SIAULIAI, Lithuania - Baltik Vairas had been the single outpost of the bicycle industry in Lithuania and the other Baltic States for many years. Thanks to the modernisation of the company in the past decade it has now made the country one of the potential hot spots for the e-bike industry.

ZEIST, The Netherlands - The turnover, but also the sales result, in the first quarter of the Dutch bicycle market has fallen significantly compared to 2022. What do these Dutch Benchmark findings indicate for the rest of Europe's major bicycle markets in the year ahead?

PADUA, Italy - Extrusion fender manufacturer Eurofender has grown from an ambitious manufacturer of mudguards into a full-fledged European bicycle industry supplier. The recent take-over of tubus and further investments in production processes means that the company is well-placed to weather the current storm. "Our order books are filled for the months ahead," assures founder and CEO Alberto Silvestri.

DHAKA, Bangladesh - In recent years, Bangladesh has raised its profile in bicycle and component production. The country's government is therefore now proposing changes to its customs duties to protect the burgeoning domestic industry.

As the e-bike industry transitions from the early adoption phase to a more mature market, customer service expectations change significantly.

Lightness, compactness and power find their maximum expression in C90A, the first totally 'Made in Italy' e-MTB power unit, ready to be customised according to customer needs.

HOOFDDORP, the Netherlands - The ongoing supply chain challenges have impacted Accell Group's financial position to such an extent that the international credit rating agency Fitch has revised its outlook for the bicycle manufacturer from positive to negative.

AARAU, Switzerland - For the third year in a row, 2022 was not a normal one in the Swiss bicycle market. Although e-bike deliveries rose for the first time to over 200,000 units, with an increase of 17%, the overall market marginally shrank again to 483,562 units. This was due to the decline in traditional bicycle sales.

MUNICH, Germany - For its fourth outing, organiser Huss-Verlag is calling for applicants for the International Cargobike of the Year awards. The award is establishing itself on the market as a platform for rewarding innovation in the young but booming cargo bike industry. The winners will be announced during the IAA Mobility event being held in Munich in September.

ENNS, Austria - Market research by Eightpins shows the potential of telescopic or dropper seat posts for other bicycle categories besides MTBs. A quick lowering of the saddle enables the rider to stand securely with both feet on the ground. This increases safety and comfort because people can remain seated on the saddle while waiting for the green light. An equally interesting application of telescopic seat posts is for cargo bikes.

LONDON, UK - The Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has initiated a transition review this week into anti-dumping and countervailing measures on e-bikes imported in the United Kingdom from China. The TRA will determine whether dumping would be likely to continue or recur if the measures were no longer applied.

LONDON, England - Zoomo, the last-mile electric fleet solution provider, is partnering with cargo bike producer Urban Arrow to enhance its hardware offerings. After a trial period, the European partnership will now see Urban Arrow's e-cargo bikes being fully integrated into Zoomo's all-in-one platform.

KEMPTEN, Germany - Starting just five years ago with an online market place for buying and selling second-hand premium e-bikes, today's business of e-mobility provider Rebike Mobility GmbH's consists of two strong pillars: subscription (which was expanded this year to a B2B business for rental fleets) and used-bikes. But the heart of all this is - refurbishment. Refurbishment is predicted to go big.
