- Yadea unveiled the COMO, a full-suspension step-through commuter e-bike with a concealed rear shock, Ananda mid-drive motor, and a display built into the adjustable stem.
- igus displayed bicycles built almost entirely from recycled plastic sourced largely from abandoned ocean fishing nets; later versions support standard forks and cranks, though the first-gen test ride felt kayak-like and not as stiff as metal.
- Canyon demoed a prototype bike with built-in sensors and haptic handlebar feedback that integrates with BMW's V2X system to warn cyclists and cars of each other, including around a blind corner, though the reviewer found the warnings overly conservative.
- Avinox, the e-bike drive system brand spun out of DJI, launched a motor gear unit using a CVT for stepless shifting via the motor's powertrain, theoretically enabling automatic, clunk-free gear changes.
- Zemmi's massive cargo quad bike, controlled entirely by pedaling (forward to drive, backward to reverse), surprised the reviewer by feeling bike-like rather than truck-like despite its panel-van-sized cargo trailer.
- Rad Power Bikes is being reintroduced to Europe by Rad Life Mobility, which also owns Serial 1 and plans to add QuietKat to its offerings.
- Grin Technologies (ebikes.ca) showed its new LiGo modular batteries, which break into sub-100Wh modules to comply with commercial airline battery rules for flyers.
Why it matters: Smaller than in past years, Eurobike 2026 still surfaced concrete e-bike directions: V2X safety integration with automakers (Canyon-BMW), recycled-plastic frames (igus), and human-powered cargo hauling (Zemmi's pedaled quad). For cities, that quad offers a pedal-only alternative to panel vans for last-mile freight; for consumers, Rad Power's parent is bringing the brand back to Europe.
