The 2026 Eurobike, the European International Bicycle Trade Show, drew to a close at Messe Frankfurt after four days of intensive industry exchange. Folding-bike innovator DAHON captured attention with the debut of its new 'DAHON-V' technology suite and a portfolio of new bicycles built around it.

"We want to stay on top of innovation, and we love to be leading," Avinox's Product Experience Director, Ferdinand Wolf, told Bike Europe on the final business day of Eurobike. True to his word, the Chinese drivetrain maker surprised many with the launch of its MG concept motor during the tradeshow. The progression from a shared outdoor booth in 2024 to one of Hall 12's defining exhibitors in 2026 marked a shift in how the company is positioning itself as a long-term industry player.

For bike makers, sourcing components is about more than specifications and price. It is about finding partners that consistently deliver on quality, innovation and timing. For Finnish component specialist Herrmans, trust and reliability have been the foundation of its business for more than six decades.

At Eurobike, Gates Belt Drive showcases three new sprocket product families — Cruise, Cruise Plus, and Commute — designed to bring clean, durable and low-maintenance drivetrain technology to more bicycle categories. Alongside the launch, Gates highlights the European support network that helps OEMs turn belt drive innovation into market-ready bikes.

The global e-bike industry has arrived at a crossroads, and the arrival of the Gobao System X platform signals a definitive shift in where the market goes next.

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.
