The driving force behind Benno bikes is the "Etility® Design" philosophy, pioneered by founder Benno Baenziger (co-founder of Electra Bicycle Company). He saw a gap in the market: traditional e-bikes lacked utility, while cargo bikes were often cumbersome. Etility® was his solution.
Etility® Design is the "perfect blend of ride dynamics, cargo capacity, and good looks." It creates agile e-bikes that can carry what you need, encouraging more people to leave their cars behind for daily tasks. As Benno says, "ebikes have the power to change things for the better."
A cornerstone of Benno's reliability is the exclusive use of Bosch drive systems. All Benno bikes feature German-engineered Bosch mid-drive motors, renowned for performance and longevity. With impressive torque (75-85Nm) and efficient batteries, they provide the power to move heavy loads and flatten hills.
This dedication to quality and innovation earned Benno Bikes the prestigious Eurobike Award in 2018 for its modular concept, highlighting the Boost E. The award recognizes Benno's unique approach to creating versatile, user-friendly cargo e-bikes.
