European Cycling Industries (ECI) launches Manifesto to combat non-compliant e-bikes and tampering kits.

SUPER73, the American lifestyle adventure brand specializing in electric bikes, is taking things a step further with the expansion of its European distribution network with three new official partners in France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The introduction of an updated certification standard for electronic security systems on e-bikes is intended to further reduce theft figures. An estimated 100,000 e-bikes are stolen every year, just in the Netherlands. Official statistics on e-bike thefts in other EU countries is not available. However, as e-bikes become more valuable, strong security is also becoming more important.

One of the biggest bicycle companies in the world that some weeks ago went bankrupt, initiated the industry-changing e-bike trend. But the huge e-bike success also brought about the demise of the company. What happened in those years? To honour his induction into the E-bike Hall of Fame, the founder and former chief editor of Bike Europe, Jack Oortwijn, shares his thoughts on the biggest change during his bicycle industry career, the rise of the e-bike.

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."
