What KOGA does
KOGA is a Dutch premium bicycle manufacturer founded in 1974, operating as a brand of Accell Nederland B.V., itself part of Accell Group N.V. The company designs and assembles premium electric and non-electric bicycles at its Heerenveen headquarters, organized into e-bikes (E-F3, Evia, Evia Pro, E-Nova EVO, PACE, E-Worldtraveller, E-XITE), city and touring bikes (Supermetro), trekking bikes (Worldtraveller), and gravel bikes (Colmaro). Each bicycle is individually tested before delivery.
The product architecture combines proprietary elements — KOGA Light Design (integrated LED lighting with concealed cabling), Smooth Welding frame construction, Feathershock suspension, and the Modular Rail System (MRS) for battery extraction — with third-party premium components: Bosch Smart System (BES3) drive units (Performance Line CX up to 85 Nm torque, 500–800 Wh batteries, Kiox 300 display), Enviolo continuously variable hubs, Rohloff 14-speed hubs, Gates belt drives, and Shimano Steps and disc brakes. The KOGA Signature online configurator allows custom specification of drivetrains and components.
KOGA sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network across Europe, supported by a KOGA Testcenter for test rides, a multilingual website (NL/DE/FR/EN), a digital bike-registration service, and content marketing. Revenue is generated via unit hardware sales of premium bicycles priced from approximately €4,899 to over €6,000, plus accessories. The company is privately held and does not disclose standalone revenue.
