Panasonic: E-bikes since 1979 – from now on closer to Europe

It has been long before electrically assisted cycling became a mass (and growth) market, when Panasonic presented its first e-bike 1979 in Japan. Bicycles always enjoyed a particular attention within the global corporation - the family of company founder Konosuke Matsushita owned a bicycle store - and have been part of the product range since the 1950s.  

Also nowadays, Panasonic Cycle Technology is setting trends in the e-bike market - not only with battery technology, but also with the powerful motors of the GX series. 

Although Panasonic has been active on the European market for twenty years now, the sales structures for two-wheelers have been centrally governed by Japan so far. Now, with the new distribution center in the outskirts of Munich, Bavaria, Panasonic is now focusing close customer relations and short distances in the European e-bikes markets.
