Swiss engineering team (public names vary by period)
Best Known For:
Early production electric off-road bikes and track-day ‘e-park’ concepts
Company History
Quantya was among the first to sell ready-to-ride electric dirt bikes, proving that quiet, low-maintenance off-road riding could be commercially viable. Lightweight frames, swappable battery packs, and simple drivetrains made them ideal for urban-edge tracks and rental fleets, where noise restrictions and maintenance costs punish petrol equivalents. Quantya also promoted closed-course ‘e-parks’ with standardized charging and spares, turning electrics into a turnkey business. Though competition has grown and the brand’s visibility has fluctuated, its impact lingers: many riders first experienced electric throttle control, regen, and silent traction on a Quantya. Historically, the brand pushed the conversation from ‘if’ to ‘how’—thermal management, waterproofing, and business models for electric off-road fun.
