Bankrupt, but Bicycles from Batavus and Sparta Continue to Sell Strongly
Despite Accell Group's bankruptcy, sales of brands like Batavus and Sparta continue due to significant unsold inventory worth 48 million euros. Maarten Akkers of Bovag Fietsbedrijven noted that warranties remain valid through retailers, and over 60 parties have expressed interest in acquiring the company or its brands. The collapse was attributed to unsold stock and costly recalls involving Babboe cargo bikes.
