German Electric Scooter Brand Kumpan Acquired By Indian Firm Lohia

German brand E-bility GmbH, the parent company of electric scooter specialist Kumpan, has been facing some financial difficulties in recent years. The brand, which first opened its doors in 2010, develops and manufactures a variety of electric scooters. Unfortunately for Kumpan, its parent company E-bility was forced to file for bankruptcy in February 10, 2023. 

It's a shame, really, as Kumpan has quite an impressive electric scooter in the form of the Kumpan 54i, a retro-style city runabout. At the time of filing for insolvency, the brand cited that it had 75 employees on its payroll, all of whom have had their salaries covered by the Federal Employment Agency only until the end of March 2023.
