Accell sells about 1.1 million bicycles a year, mainly in the American and European markets.[2]

In 2017, Accell lost the contract to sell bicycles through the outdoor chain Dick's Sporting Goods. This resulted in a yearly net loss of nearly $6 million.[3]

In August 2019, Accell sold Diamondback, Redline, and IZIP Electric Bikes to Regent, LP. Regent and Accell also announced that they will partner for two years to distribute Raleigh, Haibike, and Ghost, which Accell continues to own.[4]
