About this business
Executive Summary
Founded in 2014, Materia Bikes is a prestigious European bicycle brand that has successfully bridged the gap between high-end furniture-grade craftsmanship and world-class bicycle engineering. This is a rare asset sale of a proven, ISO-tested product line that has already seen 400+ units sold across Europe and the U.S.
Unlike a startup concept, Materia Bikes is a fully developed ecosystem. The sale includes everything needed to relaunch or scale the brand globally, including advanced CAD data, manufacturing "know-how," and a defined roadmap into the high-growth E-bike market.
Investment Highlights
Proven Traction: 400+ premium units sold internationally with established U.S. market validation.
Certified Excellence: 5 distinct models that have passed rigorous ISO testing standards—a rarity in alternative-material bicycle manufacturing.
High-Profile Collaborations: Proven brand equity through partnerships with luxury brands like Vilebrequin and international athletes.
Independent Valuation: Third-party valuation (Sept 2023) appraised the Brand, IP, and Design portfolio at $293,407.
E-Mobility Ready: Fully defined strategy for E-bike integration using Mahle SmartBike Systems, ready for immediate development.
Assets Included in Sale
This is an IP-heavy asset sale designed for a seamless transfer of production:
Intellectual Property: Full rights to the brand, logo, design system, and trademarks.
Technical Data: Complete CAD files, 3D models, and comprehensive production documentation.
Manufacturing Suite: Frame prototypes, specialized manufacturing templates, and custom molds.
Brand Assets: Professional photography, high-end packaging designs, and a fully functional website.
Operations Manual: Sourcing secrets, production processes, and (optional) strategic supplier introductions.
Note: Sale focuses on IP and production assets; machinery and existing inventory are not included.
Growth & Market Position
Materia Bikes occupies the "Premium Lifestyle & Design" segment. It is positioned for the buyer who understands that modern consumers value storytelling and sustainability as much as performance.
Future Upside:
U.S. Expansion: Significant untapped potential in high-income U.S. coastal markets.
E-Bike Launch: Transition the existing frames into the electric segment to capture the fastest-growing sector in cycling.
Licensing: Opportunity to license the design and manufacturing tech to larger manufacturers.
Support & Transition
The founder is committed to the brand’s legacy and is open to staying involved post-sale. Whether you require technical production support, growth advisory, or assistance in further product development, a flexible transition period is available.
Ideal Buyer Profile
Strategic Investors looking to enter the boutique outdoor/lifestyle market.
Existing Bicycle Manufacturers seeking a "halo" brand to diversify their portfolio.
Design Firms or Luxury Groups looking to acquire high-value IP with a proven manufacturing path.
