Precision. Power. Pure addiction.
At Opium, we’re not just building bikes — we’re reimagining the way people move. Based in Switzerland and inspired by a tradition of technical excellence, our speed pedelecs are engineered for riders who expect more: more comfort, more range, more precision, and more connection to the ride.
We specialise in high-performance, road-legal speed pedelecs designed for daily commuting and long-distance touring — all with the power to reach 45 km/h. From our signature low-step Model L to the long-haul powerhouse S-LR, each Opium bike is a product of obsessive detail and uncompromising engineering.
Technology that transforms your ride
Our e-bikes are powered by state-of-the-art components — like Smart.Shift electronic gearboxes from Pinion, long-range batteries up to 2,135Wh, and safety features like Blubrake ABS. Whether mechanical or electronic, every drivetrain is chosen for durability, responsiveness, and ride feel.
Our 850W, 930W or 1000W rear hub motors are whisper-quiet and torque-rich, giving you immediate, intuitive power without the need for noise or fuss. And with the FIT system managing the bike’s energy in real time, every ride feels as smooth as it is powerful.
From motor response to cockpit ergonomics, we engineer every detail to feel seamless — because true performance should never get in the way of a great ride.
Built to ride. Engineered to crave.
The name “Opium” was chosen to reflect the feeling we want every rider to experience — that sense of flow, of pure focus, of addictive performance. It’s not just speed. It’s not just comfort. It’s the moment when the bike disappears beneath you, and the road becomes yours.
Once you ride Opium, you won’t want to ride anything else.
Craftsmanship without compromise
Each Opium bike is developed and tested in Switzerland, where we combine advanced manufacturing with hands-on refinement. From the hydroformed aluminium frame to the integrated light cabling and clean lines of the mudguard-pannier system, nothing is left to chance.
Every component is selected not only for performance but also for longevity. We build bikes that are made to last — and designed to be ridden every day, in all conditions.
Built for a cleaner future.
Our mission extends beyond performance. At Opium, we believe high-quality design and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. That’s why we carefully select materials and partners who share our commitment to sustainability.
By enabling more people to choose e-mobility over cars, we’re helping reshape urban transport — one powerful, clean, and intelligently designed bike at a time.
This is the new standard in e-mobility.
We’re proud to stand at the forefront of the speed pedelec revolution — offering a riding experience that’s fast, safe, and seriously addictive. Whether you’re commuting across town or pushing for a long-distance weekend escape, Opium turns every journey into something you’ll look forward to.
Experience the ride. Feel the pull.
