‘Made in Germany’
In June, we are focusing on the Hepco & Becker brand.

Whether for touring bikes, adventure bikes or everyday vehicles, Hepco & Becker offers tailor-made products for over 1,000 motorcycle models, including older models.

Paul Ehrhardt -Senior-
Founder and Managing Director
Origins and tradition – innovation based on experience
The success story of Hepco & Becker began with the clear goal of developing motorcycle accessories that combine functionality and durability. Engineer Franz Becker, a visionary founder, started the company as a one-man operation. Unfortunately, he died in a tragic accident that same year. His student Paul Ehrhard (Senior), who was employed at the time, then took over the business. The name was chosen to commemorate Franz Becker and to reflect the takeover of Hepting & Co. Over the decades, it has developed into a dynamic medium-sized company backed by a dedicated team. Motorcyclists around the world trust in the quality and reliability of the brand.
The brand logo with the rhinoceros
The Hepco & Becker logo features a rhinoceros – a symbol of robustness, strength and tenacity. The rhinoceros represents the values that have always defined the brand: independence and durability. Like the rhinoceros in the wild, Hepco & Becker products are not easily deterred. They are built to withstand even the toughest conditions. This philosophy is reflected in the high quality and durability of all accessories – reliability that motorcyclists worldwide trust.
Luggage systems – perfect solutions for everyday use and every adventure
A highlight of the Zieger range are the license plate holders, which have been specially developed for sporty naked and street bikes. They combine minimalist design with maximum stability. Made from high-quality steel or aluminium, they offer a perfect fit for many popular motorcycle models. Adjustable indicator brackets, integrated reflector holders and simple mounting options make Zieger licence plate holders the ideal choice for anyone who values a clean look and reliable function – naturally with road approval and in the usual Zieger quality.
