    In late March 2025, the Taipei Cycle show will take place at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. As Asia’s largest cycling trade fair, this event will highlight the rising prominence of cargo bikes. To celebrate this development, NieuwsFiets.nu, in collaboration with the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF), is organising a business trip to Taiwan for industry professionals.

    Nieuws Fiets has partnered with the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the organiser of Taipei Cycle 2025.

    Taipei Cycle, alongside Eurobike, is one of the premier trade fairs for the global cycling industry. It attracts leading international suppliers of components and finished products and welcomes a large number of overseas visitors annually. Although the event is held in Taiwan’s capital, it is firmly focused on global markets, providing opportunities for worldwide exports.

    Driving international business growth

    A key highlight of the fair is Bike Vision, a new initiative by Taipei Cycle that showcases groundbreaking innovations and supports startup growth in the cycling industry. This platform provides selected startups with opportunities to display their developments, connect directly with industry leaders, and establish partnerships that can accelerate global business growth, particularly in the Asian market.

    As global awareness of environmental sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives grows, electric bikes and light electric vehicles have become preferred transportation and logistics solutions in Europe and the Americas. Recognising this potential, Taipei Cycle 2025 will dedicate the fourth floor of Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 2, to the E-Bikes & Drive Units and Cargo Bike & Micro-mobility Pavilion. This area will feature a comprehensive showcase and test zone for e-bikes, motor systems, cargo bikes, e-scooters, and light electric vehicles.

    Limited seats for the exclusive business trip

    To align with the focus on cargo bikes, Nieuws Fiets and ICBF are organising an exclusive business trip for representatives of the cargo bike industry. Other industry professionals are also welcome to join this fully arranged trip to Taipei Cycle 2025.

    Please note: Only 20 spots are available for the Taipei Cycle Cargo Business Trip, so early booking is essential to secure your place.

    The package costs €2,895 and includes flights, accommodation at a 5-star hotel, breakfast, dinner on exhibition days, local transport, and airport taxes. This trip is open exclusively to professionals in the cycling or retail industries and is not available to consumers.

  4. LEVA-EU Presentation: Effect E-Bike Dumping on Taiwan

    Comments Off on LEVA-EU Presentation: Effect E-Bike Dumping on Taiwan

    In the framework of the online Taipei Cycle Show, LEVA-EU has contributed to the 2021 Smart Sport and Smart Cycling Forum. In an online presentation, LEVA-EU manager, Annick Roetynck, explained the effects of the EU dumping measures against e-bikes from China on Taiwan.

    This afternoon session included 6 presentations in total. Other contributors were among others Accell CEO, Ton Anbeek, Executive Vice President of Specialized Bicycle Component, Robert Margevicius and WFSGI CEO, Robbert de Kock. The full line-up for this session is here: http://bw.businessweekly.com.tw/event/2021/BeyondExercise

    In October last year, at the request of EBMA, the European Commission suddenly changed the rules of origin for countries with non-preferential status, among which Taiwan. This happened without prior notice and without any transition period.

    Annick Roetynck explained the new rules and how to meet these. She also questioned the need for this change. E-bikes exported from Taiwan to Europe have indeed increased. Following the dumping inquiry in 2018 and the imposition of measures in 2019, some of the assembly was moved from China to Taiwan. However, one would expect that the move of these alleged dumped e-bikes would result in a decrease of the value. Remarkably enough, the opposite happened. In 2019, average value was 5.4% higher than in 2018

     Annick Roetynck’s presentation starts in this Youtube streaming at 2:15:

  6. TAITRA cancels Taipei Cycle Show 2020

    Leave a Comment

    TAITRA has made the final decision to cancel the Taipei Cycles Show for this year.

    Due to the latest developments of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there have been significant travel and logistical restrictions globally. Each government has taken necessary measures to contain the virus and Taiwan Center for Disease Control has also urged the local government to hold or cancel public events with over 1,000 participants.

    To comply with the government’s policy and to put people’s health as top priority, TAITRA, the show’s organizer, has made the difficult decision to cancel the May edition. To meet the industries’ needs, Taipei Cycle will still offer online trade meetings & an online exhibition in May. Further details will be announced shortly.

    Walter Yeh, the President and CEO of TAITRA said: “We respectfully apologize for the inconvenience incurred surrounding the cancellation of the 2020 TAIPEI CYCLE show. We have decided to put people’s concerns, health and well being ahead of the prosperity of the show and will return once we can guarantee the safe and inclusive environment we have always provided to the global cycling industry”.
