Eurobike 2026 will provide the stage for a new partnership in the European e-bike industry. German bicycle manufacturer Raymon Bicycles and Italian drive system specialist OLI eBike Systems introduce a new generation of e-bikes powered by OLI's PICO mid-drive motor.

In Europe's rapidly changing urban mobility market, a quiet transformation is taking place. "While many brands continue competing on specifications and price alone, we are moving in a different direction," says Toni Pavic, head of marketing and branding, and partner at Lemmo. "We are building a new generation of intelligent, connected light mobility products designed around real urban lifestyles."

Leading bike subscription company Swapfiets has further strengthened its position in the European market by acquiring Berlin-based e-bike subscription provider Dance.

The global e-bike market is transitioning from specification-only toward efficient, scalable solutions, that increase operational efficiency. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), managing diverse product lines create significant supply chain complexity. Adopting a unified drive system platform offers a strategic way to reduce time-to-market, development costs, streamline assembly, and respond dynamically to shifting consumer demands.

Valeo is not a name the bicycle industry traditionally follows closely. For decades, the French group has been a key player in the automotive world, supplying technologies that end up inside millions of vehicles. But as cycling becomes increasingly relevant for urban mobility and logistics, Valeo has entered the e-bike market with a clear message: this is not a trial run, but a long-term strategy.

As China looks to cross the threshold from being 'big' to becoming 'strong,' China Cycle showed that that shift is already happening. Once a domestic event known for wacky products and cheap copies, 2026 marked a new evolution for the show as it looks to lead the global bicycle market. With a noticeable increase in the number of international visitors, many left wondering how long other nations will be able to compete with the nation's pace of innovation and manufacturing prowess.
