The investment will drive the final development phase and the transition to production of their innovative electric motor for e-bikes, ADTS®. The Aretxabaleta-based cooperative Copreci, with extensive experience in electric motor manufacturing, sees this partnership with Niche as a strategic opportunity for diversification and growth.

Girona, May 6, 2025 – Niche Mobility, a company specializing in technological solutions for light mobility, closed a €1.6 million funding round in March to support the final development and production launch of its innovative ADTS® electric motor for e-bikes.

The capital increase was subscribed by the MONDRAGON Promotion Fund and Copreci, advised by Clave Capital. The round also included participation from existing investors—a group of local business angels (from Figueres and Alt Empordà), led by the CEBA project—who reaffirmed their commitment to the project and Niche’s potential in sustainable and innovative mobility.

Strategic industrial alliance with Copreci
According to Rodrigo Orue, Director of Innovation, New Business, and Digital Transformation at Copreci, “this is fantastic news, as it represents a great fit for an industrial partnership. For a company like Copreci, with deep expertise, technical know-how, and production capacity in electric motor manufacturing, the partnership with Niche represents a strategic opportunity for diversification and growth.”
