FAZUA GmbH specialises in innovative, compact drive systems and concepts for aesthetic, agile and lightweight e-bikes. The company was founded in 2013 with the vision of establishing a new cycling culture through minimalist, intuitive products that promote a natural cycling experience and thus inspire more people to cycle. Today, over 40 well-known bicycle manufacturers rely on the pioneering technology of the young, diverse FAZUA team. Development, design and production all take place at the company site in Ottobrunn near Munich.

"Pursuing a vision, founding and building a company is not only a matter we are passionate about but also nerve-wracking. From the very beginning and all the way along, Bayern Kapital gave us the reliability and stability that we needed. We are very grateful for their support.”

Fabian Reuter, Product Management Director, Porsche eBike Performance / Co-Founder FAZUA GmbH

“The tenacity and innovative strength of the FAZUA founding team really convinced us. Their success proves them right. The company now has over 100 employees”

Wolfgang Härtl, Investment Director at Bayern Kapital
