About us
We see ourselves as part of the tradition of German medium-sized businesses: top-notch craftsmanship and a spirit of innovation, success through quality. Solving problems in the best possible way to satisfy our customers. We are thinkers in blue overalls.
Only on a motorcycle do you get that unique contact with the road. The rain is colder, the midday heat hotter. The wind in your face, the sun low on the horizon. Out here you can enjoy the simplicity of things. You notice how little you need. No self-driving car, no room service, no queuing at the buffet.
On two wheels you simply ride wherever you please. The “lack” of storage space gives you the freedom to shed unnecessary ballast and focus on what matters. A lightness sets in that feels almost unimaginable in our times.
That is the goal we have set ourselves: to develop and offer motorcycle equipment that supports this feeling of freedom and lightness – gear that strengthens the bond between rider and machine.
Who we are
Two guys who love riding, who (mostly) pick the bike over the car and can still get a kick out of a loud exhaust. We are happiest on two wheels, with a sleeping bag and a toothbrush, out under the thousand-star hotel. In the morning, swinging a leg over the saddle: the smell of leather, sweat and oil in your nose, a visor-shaped sunburn on your face. Whether it is a Simson bird-series moped, a two-stroke Russian moped or a Chinese enduro. A brutal Italian V4 monster or, on second thoughts, a gentle German 1200 touring engine. High-tech or low-tech, we ride anything with a spark plug and two wheels.
Engineer and model maker – two perspectives on the same thing. In the workshop we sit down over every part together: we calculate, we build, and we argue productively about how it should ultimately be done. It is exactly this back-and-forth that is the reason our products don’t just look good on paper.
We see ourselves in the tradition of the German Mittelstand: top-class craftsmanship and a love of innovation, success through quality. Solving problems in the best possible way to keep customers happy. We are thinkers in blue overalls.
Where we come from
It all started in 2008, our first trip together: two of us on one motorcycle – 20 minutes later in the ditch, then off to the car wash to get rid of the evidence, another 40 minutes after that we called it quits at the car wash and rolled back home in shame. 2010: geared up, 2 × Suzuki SV 650 S and off to Scotland. Still wet behind the ears, but now with a few more crashes and plenty of single-track roads under our belt.
Two years later, together in South America: frustrated with backpacking, we spontaneously bought two 250cc Chinese mopeds at a local market in Bolivia – originally just to cross the salt flats. Half a year, a lot of corruption and some questionable meals later, we were standing in Alaska. Once we had caught our breath, Vietnam, the Balkans, the Allgäu-Orient Rally, countless stages of the Trans Euro Trail and North Africa followed.
Here is where you will find our travels.
The Thinkery
Buoyed by adventures we had mastered and carried by a shared Christian conviction, in spring 2017 a company was founded: BEROTEC GmbH.
We started out with our own savings, where these things tend to start: in the garage and a basement office at home, between the workbench and shipping boxes on the living-room table. When that got too cramped, we rented ourselves into an old beverage store – more space, still improvised, but finally enough room for staff, for milling, wrenching and stacking. Today BEROTEC Motorrad is written on the outside of our own company building in Kürnbach. A lot has changed, but we still prefer solving problems to managing them.
Who works with us
Two guys in a garage have turned into a small team. No corporate departments, just people you run into over a Kaltstart in the morning, who know they are an important part of the company.
The fleet
We don’t have a showroom, we have a fleet. The tools of the trade are usually dirty, taken apart or running on empty. The illusion of a complete, clean motorcycle usually lasts only for a brief moment, when Johannes gets out the camera to shoot product photos or videos.

How we work
We only offer products we use ourselves. Products that make sense, that excite the rider and make everyday life easier – without overloading it. “Less is more” is our top priority. We test everything ourselves, and only once we are convinced by a solution do we offer it.
Our goal: to develop motorcycle equipment that supports the feeling of freedom and lightness and strengthens the bond between rider and machine. Developed and manufactured in Germany, tested worldwide.
🇩🇪 Made in Germany. For us that is not a marketing sticker, it is a standard we hold ourselves to. We develop, mill and assemble right here in Kürnbach, we love our country and our workbenches – and we stand by it.
And now?
In the end, we are not a brand that wants to sell you an adventure. The adventure usually costs nothing but getting over your own hesitation. What we make is the gear for it – well thought-out and honest.
Enjoy our products. And if you want to know where we are out riding: you will find videos and trip reports on YouTube, Instagram and on our travel page.
