With revenue over $100 million, it operates the largest pure-play e-bike retail chain M-way in Switzerland.

Commenting on the occasion, Venu Srinivasan, chairman, TVS Motor Company, said:

TVS Motor has always been committed to sustainability and has been investing in electric vehicles for over 10 years. The increasing global focus on the environment and personal well-being is rapidly accelerating demand for newer mobility solutions, and TVS Motor is investing to drive this change.

This acquisition will help TVS in strengthening its global presence. It will also aid in building a solid base in the fast-growing electric mobility space. The brand will also launch key e-bike brands from the Swiss E-Mobility Group in India in the second half of this year.
