Online Magazine: E-bike innovations revealed at Taipei Cycle

Where is the shifter? Riders getting on the new Amflow TL for the first time at Eurobike 2026 might well ask that question. The cockpit looks clean and uncluttered, yet the familiar shifter of a conventional derailleur system is nowhere to be seen.

Avinox is expanding its e-bike system offering with a new handlebar-mounted control display that combines motor controls, electronic shifting and rider information in a single unit. The move underlines the company's ambition to offer OEM's a more integrated e-bike platform.

On the question of when Bosch would introduce an e-bike hub motor, Bosch eBike Systems CEO Claus Fleischer always consistently stated that this was not part of their product philosophy. However, the market is changing, which has made Bosch decide to expand into an all-new category for them: the stylish urban e-bikes.

Navee, best known in European and US markets for its premium e-scooters, has taken a significant step into the European e-bike market. An official launch event on 1 April in Munich, Germany, marked the Chinese mobility brand's "pedalling" debut in Europe, where it aims to compete, for the most part, in the mid-price segment with its speed-pedelec, e-bike and cargobike solutions. Bike Europe spoke to the company at the Taipei Cycle Show to find out more.
