BAAS Bike Parts - 20 years of electronic accessories
Dirk Baas spotted that motorcycle and scooter riders were already facing the need for better, more advanced and certainly more ergonomic accessories for the growing use of electronics on PTWs as long ago as 2001 - and the demands being placed on on-board power sources have grown exponentially ever since.
The BAAS business model has always been to sell through wholesalers, distributors and importers, and ever-increasing product demand has meant that Dirk has had to move his company three times since he started. He moved into his current 280 sq m (3,000 sq ft) warehouse and office space of 280 sq m in Abstatt in southern Germany in 2015, where three employees and two freelancers process hundreds of orders for thousands of parts every month.
Today's universal motorcycle and scooter accessories programme includes socket systems, USB chargers, accessory cables, chargers and plastic parts and components.
Dirk has always been quick to respond to the 'direction of travel' in electronic accessories, with new products coming to market regularly. A major accolade for a small business came in 2016 when KTM selected a BAAS USB on-board socket as original equipment on a KTM model - and it can still be selected as an accessory in the KTM vehicle configurator.
