ABIMOTA, Portugal's national two-wheeler association, is working closely with the EU to bring bicycle production back home. Now in its 50th year, after starting Portugal Bike Value and BIKiNNOV, ABIMOTA is launching AM2R; an initiative set to redefine the future of the industry with more than 200 companies under its belt.

ÁGUEDA, Portugal - 'Present and Future' is the theme of the international conference focused on the two-wheel sector next week on Wednesday, 28 May. Organised by ABIMOTA's Bike Value Innovation Centre Association, the one-day conference will highlight key industry innovations in Portugal as well as market developments in major European countries.

The AM2R project ('Agenda Mobilizadora para a Inovação Empresarial do Setor das Duas Rodas' - Mobilizing Agenda for Business Innovation in the Two-Wheel Sector) will have a significant presence at Eurobike 2025, demonstrating the growing capabilities of the Portuguese bicycle, e-bike, and soft mobility industry.

AGUEDA, Portugal - 2022 proved to be a very successful year for the Portuguese bicycle and e-bike industry. The total export value increased by no less than 37% from €594 million in 2021 to more than €800 million in 2022. It makes Portugal the largest bike producer in Europe.

AGUEDA, Portugal - Portuguese exports in the two-wheel and soft mobility sector grew 38% in the first half of 2022, Eurostat data confirms. Importantly, e-bike exports grew by more than 60%. For the third consecutive year, Portugal continues to be the largest bike producer in Europe.

AGUEDA, Portugal - The joint booth of the Portuguese bicycle industry at Eurobike last week reflected the positive vibe of the country's industry. A prototype on display was entirely built with high-end components, which except for the tyres were all 'made in Portugal'. At the same time, ABIMOTA, announced a record export level for May.
