LEVA Corporate Member Stromer E-Bike Now Charging Through U.S.

GREENVILLE, SC (BRAIN)-The electric bike category has just gotten a little more competitive with the Stromer's launch into the United States.

The Swiss company Stromer has been selling its same named e-bike in Europe for almost three years now. "It's one of the more popular electric bikes in Europe," said Brent Meyers, director of sales for Legacy E-Ride, which is a division of JH Global Services-a manufacturer and distributor of low speed electric vehicles based in South Carolina. Legacy E-Ride will now distribute Stromer in the United States. www.bicycleretailer.com/news/newsDetail/5023.html
