Accell states on its own site that it is the European market leader in e-bikes.

How to check on your own bike
- Look at the motor housing where it meets the bottom bracket shell; the maker is often cast or printed there as a name or logo.
- Read the brand or model name shown on the handlebar-mounted display or control unit when the system is powered on.
- Check whether the system pairs with a smartphone app, and note the app name listed in the phone's Bluetooth or paired-device list.
- Read the type plate, usually fixed to the frame near the head tube or bottom bracket, and the original invoice, which list the drive system specifications.
- Cross-check those details against the dealer's handover paperwork for the specific frame number.
