Modular compact bike

Canyon’s new urban vision: Concept bike for the mobility of the future

Canyon is showcasing an exciting response to the requirements of modern urban mobility with this study, provisionally labelled a Concept Bike. Still without a final name, but already with a clear direction, this compact e-bike marks the next step towards smart, sustainable urban mobility — right in the middle of the concept phase. Canyon is pursuing an unusual but consistently user-centred approach: instead of launching a finished product, the community is involved at an early stage in order to gather feedback and further develop the bike in line with real needs.

Compact e-bike with a unique design

The concept bike is specially designed for everyday urban use: manoeuvrable, light, functional — and stylish and individual at the same time. The electric drive is based on a minimalist system: a quiet hub motor (the OEM remains a secret for the time being) in combination with a single-speed drive ensures uncomplicated, low-maintenance riding. Remarkable for Canyon, whose bikes have never been fitted with a hub motor before!

With a capacity of approx. 300 to 400 Wh, the battery is deliberately kept small to save weight and ensure natural riding dynamics — ideal for short and medium-length journeys in urban areas.

What is particularly exciting are the modular features that make the bike a versatile everyday companion. With a removable front pannier rack, various rear module inserts including a quick-fit system and removable wheel caps, the bike can be flexibly adapted to different usage scenarios — from shopping to a weekend trip to the park. The integrated front and rear lighting ensures visibility and safety in city traffic. And if you want to personalise your bike, you can add a personal touch with sticker packs for the frame and wheel caps.

Whether and when the bike will go into series production is still uncertain

Whether the concept bike will become a production-ready product is still open — as is the timetable. But this is exactly what makes the project so exciting: the users have a say. Canyon is focussing on genuine participation, openness and innovation — and is already offering a promising outlook on the urban mobility of tomorrow.
