    Czech electric bike manufacturer and LEVA-EU member Levit has officially launched operations in the United Kingdom, continuing its strategic expansion across Europe. Already established in the Netherlands, France, and Finland, the brand enters the UK with over three decades of experience and a strong focus on rider-centric innovation.

    The brand’s UK launch is being led by Country Manager Ryan Fleming and is being supported by a full suite of local services including a dedicated website, GBP-based pricing, UK customer support, and distribution from EU warehouses. “Our goal isn’t just to sell bikes. We want to be a brand that inspires people to ride, explore, and live actively,” said Fleming.

    A unique approach to e-bike design

    Founded in 1991, Levit distinguishes itself by designing and manufacturing e-bikes entirely in-house. Unlike brands that rely on standardised catalogue frames and off-the-shelf components, Levit develops every detail—from frame geometry to software—internally. This approach supports the brand’s goal of offering not just products, but an experience built on simplicity, efficiency, and clean design.

    Advanced technology meets rider practicality

    At the core of every Levit e-bike is the Motinova mid-drive motor, custom-tuned by Levit’s team for intuitive and quiet operation. All models also incorporate a unified battery system developed by German firm BMZ, enabling easy servicing and shared battery use across different bikes—an appealing feature for multi-bike households.

    Hidden cables, colour-matched battery covers, and clean lines contribute to the bikes’ sleek and minimalist look, while practical features like optional backlit logos enhance visibility and safety. According to CEO Petr Svoboda, “We don’t aim to impress with complexity. We listen, genuinely and long-term.”

    Decades of experience and forward-looking vision

    With over 30 years in the cycling industry and a focus on electric bikes for the past 15 years, Levit has built a strong foundation of technical and design expertise. Looking ahead, the brand will focus on simplicity, compatibility and community with its long-term vision revolving around three key principles:

    • Innovation Without Bloat – Prioritising intuitive functionality over unnecessary features.
    • Compatibility and Simplicity – Enhancing serviceability with shared battery platforms.
    • Community-building – Supporting a network of riders, dealers, and brand advocates.

    UK support and contact information

    With UK operations now live, Levit is positioned to become a significant player in the country’s growing e-bike sector. Interested dealers and distributors are encouraged to contact Ryan Fleming at r.fleming@levit.bike or 07351 990717.
