Velosuisse

Velosuisse was founded in 2005 and represents the most important manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and agencies in the bicycle industry based in Switzerland. On January 1, 2005, the bicycle and motorcycle industries went their separate ways, having previously been organized in one association for decades, but having maintained their own groups ("Bicycle", "Motorcycle") since 1995. After the separation, the Association of Swiss Manufacturers, Wholesalers and Importers of the Two-Wheeler Industry VFGI became Velosuisse and Motosuisse.

Velosuisse acts as a national and international lobby and is a competent, politically neutral and pragmatic contact for specialist trade partners, politicians, authorities, media, research and educational institutions and other industry organisations when it comes to questions about bicycles, e-bikes and their components and accessories.

Velosuisse periodically surveys Swiss bicycle and e-bike sales figures. At the economic, political and social level, Velosuisse is committed to safe and prosperous bicycle traffic. In this capacity, Velosuisse members are present at selected Swiss cycling events and ensure the transfer of knowledge to the specialist trade with the InfoTech training platform. Velosuisse is also a member of various organisations that promote cycling.
