QUALITY ASSURANCE
LIGHTWEIGHT AND SOLID VALUE
Two characteristics run through the entire range of STEVENS bikes: Lightweight yet extremely durable and value retention. We achieve these goals thanks to our engineers who develop all components down to the smallest detail, then personally follow and continuously check the production process from beginning to end. The development of new, highly technical e-bikes takes well more than two years from idea to series product. In the test phase, every innovation is critically examined and improved to perfection. To ensure that not only the prototypes are perfect, but also the series products, our experts monitor the quality standards from development to production.
EXTERNAL EXPERTISE
Trust is good, control is better. According to this motto, we do not rely exclusively on STEVENS' own expertise. For many years, we also work with the Zedler Institute for Bicycle Technology and Safety. Certified engineer Dirk Zedler, a publicly appointed and sworn expert for bicycles, has been in business for more than twenty years and is a sought-after bicycle expert. All STEVENS products are put to the test in his institute. Our aluminium and carbon frames, the forks, seatposts, wheels – everything, down to the last detail, is examined for strengths and weaknesses. This is the only way we can meet our very high quality standards, which confidently allows us to now offer a six-year warranty on our frames.
LIVED PASSION
Cycling is a passion – and all employees at STEVENS live this passion. We could not imagine a life without cycling. In combination with the professional expertise of each individual, this fascination for cycling is one of the most important pillars of why STEVENS bikes have been meeting the highest quality standards for 30 years. Whether it's our employees’ daily bike commute to work, a long ride during the holidays, a sporty after-work tour, a cyclotourist race in the weekend, or even our STEVENS-sponsored cycling pros’ international competitions, our team accumulates all these daily experiences on our bikes to evaluate them and incorporate the findings into our new developments.
