The MOEA Technology R&D Pavilion unveiled an e-bike common protocol, developed by Taiwan’s Cycling and Health Tech Industry R&D Center (CHC). This system integrates components from different manufacturers, aiming to standardize communication protocols, connectors, and power systems for e-bikes, handcycles, and e-tricycles.
An automatic gear-shifting E-MTB was showcased, featuring Model-Based Design (MBD) for frame development and smart shifting algorithms that adjust based on cadence and power output.
TQ’s HPR40 Drive System: A lightweight (1,170g) motor for drop-bar bikes, delivering 40Nm torque with near-silent operation. It integrates with Shimano, SRAM, and Wahoo electronics and includes a minimalist LED display in the bar-end plug.
Valeo’s Cyclee: A 48V drive system with a 130Nm motor and 7-speed adaptive automatic transmission (developed with Effigear). It offers regenerative braking, a "boost" mode, and compatibility with cargo bikes (up to 315kg total load).
Hutchinson Crossdyn Belt Drive: A silent, durable alternative to chains, debuting on Origine Cycles e-bikes. The company claims it lasts twice as long as traditional chains and requires no maintenance.
Light Bicycle’s Airia Series: Ultra-light carbon rims (from 899g/pair) using Toray T1100 fiber, with impact resistance up to 95J. Also showcased was the AER180, a 180mm-deep aero rim with UST tubeless tech.
Prologo’s OctoTouch 3D Handlebar Tape: Designed for rough terrain (e.g., cobbles, gravel), it combines grip and vibration damping with recycled materials.
Mase Airding Compact AirRide: A reusable bicycle airbag (850g) protecting the face, neck, and shoulders. It inflates in 150ms via CO₂ cartridges and is rechargeable via USB-C. Pro riders are reportedly testing it in training.
Hepha’s ErgoAdjust: An app-guided system with scaled contact points (saddle, bars) to optimize bike fit, demonstrated on e-trekking models.
TARRAN T1 Pro: An award-winning e-cargo bike with an OBD diagnostics system for self-repairs and modular design. Partners like Enviolo showcased it with automatic shifting.
Fairnamic’s Mobifuture: A new 2026 trade fair for light electric vehicles (e-scooters, microcars) running alongside Eurobike, reflecting the shift toward urban ecomobility.
Valeo’s E-Bike Remanufacturing: Expanded services for motor/battery refurbishment, with 90% material recovery rates. Paris’s Vélib bikes already use refurbished motors.
Prologo’s Proxim Saddles: Made from recycled materials, including 3D-printed options for road and MTB.
Despite market challenges, Eurobike 2025 drew 1,500 exhibitors and 61,690 visitors, with over 53% international attendance. Trends emphasized smart tech, sustainability, and urban mobility, with e-bikes dominating but traditional bikes holding strong (e.g., Shimano’s energy-automatic Q-Auto gear system).
