Eurobike’s dialogue process with mobility and bike industry players, which was put in motion earlier this year, is providing “strong feedback and fresh ideas” according to the show’s organisers Fairnamic in a recent update. The discussions are paving the way for the trade show’s future as a platform which fully reflects the wider world of light mobility.

LEVA-EU will be present at the 2026 show with a stand in Hall 12, and will be presenting our traditional information meeting at lunchtime on Thursday 25 June. We are actively involved in Eurobike’s efforts to set out the course for the show after 2026, with our belief that the bicycle and light electric vehicle (LEV) industries can reinforce each other and stimulate innovation central to our expectations for the show’s future.

The value of meaningful dialogue

Philipp Ferger, Managing Director of Fairnamic GmbH, said,“We try to speak with as many representatives of the industry as possible. The industry is undergoing transformation. This makes a leading trade fair like Eurobike all the more important, as it serves as a global point of reference and platform for exchange. Above all, Eurobike 2026 will also mark the communications starting point for the new leading-trade-fair concept developed together with the industry, which is set to launch in 2027. We are pleased that key players are already backing us this year by presenting their innovations.”

The 2026 edition will be spread across three exhibition hall levels and the outdoor area, with major industry brands taking part. Fairnamic states that, “this underscores the commitment of strong players from the entire value chain, from components and drive systems to full-service providers as well as mobility and infrastructure solution providers. A compact hall concept with the theme worlds of Sports & Performance, Leisure & Ecomobility and Global Sourcing provides clear guidance for visitors.”

Arnd Franz, CEO of the Mahle group of which LEVA-EU member Mahle Smartbike Systems is a part of, outlined his company’s view on the value of Eurobike: “For over ten years, we have been successful in providing complete systems comprising drive units, batteries, displays, software and digital services for city, gravel and road bikes. Today, there are just under a million e-bikes on the road worldwide fitted with Mahle products. At this year’s Eurobike, we are presenting our range of current drive systems, including our latest M40 for e-mountain bikes, which can also be fully integrated into our Smartbike ecosystem. We are using the trade fair for strategic discussions with our partners and, in the demo area, we are demonstrating how Mahle is helping to shape the development of the industry through system expertise and targeted innovations.”
