Folding electric bike brand and LEVA-EU member Opmaet Fietsen has moved into new premises in Nijkerk, the Netherlands, marking the next step in the company’s growth.

The relocation is due to continued demand for electric bicycles, with the brand’s previous location now too small to meet rising needs. The new facility combines showroom, workshop and service operations, with all bikes assembled on-site. This not only ensures high product quality standards, but enables personal contact with customers at all stages.

The official opening took place on September 11, with Nijkerk Mayor Tinet de Jong leading proceedings alongside the owners of Opmaet, Stefan Schuurman and Olivier Parmentier, who said, “The move is an important step for us. We’ve literally outgrown our current premises and look forward to helping even more people discover the benefits of our bicycles from this location.”

The brand targets a broad audience with its electric folding bikes that are optimised for safety, comfort and ease of use, with a particular focus on the 50-plus demographic, enabling them to stay mobile. “We often hear that people are finding the courage to cycle again after years. For some, this even means a bit of regained independence,” say the Opmaet founders.

The brand is part of the Nijkerk Business Association and is committed to supporting the local community, sourcing suppliers and services in Nijkerk where possible, and offering workplace and training opportunities to students and employees in collaboration with Accent vocational training centre.
