Bicycle Industry Looks Ahead as Eurobike 2025 Sets New Tech Standards
Eurobike 2025 opens its gates from June 25 to 29 in Frankfurt, the world’s top show with 1,500 exhibiting firms from over 60 countries again provides the platform for the latest trends in cycling and ecomobility. At the intersection of mobility transition, sustainability and digitalization, the market unfolds its entire innovative force – ranging from self-sustaining gear systems and ergonomic adjustment systems to intelligent logistics solutions and fast-speed pedal vehicles. E-bikes still reign supreme, but traditional “bio-bikes” are making a pointed statement through innovations. More than ever before, Eurobike2025 is a platform for integrated mobility solutions that extend far beyond the classic bicycle.
Cixi – 8.0 G28
Surely an e-bike has no place on a freeway? The creators of Cixi would say, “Ça dépend.” Their active vehicle Vigoz can reach a pedal-driven speed of up to 120 km/h and will be showcased as a prototype at Eurobike2025. Is it an automobile now, or is it still a bicycle? Or perhaps a brand-new class of automobile? The French creators of Cixi will respond to these questions.
Shimano – 11.0 A50
The entire bicycle market is being dominated by e-bikes, right? Looking at the market figures of the German bicycle industry group ZIV, however, paints a little more complex picture. Electric motors are absent from about half of all new bicycles sold in Germany. Furthermore, the bicycle industry is always innovating new designs for traditional cycles. For instance, the component manufacturer Shimano has developed an automated gear system that is energy-autonomous for cycling on dirt, in cities, and during treks. Its Q-Auto system will be on display during the show.
Honda – 8.0 F16
Last-mile logistics, i.e. the last kilometers of a delivery to the customer, are increasingly becoming a challenge for parcel service providers, but also for public spaces. Automotive and technology company Honda has now announced the founding of the start-up Fastport in the USA. At Eurobike2025, the start-up’s “eQuad” for urban logistics will be presented to the expert public for the very first time. We talk to the developers about the technical details, but also about the potential of the alternatives to vans and similar vehicles for logistics service providers.
Simplon – 11.0 C42
Gravel bikes are considered the last bastion on the bicycle market. Here, electric motors are still the exception rather than the rule. But if you look around among the e-gravel novelties at Eurobike2025, at least you get a clue that this will not remain the case for long. For example, take the new Grid e:Light e-gravel bikes by Simplon: With their new motor system made by TQ, these will not only be a functional, but also an aesthetic highlight of the show.
Hepha – 12.0 A21
Bicycle manufacturer Hepha may still be a relatively new player on the bicycle market. The people behind the brand, however, have a history as proven innovation drivers in the bicycle segment. In this respect, it is perhaps no surprise that ErgoAdjust, a particularly innovative Eurobike2025 novelty, can be found at the Hepha booth this year. ErgoAdjust is a system featuring graduated scales at all contact points on the bicycle. In conjunction with app-based measurements, these are designed to lead to perfect ergonomics. This is demonstrated, among other things, on a new e-trekking line, which in itself already deserves quite a bit of media attention.
Vello – 12.0 B20
The beautiful diversity of the bicycle world often reaches its limits during life in the city when, for instance, storage space is limited or we want to combine several forms of mobility. But with the right bike, such tasks are no longer a great challenge, as the Eurobike2025 presentation of Viennese bicycle manufacturer Vello shows.
Engel/Canyon – 8.0 N04
Injection molding as a production method has been occupying the imagination of the bicycle industry for some time, although the topic is by no means new. While so far, for example, fenders or battery covers for e-bikes are already being injection-molded on a regular basis, manufacturers are now increasingly venturing into producing load-bearing parts using the technique. The advantage: Once set up, large quantities can be produced quickly and cheaply. This year, Eurobike2025 visitors can see what this looks like at the booth of Austrian machine manufacturer Engel. Here, a machine will produce handlebar pre-assemblies for bicycle manufacturer Canyon during the show.
Van Raam – 8.0 D32
Older adults or even younger bikers with mobility impairments can still be mobile with the correct bike. However, who is to say that the matching product offerings must reflect the aesthetics of a hospital bed? The product creators at Van Raam are undoubtedly of a different opinion in the Netherlands, which is recognized as the motherland of bicycle transportation. Their new Thuja tricycle, which had its international debut at Eurobike2025, is designed to be mobile in any situation. Furthermore, Thuja can hold its own at the premier bicycle show because to its cutting-edge design and technology.
Vaude – 11.0 B23
It is probably no surprise that Vaude, of all brands, is setting a remarkable example when it comes to sustainability at Eurobike2025. The company from Lake Constance presents its new TrailControl 20+ ZERO backpack at the show. During the media tour and in conversation with the renowned outdoor and bike supplier. This new backpack model is anything but business-as-usual for Vaude.
KTM – 11.0 C36
From models for daily transportation to leisure and touring bikes to high-performance sports equipment, KTM manufactures bicycles for every market niche. However, the Innviertel-based company is renowned for being a family-run enterprise with an impressive past in addition to being one of the most adaptable bicycle manufacturers. This is why we want to discuss the market situation from the unique viewpoint of a family-owned business in addition to the new goods that riders can anticipate in the upcoming season with the people behind KTM.
Magura – F12.0 B31
Automotive manufacturer Volvo once set itself the target to render accidents caused by its motor vehicles an impossibility one day. What now sounds quite realistic in the automotive world has long since inspired the bicycle industry, too, as we will see with component manufacturer Magura, whose inventiveness in terms of safety with anti-lock braking systems and other solutions is far from exhausted.
