About HNF
The HNF GmbH has been a manufacturer of premium e-bikes based in Berlin since 2015. At its research and development center in the heart of Berlin, the company develops e-bikes of all categories – from urban e-bikes and all-terrain models to the three-track cargo e-bike CD1/CD2 with patented leaning technology. Since 2015, HNF has combined Bosch motors with an almost wear-free belt drive and a continuously variable transmission; since 2022, high-quality chain drives and derailleurs have been added. Production follows the highest standards, followed by careful final inspection at the company's own plant in the Halle-Leipzig technology region. Known projects include the XF1, which was developed in collaboration with BMWi. Sales are handled by around 500 qualified specialist dealers in Germany and Europe, supplemented by a network of specialist workshops for repair, maintenance and warranty processing.
