In Europe's rapidly changing urban mobility market, a quiet transformation is taking place. "While many brands continue competing on specifications and price alone, we are moving in a different direction," says Toni Pavic, head of marketing and branding, and partner at Lemmo. "We are building a new generation of intelligent, connected light mobility products designed around real urban lifestyles."

The global e-bike market is transitioning from specification-only toward efficient, scalable solutions, that increase operational efficiency. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), managing diverse product lines create significant supply chain complexity. Adopting a unified drive system platform offers a strategic way to reduce time-to-market, development costs, streamline assembly, and respond dynamically to shifting consumer demands.

Valeo is not a name the bicycle industry traditionally follows closely. For decades, the French group has been a key player in the automotive world, supplying technologies that end up inside millions of vehicles. But as cycling becomes increasingly relevant for urban mobility and logistics, Valeo has entered the e-bike market with a clear message: this is not a trial run, but a long-term strategy.

In the early days of e-bikes, the race was simple: more torque, more watts, more bragging rights. But today, the real battleground is somewhere else entirely, efficiency, intelligence and rider safety.

With the ongoing market correction still affecting purchasing decisions and budgets, and geopolitical uncertainty, including the war-related tensions, derailing international travel, the Taipei Cycle Show 2026 was never expected to be a loud, booming comeback edition.

There are products in the bicycle industry whose quality is widely respected and well known among insiders, even if their name rarely appears in the spotlight. THUN is a prime example of this. But that is about to change.

The way power moves through a bicycle is changing. Higher torque, smarter integration, and riders demanding more from their drivetrains across every category are reshaping what the industry expects from its components. Gates has been anticipating this shift for years, and the conversation around belt drive has never been louder. The word "conversation" is intentional.

Building on three decades of expertise and innovation, China Cycle has evolved into a pivotal hub shaping global trends in the two‑wheeler industry. This year's event will span 13 exhibition halls, presenting a full lineup of bicycles, components, and related technologies. Upgraded trade matching sessions and cross‑border procurement services will further provide exhibitors and global buyers with streamlined, high‑impact networking opportunities.

At Eurobike 2025, Joycube showcased their semi-solid battery solution that combines solid-state benefits with practical production. Joycube R&D manager Olivia Huang explains how it is designed to meet the needs of both the Chinese and European e-bike markets.

As eBike drive systems grow increasingly sophisticated, the ability to diagnose, update, and repair quickly has become a defining part of a positive customer experience. At Bafang, service is a strategic pillar, its philosophy is simple: "Service is about keeping riders riding."
