The cutting-edge sustainable mobility products and technologies of CIXI, ICE Trikes and Flevobike were demonstrated at the global show, which caters to the specialised mobility market.
CIXI
Spezi was a great occasion for the French chainless technology brand, with four of its clients showcasing its advanced PERS technology on bikes, trikes, handbikes, and cargo bikes. Fellow LEVA-EU members ICE Trikes and Flevobike were among its partners demonstrating the chainless PERS system.
It also gave booth visitors an exclusive preview of its Vigoz light electric vehicle, also shown in its recap video.
ICE Trikes
The British brand exhibited its recumbent trikes and handcycles with partner ICLETTA at the show.
After the recent launch of its collaboration with CIXI, its PERS-equipped trikes took centre stage on its booth, and were received well on the test track, where it was ridden hundreds of times over Spezi’s two days.
The LEVA-EU member recently showcased one of its PERS chainless power train kits on fellow LEVA-EU member Flevobike’s GoLo bike.
CIXI describes its PERS KIT Cargo Dual Motor as a chainless power-train kit which has been innovated for 3-4 wheeler cargo bikes, professional heavy-duty, delivery services and large payloads. Its components can be easily assembled and installed on existing bikes.
Its design has been built around CIXI’s core PERS technology, facilitating design freedom as it significantly decreases maintenance while improving riding experiences. The kit offers a simplified, intuitive pedaling experience, with no gear shifting, as well as extended range, thanks to its regenerative braking.
A video demonstration of the kit can be accessed on CIXI’s LinkedIn.
The PERS catalogue which offers various solutions for a wide range of two-, three- and four-wheeled bikes can be accessed here.
The LEVA-EU member’s electric cargo bike is being used for an innovative project in the Dutch province of Flevoland. Thanks to the Techkwadraat educational initiative, it has been revamped into the innovative “Litter Factory” which will be used for technology education in Lelystad.
The Litter Factory, developed by Flevotech² with support from the Techkwadraat subsidy, is a mobile unit that will be used to inspire primary school students to engage with sustainability and circular technology through practical experience.
Demonstrating its versatility, Flevobike’s GoLo bike has been equipped with the Litter Factory unit that is detachable in under a minute. The unit consists of plastic shredders, an extruder for producing filament, alongside a Dutchy 3D printer. It also includes fold-out solar panels for delivering power to the bicycle’s electric motor, the filament system, and the 3D printer, resulting in a setup that’s self-sufficient and sustainable.
It was recently unveiled by staff and students from the local Porteum high school in a special presentation among other innovative Techkwadraat projects.
Alligt, a pioneer in plastic wheel technology for light electric vehicles and LEVA-EU member, has issued a new policy on the use of its full plastic (PA) wheels with pneumatic tyres. This initiative aims to promote safer use, raise awareness of material limits, and guide both manufacturers and end-users in maintaining optimal wheel performance.
Plastic wheels are known for being lightweight, visually appealing, and cost-effective—but they do have limitations. They are more sensitive to overloading, underinflation, and long-term material creep compared to metal wheels. In response, Alligt has introduced the following measures: • Pressure stickers: All plastic rims will now be labeled with minimum and maximum tyre pressures, suited to specific tyre widths. • Use labels: Wheels and packaging will clearly indicate the intended application. • Online resources: An updated website will soon provide detailed technical guidance. • Improved traceability: New mould markings in CBW1 model, will enhance product tracking and lifecycle management. The mark on CBW1 in 2016 was unreadable and has now been replaced with a standard date marking. • Direct support: Customers can contact Alligt in Dutch, English, or German for personalised support. • No resale without context: Alligt discourages third-party resale of wheels unless accurate usage and configuration info is shared with the end customer.
Alligt recommends the following air pressure guidelines: • CBW1 (27 mm rim): 3.5–5 bar; tyre width 32–47 mm • CBW2 & CBW3 (35 mm rim): 2.5–4.5 bar; tyre width 47–70 mm • CBW5 (50 mm rim): 2.5–4 bar; tyre width 65–100 mm (Up to 5 bar possible with 55 mm cargo tyres on CBW5)
For commercial use or high-stress environments, Alligt advises using its hybrid wheels, which are over five times more durable than full plastic versions. Over 100 hybrid wheels are now in use and delivering strong performance.
Fellow LEVA-EU member Flevobike’s Golo bikes are equipped with Alligt technology.
Product News
In addition to policy updates, Alligt is excited to announce several new products in development or production: • Injection-moulded mudguard: now in production for 20″ (406 mm) wheels, suitable for tyres up to 55 mm wide. A milled variant may work as a disc brakes (mud)guard. • Vacuum-formed velomobile rooftop: lightweight and aerodynamic, now in production to offer weather protection for enclosed bikes. • Alleweder A10: a new rotation-moulded velocar body is under development and may be ready by 2026. This project continues Alligt’s tradition of innovation in practical, sustainable mobility solutions.
