德國，什文福（SCHWEINFURT）－改裝電動自行車大幅增加電池著火的風險，高速騎乘需要更大動力輸出，但這與電池管理系統的設定不符，Velotech專家Ernst Brust因此呼籲應強制整合一致的藍芽介面。

BEIJING, China - The bicycle and e-bike industry in China is urgently looking for new market as export to both the European Union and the US have come to a standstill. The high inventory levels in both regions which take up the majority of China's high-end production made importers decide to postpone or even cancel orders.

CHATELLERAULT, France - For 2024 the French automotive and e-bike supplier Valeo projects to manufacture 500 drive units per week, or 25,000 for the whole year. For the next 3 years, Valeo expects to scale the production volumes very quickly.

NANTOU, Taiwan - The transition from a bicycle to e-bike centered industry brought major changes to Taiwan's export industry. New companies have been founded in the past few years while also the country's renowned electronics industry is presenting itself more explicitly in the e-bike industry. One of the recent starters in the e-bike industry is Yota Cycles, founded in 2020.

SCHWEINFURT, Germany - Tuning an e-bike highly increases the risk of the batteries catching on fire. Driving at higher speed requires more energy output which does not match with the setting of the battery management system. Velotech expert Ernst Brust therefore calls for a mandatory integration of a uniform Bluetooth interface.

TURIN, Italy - The success of the first Get Technical event in Budapest last year made organiser 'the sppot' decide to invite the industry for the next edition on surface finishing technologies. Get Technical 2023 is scheduled for 21 and 22 November in Turin Italy.

BERLIN, Germany - The inevitable announcement of the end of online retail giant Signa Sports United N.V. has come after a period of endless speculation. The parent of some online platforms including Wiggle, Chain Reaction Cycles, Probikeshop, Bikestar and Fahrrad.de filed for insolvency at the court in Bielefeld, Germany. This unfolding drama might have a major impact on the instable inventory situation.

YUNLIN, Taiwan - The transformation to a more sustainable bicycle production and products is largely made possible thanks to technological developments of Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers. Formosa Taffeta is one of those companies as they produce tyre carcasses and anti-puncture fabric made of recycled fishing nets.

ÁGUEDA, Portugal - The steadfast dedication to sustainability was one of the reasons to announce Miranda Bike Parts as the Portuguese winner of the European Sustainability Award.

FRANKFURT, Germany - Eurobike organizer fairnamic is expanding its flagship trade fair Eurobike to two new locations. On March 28, 2024, the first Eurobike Istanbul will open its doors in Turkey and from April 30 to May 4, 2024, Asiabike Jakarta is due to celebrate its premiere in Indonesia.
