FROM THE ELBE TO THE WORLD
STEVENS is a Hamburg brand and embodies the same virtues and characteristics of that of the long-existing Hanseatic city of Hamburg: cosmopolitan while down-to-earth, innovative but not over-the-top, progressive but proud of what has been achieved. Hamburg stands for understatedness, for cordiality (however subtle), for tolerance and honest friendship. Hamburg is shaped by its people and their liberal approach to life. We see ourselves as a bike brand that carries this Hanseatic spirit with our bikes, throughout Germany and beyond to 24 European countries.
MADE IN HAMBURG
What was once a manageable two-wheeler has become a highly complex and modern high-tech vehicle designed to meet a wide range of demands, budgets and requirements. From the first idea, to concept on paper, then to mobile prototype and lastly to the final coordination, many intricate steps must be taken that require the utmost in transparency and expertise. We count on our employees to contribute their experience, ideas, knowledge and wishes so that we can continuously improve the products in these small intricacies before it is finally tested extensively. All this is done in Hamburg, with the latest software, in our own test laboratories, with our own machinery and cutting-edge technology. We are proud of this, but also certain that our philosophy – designed and engineered in Hamburg – is the basis for STEVENS' success.
SHORT DISTANCES, FAST INPUT
All decision-makers, engineers, developers and designers at STEVENS live and work in the port city of Hamburg. Here we sit together every day, exchange ideas and evaluate input from the professionals who test our bikes to the limit on the road as well as off-road. In combination with the suggestions of STEVENS retailers and feedback from our customers, the evaluations of the in-house quality control and the assessment of our products by the trade press, our bikes are continuously being further developed to that next level. The production of most of the bikes is also moving closer to our home base: A large part is manufactured by Stevens Produktions GmbH, which is based in Bramsche, Lower Saxony. For STEVENS, producing regionally means contributing towards sustainability (e.g. through short delivery routes) and supporting the region.
