Starway, a French electric bicycle brand based in Touraine, has successfully completed a judicial restructuring process, as confirmed in a recent statement. This legal procedure, which began on December 16, 2025, was initiated after the company faced a cessation of payments on November 1, 2025. Judicial restructuring is a legal process used in France to help businesses in financial trouble reorganize their debts and operations, often with the support of a court. Initially, the process was set to end on June 16, 2026, but was extended by six months to December 16, 2026, following a court decision in May 2026. Starway attributed its financial difficulties to a customs control issue, which led to the cancellation of a recovery notice just two days after the restructuring process began. This cancellation had a significant impact on the company's cash flow, prompting the need for judicial restructuring to ensure the company’s continued operation, job security, and the protection of its business partners. Starway currently employs around forty people and serves approximately 40,000 customers through more than 250 dealers across France. Founded in 1985 by Claude Grégoire, the company has been producing electric bicycles since 2013. Its models are designed in Tours and assembled in France, emphasizing local production. In its recent communiqué, Starway announced plans for a new product line for 2027 and highlighted ongoing innovation. Despite the financial challenges, the company’s operations have continued during the restructuring period. Recent testing of the Starway Touring GT model demonstrates that production and development efforts have not been interrupted. This indicates that Starway is on track to reintegrate into the market with new products and a renewed focus on innovation and stability.
