Schindelhauer Bikes

The Schindelhauer Brand

Schindelhauer Bikes is a German urban bicycle brand known for combining minimalist design with advanced engineering. Since 2009, the company has been developing high-quality bicycles built around the low-maintenance Gates Carbon Drive belt system — long before belt drives became widely established in the cycling industry.

Designed and developed in Berlin, Schindelhauer bikes stand for clean aesthetics, precision construction, and long-term reliability. The brand focuses on quiet performance, integrated components, and durable materials, making their bikes ideal for modern urban commuting and everyday riding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Schindelhauer bikes different?

Schindelhauer designs technologically advanced yet straightforward bikes with a strong focus on minimalist design and everyday practicality. Many models are built around the low-maintenance Gates Carbon Drive belt system and longevity-focused materials like high-quality aluminium frames and stainless steel parts.

Where is Schindelhauer based and where are the bikes developed?

Schindelhauer started in Magdeburg and moved to Berlin at the end of 2012. Bike design and development, as well as sales and manufacturing management, are handled from Berlin.

Why is Schindelhauer closely linked to belt drive bikes?

From the very beginning, Schindelhauer developed bikes with a belt drive—at a time when it was still largely unheard-of in the bike industry. They describe themselves as the first manufacturer worldwide to develop frames “from the bottom up” around the specific demands of this type of drive.

What does “Singlespeed” mean in Schindelhauer’s philosophy?

Schindelhauer describes singlespeed as a counter-design to increasing complexity: no shifting, no overthinking, and a direct connection between rider and road. The focus is on pure riding joy and a simple, functional setup.

What are Schindelhauer’s stated reasons to choose a singlespeed bike?

Schindelhauer lists benefits such as low maintenance and reliability (no shifting components), lower weight and higher agility, clean minimalist aesthetics, direct power transfer (especially with a belt), and a focused riding experience without shifting.
