Moustache Bikes

Vosges-based Cycle Me designs and assembles electric bicycles under the Moustache Bikes brand in the Vosges region. The name refers to the moustache-shaped handlebars of the early 20th century. The company's bicycle designs include integrated frames and proprietary components. The bicycles are positioned in the premium price segment. The brand offers models for various uses, including city, mountain, and cargo bikes. The metal frames are primarily imported from Taiwan, although a wooden frame was also tested. All models feature batteries and an electric motor from German equipment manufacturer Bosch. The bicycles were first sold through approximately 100 independent retailers in France and a hundred or so in Europe (England, Germany and the Benelux countries) and in 2019 were shipped to 500 dealers all over the world. 45% of their production is exported.
