for 2016 - E-motor trend unbroken - Multi-terrain bikes
becoming more and more popular
Premieres: Frechdax for the
kids, unnoticable e-drives and
heavy cargo bikes
Friedrichshafen - It’s a technology and design
showdown in Friedrichshafen. The Eurobike, taking
place from August 26 to 29, is presenting the
products that will drive the market of the future,
with over 250 world premieres expected at this
year’s show. The large number of innovations is also
apparent at the Eurobike Award with 500 products
submitted for the award. 64 of them will be honored
on the first day of the show. "This year, the Eurobike
has again proven that it is the global bicycle
exhibition. With 1350 exhibitors in 13 exhibition
halls, we have an outstanding lineup that makes us
the place to be for everyone interested in bikes,”
Messe Friedrichshafen CEO Klaus Wellmann declared
at the press conference held in advance of the
bicycle exhibition.
It’s not just for industry visitors: On public day, Saturday,
August 29, the Eurobike will open its doors for hobby
cyclists and bike fans alike. Visitors will be able to put
pedelecs and recumbent bikes straight to the test on
2015

special test tracks. In addition, Holiday on Bike will offer a
selection oriented around the theme of bike travel and
visitors will be able to get a look at the bike industry’s
fashion future. "Danny MacAskill perhaps the most
well-known cyclist in the world, is also coming to
Friedrichshafen,” project leader Dirk Heidrich announced.
Sabine Spitz, Olympic gold medalist and two-time German
cross country champion, will also be present on Saturday.
The e-motor theme remains as current as ever for the
industry. With the Blue LABEL Charger GX Rohloff, Riese
und Müller will be presenting a travel e-bike that offers
plenty of space thanks to front and rear wheel luggage
racks, complemented by an especially long-lived battery
with a very fine gradation. The e-drive in the Coboc’s
Commuter Bike seems almost unnoticable, if not
completely invisible. The bike not only gets points for the
drive hidden in its frame - which gives it a sleek look - but
also for its light 15.4 kilogramm (33.88 lbs.) weight. A
briefcase can be attached to the luggage rack, making it
the ideal bike for the commute to work. The Musketier from
Radbox proves that e-bikes can also transport a completely
different kind of cargo. The tricycle with a motor can pull a
choice of a cargo wagon, a flatbed trailer or a children’s
passenger trailer. In urban traffic in particular, it therefore
offers a space-saving, environmentally friendly alternative
for delivery services or for transporting large shopping
purchases. The E-Power Life Bike Nuvince Nyon from
Corratec was developed as a sports equipment for
osteoarthritis and heart patients. Thanks to its reinforced
frame and spokes, it can carry riders weighing up to 150
kilogramms (330 lbs.)

The latest mountain bikes are closely oriented around
customer desires. With an e-drive, the Macina Kapoho from
KTM provides a riding experience like that of an SUV and,
like the Genius 27+ from Scott, shows off the newest trend
in tires. 27+ is a tire width that lies between that of
traditional mountain bike tires and fatbike tires and offers a
larger contact surface than thinner tires, with only slightly
increased rolling resistance. The Frechdax from Propain is
presenting itself as a children’s mountain bike with the
technology and geometry of a full-sized MTB. The ICB 2.0
was designed especially in accordance with customers’
desires, with 2000 consumers involved in its development.
Transformability is in where racing bikes are concerned.
The Cannondale Slate Force CX1 integrates mountain bike
elements, whereas Open Cycle’s Up can accommodate
various tire sizes and widths. "The Gravel Bike from Open
Cycle thus offers a high level of flexibility for a diverse
variety of surfaces,” says sports journalist Bernd-Uwe
Gutknecht.
Small and multifunctional: The Seatylock bike accessory is a
saddle that can be transformed into a lock while the Fuga
helmet from Closca Design can be folded up and thus easily
stored away in a backpack or briefcase. Lezyne is
presenting the "smallest GPS device in the world,” whereas
Lucette bicycle lights can be easily clipped onto a bicycle
using a magnet and just as quickly removed again later.
One thing that makes things easier for e-bike riders is the
Bike Lift from EAL. "It is very hard for older people to lift
e-bikes into the bike stand. Therefore, the idea of
integrating a lift into the bike stand is a real advance,” says
bike pro Karen Eller.
