A first for Switzerland: the Model C at Cycle Week Zurich

City & Mobility

Cycle Week Zurich is the event: the Opium line-up is coming to Switzerland, and for the first time the Model C will be there too, ready to be tested right at the stand.

The Model C stands for pure efficiency in a timeless design. A 1,000-watt rear motor, a removable 1,060 Wh battery, and the Pinion drivetrain with a Gates Carbon Belt make it one of the most thoughtfully engineered urban speed pedelecs on the market. No unnecessary details, no compromises, developed and tested in Switzerland.

At Cycle Week 2026 in Zurich, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the Model C on Swiss soil for the first time. Test rides at the booth, direct conversations with the team, and the chance to discover #yournextcar.
