What HALE does
HALE spol. s r.o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Prague 7 - Holešovice, operating in automotive sales, distribution, and after-sales service. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual motorcycle and scooter buyers, taxi service operators requiring certified measurement instruments, and commercial vehicle fleet operators. Its revenue is generated through a multi-stream model combining hardware distribution (motorcycles, taximeters, tachographs, accessories), authorized vehicle servicing (Ford plus diesel systems), and supplementary rental services.
The company has held exclusive distribution rights for Austrian HALE electronic taximeters in the Czech and Slovak Republics since 1992, with those products deployed in over 40 countries. In motorcycles, HALE has progressively expanded its brand portfolio since 2015, initially adding Benelli and SYM, and most recently adding CFMOTO and Benda in 2024. The motorcycle catalog spans entry-level 125cc scooters to 1000cc adventure tourers, with notable technical features including CFMOTO T-Box connectivity, Apple CarPlay integration on premium models, and electronically controlled suspension on flagship offerings. HALE also operates as an authorized diesel service center for Bosch, Delphi, Denso, and Continental VDO, supported by technicians certified at the Ford Motor Company training center.
HALE's go-to-market combines a physical retail storefront and service center in Prague with an e-commerce channel at hale.cz, supported by event-driven customer acquisition through test rides, enduro course vouchers, and gift voucher programs. Pricing is unit-based, with motorcycles ranging from approximately 29,990 CZK (entry-level children's pitbike) to 299,990 CZK (premium 700cc cruiser), and services priced on a quote basis. The company reports 100+ motorcycles sold annually, 1,500+ satisfied clients served, and 33+ years of continuous operation. There is no indication of external funding, M&A activity, or direct geographic expansion of retail/service operations outside the Czech and Slovak markets.
