from early 2027 for €3,499.

- Accell Group and its Dutch subsidiaries have applied for a stay of payments; local insolvency proceedings are seen as the next step.
- Despite a debt write-down in 2024, further debt restructuring in 2026 and the planned acquisition of Dutech, no viable solution for the company’s continued operation has been found.
- The Dutch ‘provisional suspension of payments’ procedure freezes unsecured claims, prevents seizures and can last up to 1.5 years.

Accell insolvency: Are Winora, Haibike and Ghost facing the axe?

- Lightweight city/everyday e-bike (19.4 kg) with a Bosch SX motor (60 Nm) and a permanently integrated 400 Wh battery, ideal for shorter, sporty rides  
- Fully equipped with mudguards, lights, a luggage rack (for panniers), a side stand and a Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub, but without very light mountain gears  
- Available at well below the RRP of 2,799 euros; current offers range from around 2,344 to approximately 2,520 euros, depending on the model
