Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2024, Taipei Cycle is expected to attract over 20,000 visitors with 3,400+ booths from 900+ exhibitors. From bicycles and ebikes, to components, accessories and the latest from the world of cargo bikes, TAIPEI CYCLE provides global brands, manufacturers, and innovators with the best gateway to Asia.

From cold temperatures to wet roads, winter is a true test of endurance for bicycle components. It's in these challenging conditions that high-quality products distinguish themselves from the rest. A prime example of such resilience and reliability are the IP67-rated e-bike torque sensors from Autorq. We spoke with the founder, Ying-Tsao Tan, about the importance of high-quality torque sensors for premium e-bikes and his plans for the future.

Folding bike manufacturer Dahon chaiman Dr. David Hon has developed a patented technology called Deltec for all new Dahon bikes. This technology empowers folding bikes with unmatched strength and speed, surpassing the performance of conventional mountain and road bikes on the market.

France is rapidly adopting e-bike trends that we have been seeing in other European countries for some time. Production of e-bikes in France (52%) now officially exceeds regular bike production. The growth is especially noticeable in the higher market segment and in the booming e-cargo bike market. It's there that A&C Solutions' account manager Mathys Huvelin is supporting manufacturers with made-to-measure Higo connectors and cable harnesses.

Leading folding bike manufacturer Dahon chairman Dr. David Hon has announced he has uncovered design flaws in various types of bicycles, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and some e-bikes. By examining frame flex and its impact on performance, Dr. Hon has developed theoretical and experimental methods for practical frame flex measurement.

Magene has independently developed a new solution for e-bike systems, composed of a controller, display, torque sensor, radar sensor, electronic shifting and an app. All components are fully adapted and connected and can be displayed and set via the app. Upgrades, updates, and the maintenance of software and hardware products can also be completed via the app, to maintain the best riding status for an e-bike at any time.

In recent years, e-bike manufacturers faced a tradeoff: whether to adopt powerful yet heavy motors or lightweight and low-performing ones. Until now, these two options were considered mutually exclusive, however, a new drive unit could change the game.

As European cities face urbanization, environmental concerns and the ever-growing demand for efficient last-mile delivery, cargo bikes have become instrumental in shaping the future of urban transport. As the demand for cargo bikes continues to increase, manufacturers need a reliable partner to help streamline and optimize their assembly processes and meet market demands.

Taipei Cycle, the leading cycling industry show, held a press conference this week to present its grand vision for TAIPEI CYCLE 2024. Following an intensive two-day visit, twelve international media representatives from nine countries came together to gain a deeper understanding of new benchmarks within the industry, embracing themes of Micro-mobility, Innovations & startups, Green action and Culture & lifestyle.

Amidst global shifts, disruptions in supply chains, and a renewed focus on environmental responsibility, many bicycle industry leaders are re-evaluating their reliance on overseas production sites. In the midst of these shifts, Poland is positioning itself as an increasingly attractive hub for investment and manufacturing. Numerous success stories reveal that, from family-established ventures to innovative startups, Polish companies are making significant strides, establishing a strong presence both at home and throughout Europe.
