長期被視為電動自行車電池下一個突破技術的T&D，已開始量產應用於電動摩托車及電動自行車的半固態（semi-solid-state，簡稱SSS）電池。該公司於中國蘇州的半自動化產線進行組裝，且已迎來第一批客戶，其中最大合作公司為Giant。Giant剛推出新一代電動自行車，是率先成功將半固態電池技術從實驗室概念轉為商業化應用的品牌之一。

The Dutch bicycle industry is less enthusiastic about Eurobike this year than ever before. Many (former) exhibitors have revised their strategies and are skipping the struggling trade fair, according to a survey by Bike Europe's sister publication, Tweewieler. Most brands have stated that they now prefer other ways of connecting with customers.

Messe Frankfurt has taken up the challenge of getting the derailed Eurobike back on track. The once-leading platform for the e-bike and bicycle industry has lost its glamour in recent years. "A key topic that emerged from the more than 50 industry expert interviews we conducted was Eurobike's lack of focus," Philipp Ferger, manager of Eurobike organiser Fairnamic, told Bike Europe in an exclusive interview. "Our first step was to put up an advisory board — a regular vehicle to exchange views with the industry for many trade shows at Messe Frankfurt."

Patent protection sits at the intersection of market competitiveness and innovation in the bicycle industry. In global supply chains, intellectual property (IP) rights can determine who controls a technological advancement and who gets locked out of it. Companies interested in getting ahead are turning to patent protection for both hardware and, increasingly, software.

In close partnership with industry organisations such as Shift Cycling Culture as well as industry leaders, Canyon initiated the development of the Supply Chain Code of Conduct. For this process, expertise on human rights due diligence and environmental responsibility was also brought together.

2027 is already shaping up to be an interesting year on the bicycle industry tradeshow calendar as newcomers look to fill a void in Europe. One of those newcomers vying to offer a B2B platform for the bicycle industry supply chain is CycleExpo.

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."

Long praised as the next frontier in e-bike batteries, T&D has begun production of semi-solid-state batteries for e-motorcycles and e-bikes. Assembled on a semi-automatic production line in Suzhou, China, the company already has its first customers — the biggest being Giant. With its next-generation e-bike just launched, Giant is one of the first to successfully transition semi-solid-state battery technology from a laboratory concept to a commercial reality for the e-bike market.

Leading bike subscription company Swapfiets has further strengthened its position in the European market by acquiring Berlin-based e-bike subscription provider Dance.

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.

Porsche AG宣布，將關閉其電動自行車驅動系統子公司 Porsche eBike Performance GmbH，作為該德國知名車廠整體重整計畫的一環。Porsche AG規劃出售在Bugatti Rimac及Rimac Group的持股後，便發出消息。該公司表示，此決策是為了「重新聚焦核心業務」。Porsche執行董事會主席Michael Leiters表示：「這是成功推動策略重整的重要基礎，也意味著我們必須做出艱難抉擇，調整旗下子公司也包含在內。」

隨著中國極力從「製造大國」邁向「製造強國」，今年中國（上海）自行車展（China Cycle）上已可看出此一轉變。該展過去以奇特產品及平價仿製品聞名，該展在2026年迎來全新蛻變，目標引領全球自行車市場。其國際訪客數量顯著增加，業界亦開始關注，在創新及製造實力快速提升下，其他國家還能與中國競爭多久。

Rotor Components及大股東Lanxi Wheeltop之間爆發爭議。西班牙Rotor Components於5月初發布關於公司陷入財務困難的新聞稿，隨後被多家國內媒體報導。在報導刊出不久後，Lanxi Wheeltop接受本社訪問並否認Rotor Component存在任何財務問題。

位於西班牙巴斯克（Basque）的自行車製造商Orbea 在持續監控市場動態並嚴謹執行責任銷售計畫下，2025年營收僅小幅年減2.3%。相較之下，2024年營收年減8%，這代表獲利能力及利潤在2025年已明顯趨穩。

Ampler Bikes has entered insolvency proceedings following years of financial pressure tied to difficult market conditions, quality issues affecting earlier bike models and a recent commercial dispute related to its Berlin showroom.

In response to industry requests, the Eurobike organiser, Fairnamic, has decided to move the show back to the first week of September, starting in 2027. This was announced after the Eurobike advisory board convened yesterday in Frankfurt to discuss the results of around 50 industry interviews and the feedback from a customer survey. And the new date is not the only change to the concept of the once-leading industry show.

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.

You'd have to have been living under a rock to have missed the 'power-play' that Avinox has brought to the market in the last couple of years with its high-power motors. Until now, the motor manufacturer hadn't articulated its full stance on power and why it's pursuing maximum peak power with its systems. Today, it has pushed back on what it calls "misleading opinions" coming from within the industry.
