Dr. Robert Peschke, CEO of Little John Bikes:
“I am leaving Eurobike 2026 with a very positive impression. Many valuable conversations, new impulses, and above all the realization that the challenges facing our industry cannot be solved alone. The bicycle industry is global, and we must think and act on a global level. Once again, Eurobike has demonstrated how much potential lies in open, collaborative exchange. Manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, and service providers are ultimately united by one shared goal: inspiring people to ride bikes. Less opposition. More collaboration. More solutions instead of silo thinking. Many thanks to all discussion partners for the inspiring exchange. Together, we can continue to drive our industry forward in a sustainable way.”
Roman Arnold, Executive Chairman and founder Canyon Bicycles:
“We came to Eurobike to connect with our customers, the bicycle industry, and the wider world, to showcase our innovations, and to share our story globally. Eurobike 2026 far exceeded our expectations. We strengthened a core part of Canyon’s identity and are very satisfied with everything we were able to achieve."
Susanne and Felix Puello, Managing Directors and Owners of Raymon Bicycles:
“Eurobike 2026 was a complete success for us. It was exactly the environment we had hoped for: With several major market players absent, we were able to take full advantage of the platform and present our innovations and strategy to a broad trade audience. Traffic at our booth was consistently strong, and we had numerous high-quality conversations with dealers, partners, and media representatives. We particularly appreciated the open and collaborative atmosphere at the show. Especially in times of transformation, it becomes clear how important personal exchange is. From our perspective, it would therefore be highly beneficial to address the industry’s challenges together and jointly shape the future of cycling.”
Eric Zhang, CEO E-Bike Division Gobao:
“Our participation at Eurobike had a clear objective: to connect with additional players in the industry, particularly OEMs, potential partners, and media representatives. We are very pleased that we had the opportunity to present our system to hundreds of visitors at our booth, and we are proud to say that we fully achieved our goals.”
Alex Thusbass, Managing Director des Fahrradherstellers Hepha:
“We strategically used Eurobike 2026 as a platform to increase Hepha’s media visibility and position the company as an innovation brand. To support this, we redesigned our entire booth concept and placed the Urban X concept front and center as a highly visible, media-relevant flagship project. We can already say that this strategy has been highly successful. The response from media, retail, and industry experts exceeded our expectations, resulting in extensive national and international coverage, including several TV features on mainstream channels. Even without knowing the final media value yet, our investment has already paid off. Our thanks go to the teams at Fairnamic and Messe Frankfurt for their outstanding support. For Hepha, Eurobike 2026 was once again a complete success in every respect, just as it was last year.”
Andrés Cáceres, CIXI Mobilité Active:
“It’s been amazing we’ve been participating here for the third or fourth time now. Each year, we’ve been able to connect more effectively with prospects, customers, and friends at the show, so it has been a fantastic experience for us. I also see the more compact format of the event as a very positive development, as it allows us to have more focused conversations and spend more time engaging with people. I really appreciate the smaller, more streamlined setting.”
Gregory Trebaol, Président Groupe Rebirth:
“We didn't decide to participate in the Eurobike trade show until May—and it paid off from day one.”
Steve Fenton, CEO Pro-Lite:
„Our goal was to introduce our new and diverse product portfolio to the international market, and the response exceeded all our expectations. Our booth's location in the Sports & Performance area certainly contributed to that success. I hope the industry recognizes the importance of this event and moves beyond the current negativity. The challenges our industry is facing won't disappear overnight, but a positive mindset and stronger collaboration can help us move forward.“
Dirk Menze, Head of Marketing, Pinion:
“For Pinion, Eurobike is above all the key platform for direct, face-to-face exchange with trade visitors, customers, and partners from the supplier industry. These high-quality conversations are what matter most to us. That’s why well-equipped meeting spaces are more important to us than having the largest possible booth. We take it in stride that some major brands host their own in-house events. For us, Eurobike remains the place where we can meet all the relevant industry contacts in one location and systematically grow our network.”
Pedro Conceição, General Manager In Cycles:
“Eurobike remains a global benchmark for the bicycle industry. Despite the challenging market conditions this year, exhibiting at the show has been worthwhile for us. We achieved our objectives and are pleased with the outcome. That said, the event needs to evolve. To remain relevant and attractive in the future, it is essential that the industry's major players return as exhibitors.”
Lars Röttger, Managing Director of Bidex GmbH:
“Eurobike impressively demonstrates that it has long since become more than just a bicycle trade show. It is evolving into an international platform for modern mobility. The numerous innovations and the opportunities they present for specialty retailers are particularly exciting. Anyone looking for sustainable revenue potential today will find plenty of inspiration here—especially through data-driven services as well as SaaS and DaaS solutions.”
Elmar Keineke, Chief Marketing Officer von UTGear:
“We’re absolutely thrilled. We’ve been working hard over the past few weeks on our brand launch and product introduction, so being recognized with an award at Eurobike is a truly special achievement.”
Marcus Wallmeyer, CEO Supernova Design GmbH:
“As in previous years, Eurobike was a complete success for us in the OEM sector. Our booth was consistently very well attended, with a packed schedule of appointments and many spontaneous conversations. Although we had hoped for more press coverage due to the lower number of exhibitors, there were also fewer dealers on site overall. It was all the more gratifying that so many key OEM customers attended the trade show. For us, participation was absolutely worthwhile.”
Remi Rennesson, Commercial Manager Cyclee by Valeo:
“The show was extremely valuable for us, especially during the first two days. Numerous media representatives visited our booth, and the organizers responded attentively to our needs regarding our new brand positioning. The quality of the contacts we made was excellent, and we were very satisfied. It was the perfect platform for us to further develop our brand.”
Ernst Brust, Chairman of the Board of Radlogistikverband Deutschland e. V. (RLVD):
“Eurobike 2026 once again demonstrated that the cycling and micromobility industries are undergoing profound transformation. The show is increasingly evolving into a platform for high-level business discussions and strategic partnerships. At the same time, notable shifts in international competition are becoming evident. From the perspective of the German Cycle Logistics Association (RLVD), the focus should therefore be placed even more strongly on innovation, technological development, and global competitiveness.”
Sören Hirsch, Linexo by Wertgarantie:
“Overall, we’ve seen fewer visitors at our booth compared to previous years. However, as the only insurance provider present, we are receiving full media attention—which we naturally welcome. On a personal level, I was particularly impressed by the genuine innovations at Eurobike, such as Hepha, which is completely rethinking the pedelec. I think that’s really impressive.”
Markus Fritsch, CEO and founder of Fritsch & Wetzstein Verlag, trade journalist at velobiz.de:
“For us as a trade publisher, Eurobike was a great success. We met many relevant market players—unfortunately, some without their own booths—had many productive conversations and thus achieved our objectives. Eurobike is a global trade show, and that standing must be taken seriously. We’re excited to see how it will continue to evolve.”
Isabell Eberlein, Managing Director of Velokonzept and founder of Women in Cycling Germany:
“We made excellent use of Eurobike 2026 to increase the visibility of women in the bicycle industry. The presentation of our study ‘Women – The Underestimated Growth Driver’ was a great success, our Women in Cycling Germany networking event was very well attended, and the exchange was open, inspiring, and collaborative. We were especially encouraged by the many constructive discussions with companies, associations, and other stakeholders who want to continue this dialogue together with us. The starting signal has been given—now it’s about turning these impulses into concrete actions and working together to make the industry more diverse, future-ready, and ultimately more successful.”
