OLI eBike Systems, a leading player in the electric mobility industry, is transforming urban mobility with its latest innovation, the PICO drive unit. Under the visionary leadership of CEO Giorgio Gavioli, OLI eBike Systems is committed to meeting the evolving needs of electric bike users.
Giorgio Gavioli, an industry veteran with over 25 years of experience as CEO of the OLI Group, founded OLI eBike Systems in 2015. His passion for bicycles and expertise in the motor industry inspired him to create products that merge high-quality components with urban mobility demands. Since assuming the role of CEO at OLI eBike Systems in March 2024, Gavioli has spearheaded the company’s mission to become a leader in the e-mobility and daily commuting sector.
To expand its production capacity and cater to key markets, OLI eBike Systems is establishing a new facility in Vietnam, adding to its existing plants in Italy and China. This strategic move will enhance efficiency and allow the company to respond more swiftly to customer demands.
The highlight of OLI eBike Systems’ innovation is the PICO drive unit, a compact and aesthetically integrated motor designed specifically for urban use. With dimensions of just 182x101x155mm, the PICO drive unit seamlessly blends into e-bike frames, creating sleek and discreet models without compromising on functionality. The drive unit weighs less than 2.5 kg, making it one of the lightest in its market segment, ideal for city e-bikes that prioritize versatility and maneuverability.
In addition to its compactness and lightness, the PICO drive unit is designed to operate quietly, contributing to a more comfortable riding experience and reducing noise pollution in cities. The drive unit also offers flexibility in battery choice, accommodating both Slim and Plus brackets, which support batteries ranging from 370 Wh to 630 Wh.
With a torque of 70 Nm, the PICO drive unit empowers riders with rapid acceleration and ample power to conquer any urban challenge. Gavioli emphasizes the importance of this feature, stating that high torque enables agile navigation in urban traffic and effortless tackling of steep inclines, particularly significant for commuters in hilly or sloped cities.
What sets the PICO drive unit apart is its competitive price, providing excellent value for money without compromising on quality. By making lightweight and high-performing city e-bikes accessible to a broader audience, OLI eBike Systems is opening up new market opportunities.

OLI eBike Systems operates in the electric mobility industry, which is experiencing significant growth as consumers increasingly look for sustainable transportation options. According to market forecasts, the global e-bike market is expected to reach a value of over $38 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of around 11%. This strong market potential presents favorable conditions for OLI eBike Systems to expand its presence and target new customer segments.
One of the key issues related to the industry is the need for improved infrastructure to support electric mobility. As more people adopt e-bikes for daily commuting, there is a growing demand for charging stations and secure parking facilities. Investment in infrastructure will be crucial to encourage the widespread adoption of e-bikes and ensure their seamless integration into urban transportation networks.
Another challenge faced by the industry is the perception of e-bikes as being expensive. However, OLI eBike Systems addresses this issue by offering the PICO drive unit at a competitive price point. This affordability factor is expected to attract a broader audience and drive higher adoption rates.
The establishment of a new production facility in Vietnam is a strategic move by OLI eBike Systems to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and meet the increasing demand for its products. This expansion will also help the company cater to key markets more effectively and respond swiftly to customer needs.
To achieve its market expansion goals, OLI eBike Systems has established a network of branches throughout Europe and beyond. This widespread presence ensures that the company can provide fast, efficient, and accessible service to its customers, further enhancing its reputation in the market.
