    After being held in Lauchringen for three years, the German trade event which hosts an array of special bike models including cargo and recumbent bikes, will take place on April 25-26 in Freiburg im Breisgau for the first time next year, to accommodate the increasingly larger range of mobility solutions available for different users.

    Spezi fair organisers Franz Furmaniak, Florian Wolf, and Gabriel Wolf were interviewed about Spezi, and what visitors can expect from its 2026 event, with some key takeaways.

    Larger venue enables broader mobility options to be exhibited, with convenient transportation links

    The Spezi special bicycle trade fair will take place in Freiburg im Breisgau for the first time in 2026, supported by a significantly larger exhibition venue. The move provides roughly one third more exhibition space than its previous location, with the option to expand further in coming years. This additional capacity allows the fair to accommodate a wider range of exhibitors, larger vehicles, and other event features to support its evolution into a dedicated mobility-focused event. It also provides great transportation links, increasing accessibility options for its visitors.

    Cargo bikes as a central theme

    Cargo bikes will be a major focus of the exhibition, benefiting directly from the expanded floor space. Exhibitors will be able to present transport solutions for commercial logistics, last-mile delivery, family use, and leisure applications. The prominence of this segment reflects the rapid growth of cargo bikes as viable alternatives to cars, particularly in urban environments.

    Inclusive mobility and solutions for seniors

    A second key area will highlight mobility solutions for seniors and people with physical limitations, with products such as adapted bicycles, tricycles, and assisted vehicles addressing increasing demand for inclusive mobility options that extend independent movement beyond the conventional bicycle.

    Urban and intermediate mobility vehicles

    The fair will also devote space to intermediate mobility concepts that bridge the gap between bicycles and light motor vehicles, such as light electric vehicles that respond to changing urban transport needs.

    Specialty, touring, and compact bicycles

    Established Spezi segments such as velomobiles, recumbent bicycles, folding bikes, and compact bicycles will remain part of the exhibition. In addition, a dedicated area for touring bicycles will be introduced, targeting cyclists planning longer journeys and allowing traditional manufacturers to present their products alongside specialty designs.

    Accessories and B2B facilitation opportunities

    The expanded exhibition grounds also create more room for the growing accessories sector and for early-stage concepts.

    Spezi’s networking areas and innovation-focused presentations will position Spezi as a platform for exchange and experimentation within the evolving mobility market.

    Special Xmas offer

    Until 31st December, Spezi is offering a 25% discount on purchases for weekend tickets.

    The LEVA EU member recently exhibited its latest electric drive systems with partner VSC Bike GmbH at the Internationale Spezialradmesse (SPEZI) in Lauchringen, Germany.

    From 26-27 April, Pendix, a renowned German electric drive systems manufacturer, demonstrated at SPEZI how its versatile eDrive, eDrive IN, and the newly introduced gDrive can empower a range of bicycles, including e-bikes.

    In addition to Pendix’s own innovations, the company was joined by its partner, VSC Bike GmbH, also a member of the Pendix group. Visitors to booth 211 had the opportunity to explore and test the WorkLoader, a robust and adaptable cargo bike that’s equipped with the Pendix eDriveIN system, designed for diverse professional applications. Also featured was the FINN cargo bike, which can be equipped with the Pendix eDriveIn system, and is now available in three new colors, underlining its appeal as a stylish yet highly practical transport solution.

    Throughout the two-day event, attendees engaged with the Pendix team, explored emerging mobility trends, and took part in hands-on demonstrations. The event was a great demonstration of the company’s commitment to advancing sustainable transport through cutting-edge technology and creative collaboration.

    The international specialty bicycle trade fair SPEZI is set to begin a new chapter as it relocates from Lauchringen to Freiburg.

    Following a vibrant farewell celebration in Lauchringen, organizers have confirmed that the next edition of the event will take place at the Freiburg im Breisgau Exhibition Center on April 25 and 26, 2026.

    The move marks a strategic shift to a city known for its strong cycling culture and accessibility. Freiburg offers improved transport connections, making it easier for visitors from across the region and beyond to attend – even without a car. The new venue also provides expanded exhibition space, opening up more possibilities for modern trade fair formats and interactive displays.

    While the location is changing, the core identity of SPEZI remains intact. Organisers are committed to preserving the event’s distinctive atmosphere, focus on hands-on experiences, and close engagement with attendees as the fair settles into its new home in Freiburg.
