Cyclorama - The guide to oustanding and specialised cycles

From aerials to electric bikes, Antec has come a long way in the field of electronics since 1953

Exhibitor Profile: Antec

Antec is a small Dutch company situated in Arnhem. This company develops electric drive systems and also manufactures complete electric bicycles in the Netherlands. Antec introduced their first electric bike to the European market in 1992, and always strives to offer customers comfortable and high quality products.

In 1953, at the beginning of the television age, the Leenaars family started a company specialized in antenna systems. For many decades, Pyros Dutch Antennaworks invented and produced all kinds of television antennas. Due to the increasing popularity of cable television, the demand for antennas decreased rapidly. It became time to start up something completely different.

Antec started in 1984 as a split off from Pyros. This new company started working on the development of highly advanced driving systems for electric bicycles, at a time when few people had ever heard of electric bicycles.  The expectation was that in the near future, because of increasing traffic problems, the demand for alternative transportation would increase.

So Antec has its roots in electronics. The precedence in knowledge which Antec has in the field of electronics and electric systems, nowadays results in highly advanced driving systems.
