It’s that time again — Eurobike Show 2025 has opened its doors in Frankfurt! This year, the trade fair is once again the most important meeting place for discovering the latest products, innovations and trends in the world of cycling. Although the classic rhythm of annual product launches has become less frequent in recent years, many manufacturers still use the Eurobike specifically to present their latest developments. However, it was noticeable that significantly fewer well-known manufacturers were represented this year.
As usual, our tour focuses on the exciting variety of urban bikes and matching accessories. Have fun discovering them!
Urban bike innovations at Eurobike
Schon im Vorfeld der Eurobike wurden die ersten Neuheiten präsentiert – darunter wieder einmal viele neue Motoren für E-Bikes. Allen voran Bosch, die geradezu ein Feuerwerk an Neuheiten zündeten und gleich vier neue Motoren vorstellten die vornehmlich für den urbanen Einsatz geeignet sind. Alle Infos dazu haben wir bereits ausführlich in diesem Artikel zusammengestellt. Gleiches gilt für die Neuheiten von Mahle in diesem Artikel und TQ in diesem Artikel.
The first new products were presented in the run-up to Eurobike – including, once again, many new motors for e-bikes. First and foremost Bosch, who set off a firework display of innovations and presented four new motors that are primarily suitable for urban use. We have already summarised all the information in detail in this article. The same applies to the new products from Mahle in this article and TQ in this article.
The new Bosch motors have already been tested at Riese & Müller, among others, especially the new Performance Line PX. Although it offers a high torque of 90 Nm, its operation remains pleasantly quiet — tested in the new Charger5 and the new Carrie2.
We had already featured the new Moustache models for 2026 and the new 5 Series from Kalkhoff in separate articles. All the more fitting that the corresponding bikes were already on display at the show.
While DJI in particular stirred up the MTB scene last year with its Avinox drive, the motor can now also be seen in two urban bikes: at Steppenwolf in their Transterra bikes together with Enviolo gears and belt drive, and at Velo De Ville in the REVO-C, but there with conventional derailleur gears.
Somewhat under the radar, but highly interesting: Owuru — the Belgian motor manufacturer with its motor-gearbox unit, which has since been taken over by Decathlon. On the one hand, the upcoming variant of the motor was on display, with impressive performance data: 1000 watts of power with 90 to 150 Nm of torque and a gear ratio range of 500% for the integrated automatic gearbox. All this in a more compact housing weighing 3.9 kg!
There is also an update to the current motor with 65 Nm torque and 265% gear range: in Decathlon’s new LD 940E Automatic, it now works even more quietly, which has been achieved thanks to an improved chain guide, among other things.
Hepha also offers an interesting alternative to the familiar drive systems — which, by the way, have long offered up to 100 Nm of torque. In addition to the new city models, which are making their debut this year, Hepha also presented the near-series version of its Urban Bike, which will be available from next year and offers exciting features — including a sophisticated anti-theft system.
Although Shimano didn’t have any new e-bike motors on show, the Japanese company did have an exciting innovation in store: with the new Q’Auto, they are offering an automatic shifting system for analogue bikes — which also doesn’t require an external power supply, as a hub dynamo is integrated. We have already featured the system in detail here, and at the trade fair we were also able to test it briefly on Rose Sneak 3 — a light and sporty urban bike.
Canyon cheated us with a real trade fair novelty — exhibited at the stand of Gates Carbon Drive, the manufacturer of the now very popular belt drive. The new Citylite is a genuine new development, equipped with hub gears, full commuting features and an interesting cockpit with an integrated smartphone mount.
When you think of the opposite of analogue bikes, the powerful SUV e-bikes certainly come to mind. With the new Muga, Orbea has unveiled their interpretation of such a bike, which offers many clever details and is equipped with Bosch’s powerful Performance Line CX mid-motor.
While urban e-bikes with hub motors were booming in previous years, there were rather few new products from this sector on show this year. Nevertheless, there were new bikes from Konrad Bikes, Moevs, Tenways and Lemmo as well as the brand new VanMoof S6 bikes.
Folding e-bikes would be unthinkable without compact hub motors — and there were plenty of them to marvel at. For example, the innovative Lemmo Zero, which can be minimised in size thanks to its sophisticated folding mechanism.
The folding bikes from Uto — formerly Eovolt — are also super sophisticated and stylish. In addition to their e-bikes, there was also a version without an electric drive on show.
Just as analogue are the two limited editions for the ‘Tour de France’ from Brompton — and they simply look great!
And speaking of compact bikes: Yoonit had a fantastic prototype made of titanium in its luggage, manufactured using the 3D printing process. Currently just a study, but possibly a glimpse of a Yoonit Micro of the future.
Super Bicycles is also focussing on compact bikes, following on from the affordable Long John cargo bike Super Mighty with the equally affordable Super Mini. However, the secret star was certainly the cargo bike for children as a balance bike 🙂
The Eurobike was a home game for LAX Cycles from Frankfurt and this white show bike of their mini cargobike attracted a lot of attention at their stand:
A compact cargo bike was also on show at the ADO stand, with a stable loading area at the rear and a removable front carrier at the front:
The Cargo One from Tenways is more of a maxi cargo bike in Long John format. This was on display at the show with a new extension featuring two position lights — similar to those found on the front of the bike.
Hardly surprising: the stand of cargo bike specialist Tern was packed with cargo models, including of course the new version of the popular GSD.
Accessories and parts
Texlock is celebrating its 10th anniversary next year — a welcome opportunity for an anniversary edition of its flexible textile locks for 2026! This comes in the primary colours yellow, red and blue in reference to the Bauhaus, which celebrates its 100th anniversary next year.
The popularity of Texlock’s textile locks has of course not gone unnoticed by the competition. Abus, for example, presented the Yarnit — a chain lock that is strongly reminiscent of Texlock’s Orbit — as a major innovation this year. Braided with soft textile fibres, it will be available in four colours and two lengths from 70 euros.
Basil is presenting many new panniers in attractive colours as well as a new luggage basket designed to offer maximum flexibility. Thanks to its various mounting points, it is compatible with almost all carrier systems — including Basil’s own MIK system, of course.
There were also exciting new products to see on the subject of bicycle lighting. Supernova presented the new Starstream Mini handlebar with integrated headlight. The highlight: if you want, you can also replace the integrated headlight with a USB-C module or a holder for external headlights or other components. The TL3 Z Pro is also an interesting rear light that can be integrated into mudguards and offers an emergency brake light in addition to the brake light function.
LightSkin are certainly among the inventors of the headlight in the handlebars — they also had the latest models on show, as well as some exciting versions of the seat post with integrated rear light.
Spanninga showed several solutions for turn indicators on bicycles — including integrated into end caps on handlebar grips. These large light modules on the pannier rack and front fork, on the other hand, have a futuristic look:
Straight out of the future (or the TRON movie) is the Noll bike from Sweden – where the strikingly illuminated wheels are an indication of the unusual technology of the bike itself. This is because the motors are integrated directly into the wheel and there are no spokes in the wheel. Braking is also provided by a regenerative system that can feed electricity into the battery. Sounds like a wild concept, but it should be ready to ride and can already be pre-ordered.
Eurobike 2025 can be visited at the exhibition centre in Frankfurt until Sunday. It is particularly worth travelling there because of the large test area, where numerous bikes can be test ridden. Further information can be found on the Eurobike website.
