Solifer Oy is a Finnish manufacturer of bicycles, boats, mopeds and travel trailers.[2][3][4] The company was founded in 1954, and it started as a dynamo manufacturer.[1] As of 2007, the company's bicycles are manufactured in Poland, boats in Finland, mopeds in China, and travel trailers in Dorotea, Sweden.[1]

In 2014, approximately a fifth of the 250,000 bicycles sold in Finland were Solifers.[5]

Alongside Tunturi, Solifer was one of the significant moped manufactures in Finland from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s. From 1958 to 1984, around 175,000 Solifer mopeds were manufactured, of which over 20,000 were exported outside Finland.[6] Solifers were distributed by AB Bensow Oy.

With approximately 1,200 registrations in the first half-year of 2010, China-manufactured Solifer BT49QT was the most registered moped in Finland at that time.[7]
