Munich / Adelmannsfelden, September 2023 – After successfully entering the European market, 3X3 is expanding its field of activity to include North America. Service and sales of the internal gear hub from Adelmannsfelden in Germany will be taken over by Vapor Propulsion Labs (VPL) for USA and Canada from September 1st, 2023.
"VPL is exactly the sales partner we wanted for 3X3,” says Hilmar Wanner, Managing Director of 3X3. “With its enormous experience in the American market, Zach Krapfl’s team will be able to help us massively in establishing our precision hubs in the American market. With VPL, dealers and customers also have a reliable local contact, so we can offer after sales services at the highest level. The extraordinary bicycle expertise, particularly in frame construction, and the fact that VPL is also a Bosch reseller completely convinced us."
“We entered into a collaboration with 3X3 because the hub fits perfectly with our ideals with its precision construction, durability and as a central element of the drivetrain. We have seen the first prototypes back in 2019 and have followed the development first hand." “3X3 helps VPL offer an optimal solution for the e-bike market, where the transmission of high torque is particularly important,” said Zach Krapfl, CEO of VPL Bikes.
