About Us

Let me star by telling little bit about us as company. We are small but historically famous bicycle company from Latvia - Erenpreiss bicycles. We produce high quality design bicycles since 1927 with almost 60 year long gap during Soviet occupation years when Erenpreiss bicycle factory was nationalized by Soviet regime and abandoned.

The original bicycle factory was founded by talanted Latvian craftsman Gustavs Erenpreiss in 1927 and by 1941 Erenpreiss bicycle factory became largest bicycle manufacturer in the Baltic States with production more than 200, 000 bicycle by 1941. During the World War II the factory was nationalised by the Soviet regime and its owner Gustavs Ērenpreiss was forced to leave his own factory.

In 2005 Toms Ērenpreiss, the great nephew of Gustavs Ērenpreiss decided to restore the once so famous brand and opened Ērenpreiss bicycle restoration workshop and restored more than100 historical bicycles. In 2012 Toms Ērenpreiss launched hes first bicycle collection applying knowledge and skills gathered in long years of restoration work.

Today we are team of 12 who work sholder to sholder to produce bicycles that stand for honesty, functional design and outstanding cycling experiance. Our bicycle collection is rather small - it consists of 6 bicycle models in different colours but they all are exquisite. Please take a look at our website for pictures: http://erenpreiss.com/en/bikes/

As we can't yet afford TV commercials, we are planning to use our social networks to promote our video so we really hope you would collaborate with us as video idea is related to american comic-book style and it is very hard to find local narrator with decent pronunciation and no accent :)

Here are recent aticles from Forbes and The Guardian about us:
