KSR picks up Segway, Access and QJ
This summer, Austria's KSR Group built on its survival of a near death bankruptcy protection filing by 'getting back on the horse' with a three-brand portfolio expansion.
Currently undergoing restructuring, KSR has taken over the import and distribution of Segway Powersports, Access Motor and QJ Motor - the objective being to strengthen its offer for dealers in the German-speaking market. The company is banking on there being high growth potential in the ATV, SSV and UTV sectors.
"Our three new brands stand for innovation, adventure and fun at a high but affordable level. With this variety of products, we can fulfil all customer wishes," say Christian and Michael Kirschenhofer, Managing Directors of the KSR Group.
In July, the KSR Group took over the Access Motor brand from Michael Leeb Trading GmbH for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary and is responsible for the entire aftersales area for all vehicles already delivered and sold to end customers.

The deal with Segway Powersports sees KSR taking over import and distribution for Germany and Austria from Herkules Motor GmbH & Co. KG.
KSR is also now the new general importer of QJ Motor motorcycles and quads for the German and Austrian markets - taking over from Hans Leeb GmbH. Within the next 18 months, a full range of up to 25 models of motorcycles, scooters and quads is to be built up together.
In the motorcycle segment, the focus is on the adventure range from 550 to 700 cc. In 2025, the aim is to quickly expand to 1,000 cc. In the four-wheel segment, the company is starting with two models with 600 and 1,000 cc - ATV, SSV and UTV from 300 to 1,000 cc are to follow the portfolio in the next season.
