With the renaming of the German E-Bike manufacturer HNF HEISENBERG to HNF-NICOLAI, both companies are facing big changes at the beginning of this year. The networking between HNF and NICOLAI will take place on all levels. Kalle Nicolai concludes:” The merger allows us to join forces and generate real added value and benefits for the customer. And I can focus on what I do best: developing innovative bikes with passion and heart. “
With the renaming of the German E-Bike manufacturer HNF HEISENBERG to HNF-NICOLAI, both companies are facing big changes at the beginning of this year.
Since 2008, the team led by Michael Hecken, Kalle Nicolai and Benjamin Börries have built and developed innovative and successful e-Bike concepts. Kalle Nicolai has been developing his brand NICOLAI worldwide since 1995 and has already achieved cult status. NICOLAI GmbH stands for superior, in-house manufactured mountain bikes.
The transition from HNF Heisenberg to HNF NICOLAI is more than just a merger of two brands. The networking between HNF and NICOLAI will take place on all levels. Overall, the core brand is significantly more focused. Kalle’s reputation in the bicycle industry is unique and the name Nicolai has made us- HNF what it is in the end: A stronger company by and with Kalle Nicolai.”
HNF Michael Hecken continues: “In discussions with customers, it was repeatedly confirmed that the connection with Nicolai presented a much stronger, content-related interest than the brand Heisenberg alone. High-tech engineering, the passion for biking and the pursuit of uniqueness for the perfect bike are the core of our brand and the cornerstone of our corporate philosophy.”
Kalle Nicolai concludes:” The merger allows us to join forces and generate real added value and benefits for the customer. And I can focus on what I do best: developing innovative bikes with passion and heart. “
HNF-NICOLAI has the entire value-added chain it needs to produce an eBike. All major processes are handled in-house, from engineering and developing the initial prototypes, to constructing sample frames. Vehicles such as our XF1/XF2 full suspension are completely handmade, for example.
Thanks to our direct marketing strategy, global purchasing and the use of modern production lines in Europe, we are able to offer technically high-quality e-bikes at extremely attractive prices.
We enjoy developing new concepts and we get excited by every new bike, every new colour and every new feature time and again. That is why we are vehicle builders and this drive will always be at the heart of our company.
Since 2008, the team led by Michael Hecken, Kalle Nicolai and Benjamin Börries has been developing and building innovative and successful e-bike concepts. The founding of Grace GmbH, alongside developing the first eMotorbike series and a smart eBike designed for Daimler AG, serves to illustrate this.
The eBike brand from Berlin Brandenburg, with an integral electromobility concept, produces modern and premium eBikes of the highest quality. The model range from HNF NICOLAI includes every conceivable eBike concept: From stylish low-entry bikes, innovative eMTBs and urban bikes right through to cargo e-bikes with adjustable tilt technology.

The highest quality standards and forward-looking technologies, such as the low-maintenance Gates carbon drive, the continuously variable NuVinci hub, or the drive train technology jointly developed with the BMWi research and technology group, distinguish HNF-NICOLAI eBikes from competitors’ standard models. This ensures that you not only have an extremely low maintenance eBike of the highest quality, but also a unique vehicle.
