Flyer Classique
Switzerland 1995
„Fly along without perspiration“
Today, the Flyer is probably the best known electric bicycle in Switzerland. After initial trials from 1993 onwards, the vehicle went into production in 1995. Its characteristic feature was the aluminium box under the triangular frame.
Shared power
The idea behind the Flyer is to support muscle power by an electric motor. In doing this, however, the vehicle will not drive unless the pedals are being pedalled. And this is the decisive difference to a motorised cycle (mofa).
Officially successful
Like the Velocity „Dolphin“, the first E-Bike in Switzerland, the Flyer is yet another example of a collaboration between private initiative and the public sector. The Federal Office for Energy supported the project in its initial phase. Today, the Flyer is an E-bike that is known all over the world, and is an example of Swiss innovation and quality.
