HAUSEN, Germany - YT Industries GmbH filed for insolvency in September after its primary investor withdrew funding, a move that ultimately led to the shutdown of YT Industries USA. On Nov. 15, 2025, the newly founded Young Talent Industries GmbH rose out of the ashes and began operations at the Hausen headquarters, once again led by founder Markus Flossmann. But the insolvency also left significant invoices unpaid in Taiwan, and questions as to where the new company will manufacture remain unanswered.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - The ongoing market and inventory issues have seen the total number of e-bikes imported into the European Union drop 13% in the first nine months of this year, compared to the same period last year. Eurostat's latest data also shows a 14% decline in value. Similarly to 2024, in Q3, China has taken the top spot from Taiwan as the leading EU e-bike supplier. But with a difference of just 341 units, there can be no talk of Chinese dominance in Europe - yet.

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - In the first three quarters of 2025, Taiwan's third-largest bicycle manufacturer, Ideal Bike Corporation, achieved total sales of NT$1.91 billion (€53.09 million). This means that the supplier is cruising at almost the same level as in the first nine months of the previous year, with a slight increase of 0.3%.

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - Giant Group recorded a 17% drop in consolidated revenue over the first nine months of this year, the latest figures released by the company's board of directors reveal. With a slow start to the year and a high-profile incident with the United States Government in late summer, the manufacturer reports a 24.9% decline year-over-year in Q3 revenue to NT$15.36 billion (€420 million). A small silver lining is the growth in e-bike sales and the recovering demand in Europe, particularly for its OEM business.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - In response to the renewed global scrutiny of the Taiwan industrial sector's treatment of migrant workers, the Taiwan Bicycle Association has crafted several key resolutions in an effort to increase diligence, compliance and transparency in the supply chain.

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - In the wake of forced labour accusations from the United States, Giant Group is extending its 'Zero Recruitment Fee Policy'. Originally in effect from January 1, 2025, this will now apply to all migrant workers currently employed at the company in Taiwan. "This latest expansion reflects the Group's ongoing institutionalisation and practices of human rights protection and fair employment," the company states.
