Bike safety.
Made better.
VerseBikes sits on the factory side of the supply chain. We source durable e-bikes, components and safety accessories direct from our own factory network, and manage sourcing projects for brands and fleets from brief to delivery.
Where it started
VerseBikes was founded by Tim Grootjans, an industrial designer who spent years living and working in Shanghai. He managed production for e-bike brands: visiting factories, running quality control on-site, negotiating directly with manufacturers.
Those years built something hard to replicate: real relationships with real factories, at the same level major European brands operate. VerseBikes opens that access to brands and operators who don’t have an office in Asia. Send us a brief and we match you with a vetted factory, quote the full landed cost, including duties and freight, and run the project through to delivery.
Why we exist
Most cycling products sold in Europe pass through two or three layers of distribution. Each layer adds cost and removes accountability. By the time a product reaches a retailer, often no one in the chain has visited the factory.
We removed those layers. We buy direct, check quality in person, import ourselves and dispatch from within the EU. What you pay reflects the cost of making something properly, not the cost of moving it through middlemen.

Sustainability
Everything ships in uncoated kraft cardboard. No plastic, no foam, no waste. Moulded paper pulp inserts, FSC-certified materials throughout, two-colour print only. Every box is designed to be recycled or composted. Not as a marketing point, but because it’s the right way to make things.
