Bike Business at its Best Welcome to the 21st Eurobike in Friedrichshafen!

Once a year the Eurobike turns Friedrichshafen into the hub of the international bicycle world – and shows it to be once again in the best of shape. Over an area of 100,000 m², about 1,200 exhibitors from 45 countries will be presenting the top brands and all the latest innovations. Over 40,000 trade visitors and more than 1,800 media representatives are expected to attend. In the course of this massive programme of events, innovations will be presented, business will be done, information exchanged and contacts made.

DEMO DAY: The day for testing under real conditions in the open E-BIKES/PEDELECS: An overview of the market and large test course in the Zeppelin Hall and Open Air Grounds East FASHION SHOW: Bike wear and accessories HOLIDAY ON BIKE: Cycling tours, the highlight on the public day TRAVEL TALK: The trade congress for cycle tourism EUROBIKE AWARD: The best products in this business sector will be chosen EUROBIKE PARTY: The community’s cult party on the Friday evening

DEMO DAY GET ON AND TRY IT OUT IN THE OPEN Nothing is tougher then reality. And that’s why, one day before the EUROBIKE officially starts, the latest bikes are subjected to the “reality check”: a test ride out in the open.

On August 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in beautiful Ratzenried in the Allgäu region, people from the trade and journalists can get themselves on the saddle. There’s the right kind of terrain for every type: gentle hills for e-bikes and rough terrain for mountain bikes.

AN ELECTRIFIED BRANCH: E-BIKES AND PEDELECS If you want to get out and about on your bicycle, you no longer have to rely on muscle power alone these days. Whether it’s with the power-assisted pedalling switched on or with no pedalling at all – pedelecs and e-bikes make travelling on two wheels more comfortable than ever before. Everything that is going on in the world of electro-mobility at the moment is on show at the Open Air Grounds East. The e-bikes and pedelecs on display here can all be put through their paces on a course which is round about one kilometre long.

You can experience a further central theme of the fair in the Zeppelin Hall. At the Eurobike you will find everything which the branch has to offer on the subject of electric power-assisted bikes.
