Beaufort e-bikes, a brand of LEVA-EU member Bizbike, have recently been awarded “Best Buy” and “Best in Test” accolades from Belgium’s largest independent consumer organisation.

The Belgian brand’s Beaufort BAY received the “Best Buy” label and its BAY Infinite received the “Best in Test” label from Test-Aankoop. Both models share the features of a belt drive and a 720Wh battery, while the Infinite is also equipped with Enviolo gearing.

Beaufort Product Manager Louis Vanassche said the following about the brand’s achievement in receiving the prestigious Test-Aankoop awards:

“I knew we had a good chance of winning one of the two labels, considering the price-quality ratio and the sense of (affordable) luxury we strive for at Beaufort. Winning both labels at once was beyond my wildest dreams. Talk about an excellent start to the new year!”

In February 2024, Beaufort appointed a new brand and product manager, resulting in a new look and feel. This concept emphasises affordable luxury, with a growing focus on colour schemes and product development. According to Vanasche, this latest achievement at the Test-Aankoop awards shows that the new approach is clearly paying off.

“This is actually the second time in a short period that Beaufort has had cause for celebration. In the fall of 2025, Bike Republic, the largest bicycle retail chain, decided to add the brand to its range.”

Brand manager Pieter Vander Linden also commented that its award winning bikes would be exhibited at Velolfollies from January 16-18:

“Last year, our stand with the colorful tree attracted attention, and this year we expect the Test-Aankoop labels to be a big hit. These labels underscore what we stand for: quality. We hope this will attract new customers and introduce them to Beaufort,” says Pieter Vander Linden, Brand Manager.
