How to handle the battery shortage

Probably the most pressing, short term issue in the e-bike industry is the huge shortage of Bosch batteries. The rapid increase of e-bike sales in Europe but also on the North American markets poses the industry’s leading e-bike system supplier for a major problem. Today it is no exception that consumers have to wait 6-10 months for a battery for their newly purchased e-bike. The long-lead times for this single essential component will certainly create market opportunities for more battery manufacturers in this buoyant market.

Practical information on Eurobike

The 30th edition of Eurobike runs from Wednesday 13 July, to Sunday 17 July 2022, from 9:00 to 18:00 at its new location in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. On Saturday and Sunday, it will be open to the general public. The idea of mobility, the urban bicycle, but also micromobility and digitality have been incorporated actively and to a greater extent. The gravel bike category will be the connector for Eurobike to show its strength when it comes to trends and how they harmonise with the mobility concept. 

Gravel bikes rapidly became established category

Next to the electrification of the bicycle, the gravel bike is currently the whizz-kid for the sporty range, on any terrain. As a concept, the gravel bike overrides the differences between pure road bikes on the one hand and touring bikes on the other hand, but also with some elements of the mountain bike. And the other: The bike is perfect for cycling commuters. More robust than the road bike, lighter than the trekking bike and more versatile than other bicycle categories.
