Kellys is a Slovak company—but its customers are primarily based abroad. Poland accounts for 37% of revenue, Slovakia for 22%, and the Czech Republic and Germany for 15% each. The company sells through a network of 1,600+ independent dealers in 35 countries, and more than 90% of its revenue comes from B2B channels. Over 100,000 bicycles roll off the production line annually.
The key new feature for the 2026 season is the AMXXPRO e-bike platform—an in-house drive system with a battery capacity of up to 900 Wh and a record-low weight. The THEOS F100 weighs 20.8 kg and outperforms the competition from Specialized, Trek, and KTM. Kellys is not just an assembler of Asian components – in-house frame development and European technology partners give it a competitive edge in a segment where customers are increasingly making decisions based on power-to-weight ratio.
