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。

挪威新創輪胎製造商reTyre為近一步提升快速成長動能，採取多項措施，並取得良好進展。該公司在最新一輪募資中獲得700萬歐元的資金，由Hatch Blue旗下Blue Revolution領投，並有Fundracer及既有投資者參與。此次投資預計用於擴大產能、完成現有訂單，並幫助公司實現獲利。

Amid ongoing revenue slides and restructuring efforts to counter losses, Canyon Bicycles GmbH has announced large-scale job cuts. The German bicycle brand will cut 320 of its 1,600 employees, equivalent to 20% of its workforce.

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 scale and integration of various smart technologies make this a statement product for the future of e-bike developments.

After what it called a "stabilisation process" under an ad-interim CEO, speed pedelec manufacturer, myStromer AG, will continue under the leadership of Marcel Korner, effective 1 May 2026. In the role of chief executive officer (CEO), Korner will also become a member of the myStromer AG Board of Directors.

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.

The requirement for replaceable cells in e-bike batteries suddenly became a hot topic in 2023, and the European Commission recently added a new chapter to the discussion. The Batteries Regulation, which entered into force in August 2023, made it mandatory to offer the ability to replace individual battery cells for e-bikes in future. This requirement has been removed in the latest amendment from the European Commission. European Cycling Industries (ECI) welcomes this change, but not everyone is happy.

That 2025 was not going to be a good year for the Taiwanese industry was already evident after Taipei Cycle in March when it became obvious that order books were still empty. The bicycle-producing nation closed 2025 with a 7% drop in e-bike export volume, compared to the record-breaking bad year in 2024. With just under 337,000 units leaving the country and the export value dropping another 3%, it shows the Taiwan industry is still facing an uphill climb to bring production back to pre-pandemic levels.

Technological advancements, in combination with artificial intelligence (AI), are accelerating the market entry of companies offering safety products to collect rider information. Irish Luna Systems, which developed an on-bike camera and warning system, is one of them. "Customers are already buying this kind of technology — which improves safety but also collects data — in automobiles," says Andrew Fleury, CEO of Luna Systems. "In cycling, these kinds of products are just not offered enough to them, except for the enthusiast's road market."

荷蘭，海倫芬（HEERENVEEN）¬－Velo-ce S.R.L.今日宣布收購Accell Group旗下鈦合金自行車品牌Van Nicholas。義大利企業Velo-ce以自家生產自行車及先進設備的米蘭廠聞名，未來將全權負責生產並銷售Van Nicholas自行車。

美國，芝加哥（CHICAGO）¬－高性能零件品牌SRAM宣布，將於今年冬季推動兩項重要的銷售通路擴展計畫，透過策略性經銷合作，完善在地服務並擴大全球布局。此次在南非及東歐建立的新通路合作，顯示該公司著重掌握自行車售後市場的增長需求。

Norwegian start-up tyre manufacturer, ReTyre, has announced a series of positive developments reinforcing its rapid momentum. The company has secured €7 million in new funding in a round led by Hatch Blue's Blue Revolution Fund, with participation from Fundracer and existing investors.

Pacific Glory Worldwide Ltd (PGW), owned by the Taiwan-based manufacturer Ideal Bike Corporation, has opened a new United States distribution channel, PGW USA. It will oversee sales and support for the Fuji, SE and Tuesday bicycle brands in the US market. It says it will focus on retailer success and long-term sustainability, but open questions remain regarding the current distributor, BikeCo.

Brompton returned to meaningful profitability in early 2025, according to its most recent financial results, after a near-breakdown in 2024. In the period ending 31 March, 2025, operating profit rebounded sharply to £130,476 (€150,200) compared to the £4,602 (€5,300) reported by the United Kingdom folding-bike brand in 2024. Despite this soft rebound in profit, the company's annual data shows an overall £2 million (€2.3 million) loss in profit and a 7.5% drop in bike unit sales.

The bicycle industry has rarely faced a period as prolonged and complex as the years following Covid. Supply-chain disruptions, volatile demand, excess inventory and rising competition - particularly from Asia - have tested even long-established suppliers. For Herrmans Bike Components, a Finnish manufacturer with more than 60 years of history, the past three years have been less about weathering a short-term crisis and more about adapting to a fundamentally new and less predictable reality.
