Electric bikes
Passion, expertise and innovation in a zero emission factory
WAYEL is a trademark of FIVE – Fabbrica Italiana Veicoli Elettrici – the Italian Group that has become, in a few years, the benchmark for electrical and eco-friendly mobility.
Established with the aim of relocating the production of electric bicycles and mopeds from China to Italy following the principles of ZEB (Zero Energy Building), FIVE factory is the first project able to combine energy efficiency, industrial production and environmental sustainability.
FIVE headquarters, located in the industrial heart of Bologna, extends for a total 76,400 square feet, with an area of about 7,535 square feet dedicated to gardens. The automated warehouse consists of 860 posts where 3,200 vehicles can be stored.
The assembly line with 20 workstations, the storage of rough frames’ components and the paint system are integrated into a single rotary system that allows to mount the bicycles in the same circuit bringing the chassis into the paint furnaces.
Furthermore, the industrial plant has areas dedicated to battery production and laboratories, where FIVE researchers carry out their testing activities and develop cutting-edge components for all the e-bikes.

New batteries production by FIVE to guarantee performance and durability
The battery is the primary energy source of the e-bike, it provides the necessary electrical power while riding. FIVE has chosen to embrace the battery market with an in-house production with semi-automatic product-line for its e-bikes, and for OEM solutions.
The choice of FIVE is dictated by the need to guarantee high quality standards: a choice that cannot be separated from a reshoring that started in 2013 with the transfer of electric bike production from China to Italy, and that continues today with the implementation of new departments for the production of e-bikes’ main components.
New motor FIVE F90
F90 central engine is the second generation of FIVE engines: it was conceived for the most demanding riders.
F90 is designed for extreme use; it is the most powerful and the most responsive for a standing start. Just put your foot on the pedal to immediately feel the thrust of the engine.
The difference with its older brother lies in the increased power and more abrupt output to face all the climbs, even the most difficult ones, up to 30% of slope.
