E-bikes powered exclusively by a generator are considered technically innovative, but until now, they have been difficult to classify legally. This is going to change with the publication of the German standard DIN 31067. Though limited to Germany only, it may apply elsewhere in the EU if adopted or referenced.

The European bicycle industry is one year into the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) set by the European Union, and a recent spate of recalls has raised the question, are these just a series of isolated quality lapses, or part of the broader impact of the GPSR?

Viiala, the Swiss-based mobility company, has entered a strategic partnership with Spoke to integrate its V2X technology directly into its premium e-bikes.

Fresh rumours are circulating that Accell Group has entered its second debt restructuring in little more than a year, and they're creating quite a stir in the market.

Speaking at CES, which took place this month in Las Vegas, Nick Howe, head of e-bike worldwide at Segway, made it clear that the company's ambition goes well beyond launching new models. Segway wants to transplant proven automotive and powered two-wheeler technologies into cycling.

Belgium in January was the place to be this winter, and not just for the Benelux bicycle industry, but for the global market. Velofollies , beyond capitalising on the Eurobike implosion, is centred in a growing, mature market for both performance and mobility cycling. Although market data will not start trickling in across Europe for a couple of months, figures presented during Velofollies show that Belgium is starting the year on the back of a 7.7% increase in sales volume in 2025. With sales back in the plus and renewed optimism in the local market, it was almost impossible for Velofollies not to deliver this year.

The Dutch manufacturer Gravaa, which developed a unique tyre pressure system based on a pump integrated in the hub, has gone bankrupt. They became known as pioneers of a technically impressive system that allowed cyclists to adjust tyre pressure from the handlebars while riding. "Without fresh funding, there was unfortunately no other viable option," wrote Gravaa, in a statement.

2025年對台灣自行車產業而言並不順遂，這部分早在去年3月的台北自行車展便可看出端倪，當時各家公司的訂單量仍未見起色。年末統計顯示，台灣電動自行車出口年減7%，比表現已經不佳的2024年更低迷。全年出口量僅33.7萬輛，出口額再下滑3%，顯示台灣自行車產業仍面臨要把產量拉回疫前水平的艱難挑戰。

電動自行車電池是否須具備可更換單顆電池芯相關規定在2023年成為熱門話題，歐盟執行委員會（European Commission）近期對此的討論也有了新進展。於2023年8月正式生效的《電池法》，規定未來的電動自行車電池必須能夠更換單顆電池芯。不過，歐盟執委會在最新提出的修正案中，已刪除這項規定。歐洲自行車產業協會（European Cycling Industries，簡稱ECI）對此表示歡迎，但並非所有人都認同。

Following its acquisition by Yamaha, the brand-new Qore e-bike system is hitting the ground running with a powerful boost in performance. In the first quarter of 2026, both versions of the Drive³ drive unit will receive an impressive update in terms of power, torque, and assistance factor. The Berlin-based system will soon be available in the new e-bike models from Campus and Waldbike.

The influx of new concepts and ideas in the rapidly expanding bicycle and e-bike industry leads to market entry by less experienced company founders. "They don't have the business expertise, don't know business fundamentals when it comes to the legal set-up of an entity, marketing and pricing, let alone funding," said Zoe Rose Maddox of the Arkansas Global Cycling Accelerator. "We target the group that is ready to scale and fine-tune their operation."

Bolt has expanded its shared micromobility fleet with the introduction of its first entirely in-house e-bike. With their design vision, Bolt aimed to reset expectations of what shared cycling can offer riders and cities.

The Czech industry just can't seem to regenerate the local e-MTB market. Czechs are primarily focused on off-road e-bike use, and e-MTB models were a strong segment in 2025, but this category is still threatened and burdened by the ongoing sales crisis since 2023. Still, there are positive signs coming from this important production base for the EU market.
