History of LIFT-MTB

A passion for machining and cycling!

Our beginnings in BMX & MTB

1990

Most of us have had the same background: we’ve been riding forever!

It all started in the early 90’s with BMX…

A little later, it is quite naturally that we switched to mountain biking!

Our beginnings

2005

With an engineer friend, we worked on the idea of an electric kit for Mountain Bikes and classic bikes.

Project surely too precursory which will not see the day commercially.

7 years later

2012

Mentalities are changing, big brands like Bosch or Yamaha are interested in the phenomenon…

This is the trigger for many users!

Very conclusive prototypes!

2012

So we get back to work, mixing everyone’s skills, with the primary objective of building electric bikes that are as close as possible to our usual frames.

About 2 years later, the protos are very successful.

Little by little, friends are trying our system. Convinced, they adopted it and asked us to equip their bikes. Word of mouth does the rest…

International marketing

2013
Due to the demand, we decided to market the LIFT-MTB system through our website.

After having participated for nearly 25 years in most of the national and world championships with a handlebar in his hands, in disciplines as varied as BMX, DH downhill mountain biking, 4x mountain biking, enduro mountain biking, motocross, snow scoot…

Several selections in the French team DH / 4X / BMX to represent France on championships and world cup, several seasons in prestigious international teams like yeti / rocky mountain & trek …

Based on this extraordinary experience, we have developed the perfect motor with the LIFT-MTB motorization kit.

As you can see in the history of LIFT-MTB, we are not city bike enthusiasts selling kits adapted for mountain bikes!

We are coming from high level competition as pilots, mechanics for different prestigious teams in World Cup downhill and enduro (team TREK TBT, Yeti, Rocky Mountain …).
