Decathlon Pulse acquires majority stake in Bikeleasing Group for 2026 expansion
Decathlon Pulse, a subsidiary of sports retailer Decathlon, has agreed to buy a majority stake in Bikeleasing Group. The deal covers around 65% of the company, including a 52% share currently owned by Brockhaus Technologies AG. Legal firm Latham & Watkins provided advice on the transaction.
The acquisition will see Decathlon Pulse take control of roughly two-thirds of Bikeleasing Group. The remaining shares will stay with existing investors, and the company will keep running independently under its current brands.
The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and standard closing conditions. If all goes as planned, the deal should finalise in the first half of 2026. Latham & Watkins handled the legal aspects of the acquisition, including antitrust guidance. However, the firm has not disclosed the names or roles of the specific lawyers involved.
Once completed, the deal will expand Decathlon’s presence in the bike-leasing market. Bikeleasing Group will maintain its operational independence, keeping its brand identity intact. The closing date depends on meeting all regulatory and contractual requirements.
