Overview
- Germany’s main industry groups ZIV and Vereinigung Zukunft Fahrrad ended cooperation with Fairnamic and will not take part in the fair.
- Bosch eBike Systems has withdrawn from the next edition, and reports indicate brands such as Riese & Müller, Puky, Kettler, KTM and Zweirad Union could be absent in 2026.
- Fairnamic canceled the planned Mobifuture side event and set Eurobike 2026 for June 24–27, reducing the fair to four days and dropping the Sunday festival day.
- The associations’ Ten-Point Plan presses for a trade-focused, integrated showcase with lower stand costs and a reworked congress program, rejecting segment splits like separate e-bike or cargo-bike areas.
- The withdrawals have raised doubts about the fair’s viability in Frankfurt, with local analysis warning of damage to the city’s image and event-related revenues.
