With nearly three decades of experience in customised battery pack development and manufacturing, SCUDPower is strengthening its commitment to European e-bike and micro mobility manufacturers. A planned joint venture development and production facility in Poland marks the next step towards closer customer collaboration and a stronger local presence.
ENYRING, the battery swapping subsidiary of Yamaha Motor, has started a pilot with fleet partners in Berlin. 7 of the 20 planned swapping stations are installed. The pilot began at the end of October 2026 and runs for up to three months before a commercial launch.
While riding an e-bike is inherently sustainable, the bicycle industry—which likes to present itself as a driver of the green mobility transition—has so far struggled to find practical solutions for end-of-life batteries and motors. However, emerging approaches in motor repair offer promising perspectives for the trade.
French sports retailer Decathlon has taken a stake in VoltR, a French company that builds new lithium-ion batteries from cells recovered from used e-bike, e-scooter and power tool batteries.
E-bike manufacturer Tenways has partnered with supply chain traceability platform Minespider to implement digital battery passports across its product lineup, ensuring compliance with upcoming European Union regulations.
E-bike motors are becoming more powerful, and the batteries powering them need to keep up. Higher peak power means the battery needs to deliver more current, making it important to manage both current flow and heat. For Joycube, this is where tabless/multi-tab cell technology comes into play, helping meet these demands by improving how current flows through the cell.
