Valeo is not a name the bicycle industry traditionally follows closely. For decades, the French group has been a key player in the automotive world, supplying technologies that end up inside millions of vehicles. But as cycling becomes increasingly relevant for urban mobility and logistics, Valeo has entered the e-bike market with a clear message: this is not a trial run, but a long-term strategy.

In today's cycling industry, every decision is under scrutiny. High inventory levels, cautious retail demand, pressure on margins and ongoing supply chain adjustments are forcing companies to rethink where and how they invest their time and resources.

The Berlin-based system will soon be available in the new e-bike models from Campus and Waldbike.

In an industry driven by change, innovation and pressure to stay on top, where brands shift ownership, directions drift, and relationships often suffer, very few cycling companies ever get the chance to refocus and return to their authentic roots. Felt Bicycles is exactly planning to do that.
