About us

 

SHINGA consists of a team of young and passionate people with at least a few years experience with electric folding bicycles. They can tell you everything about the various models and can give you customized advice. For a test drive you will receive extensive explanations and our people will take the time for you. Even if you can not make a decision yet.
Not only sales are important to us. What we also find important is that you have years of pleasure with your bike. That is why we also offer service to completely check your bicycle and if necessary replace the worn parts with you. Of course you can also go to your local bicycle shop, but nobody knows more about our bikes than we.

LACROS is the brand name for our bikes.

We regularly attend trade fairs and events to present our bikes. Maybe we meet there! Folding bike Netherlands
