History

Olimpia Kft., the company responsible for distributing Gepida bicycles, started its operations in 1993 by importing bikes from Italy. Following its participation in the Cologne World Expo in 1998, Olimpia Kft. took over Gepida. Headquartered in Budapest’s XVI district, the business expanded both its product lineup and its reach into international markets by the end of the 1990s. The introduction of its initial electric bicycle in 2008 marked a pivotal expansion phase, establishing Gepida as a notable name within the European cycling sector. The brand's growing presence in prominent cycling competitions has further enhanced its market share and reputation.
