50 Rebels is a Portuguese e-bike manufacturer with a mission to bring sustainable and innovative transportation solutions to the world. As a brand that keeps as much of its value chain in Portugal as possible - from design to assembly - they are committed to strengthening their headquarters in Torres Vedras to continue innovating in e-bike manufacturing.
This is the promotor's third campaign, after successfully funding 125.000€ in 50 Rebels I, and II to to support the acquisition of production materials, invest in R&D capabilities, and obtain certification.
50 Rebels' new goal is to finance 600 batteries for electric bicycles. This battery stock will be used for its 2025 bicycle production, supporting anticipated sales growth and ensuring a reliable supply of essential components made in Portugal. By securing battery stock in advance, the promoter expects to enhance production efficiency, reduce lead times, and improve inventory control, supporting faster order fulfillment and increased sales capacity.
50 Rebels indirectly promotes Portugal's economy and the environment by spreading sustainable transportation solutions toward a greener future!

50 Rebels Company, Lda has been producing electric bicycles in Portugal since 2020. Their small but dedicated team of 7 has been conquering Europe from their headquarters in Torres Vedras (Portugal) with their unique bike design and strong branding. From their very beginning, 50 Rebels pledged to locally produce as many products and pre-products as possible. This led to frame manufacturing in Anadia, seat manufacturing in Famalicao, and rack manufacturing in Torres Vedras. Committed to making its products more sustainable, 50 Rebels is introducing a circular lithium battery usage scheme in 2023 with partners in Portugal and France.
This small and unique Portuguese company wants to continue to help change urban mobility in Europe by reaching people that haven’t been in the bicycle market before. The recent launch of the V-Series, 50 Rebels' second product series, is continuing to change the perception of what electric bicycles should look like and make urban and suburban riding easier, safer, and more fun.
The promotor produces high-quality bikes in Portugal that are especially suited for hilly areas with tough roads, potholes, and tramlines. The design and specifications of 50 Rebels bikes have been successfully introduced in several European countries through an e-commerce strategy and selected partners. At the brand's core, there stand flagship stores and shop-in-shops in cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Porto, Valencia, Zurich.
With more than 8 years of retail- and customer support experience in Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, and South Africa, it was time to put her experience to work: in 2019, Anna co-founded 50 Rebels with Andreas and made it what it is today: a customer-focused electric bicycle brand.
After 15 years in Marketing Management and Business Development, this 36-year-old Swiss moved to Portugal to start up his own business. Coming from Copenhagen he saw the possible symbiosis of the bicycle-producing country Portugal and the invention of moped-style e-bikes and made it happen: a Portuguese e-bike brand that takes on the European market and keeps the added value in Portugal.
50 Rebels began as an electric bicycle company with a pure direct-2-consumer strategy through its strong e-commerce presence. Towards the end of the Covid-pandemic, they started to mix it up and added a b2b-retail model to their European distribution strategy as well as a stronger presence in the Hotel and Tourism sector in their home market in Portugal. In 2022 the sales are approximately equally distributed between D2C and B2B sales making them more resistant to market disturbances.
As an organization 50 Rebels focuses on vertical integration as much as possible, leading to the control of manufacturing, assembly, and distribution, ending in a favorable gross margin and strong brand security. With the opening of flagship stores (Porto, Valencia, Torres Vedras) or shop-in-shops (Zurich, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Mallorca, Madeira) the control of the value chain is being extended every year.
Most 50 Rebels bikes are sold in Portugal, France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
