EUROBIKE is the central platform for the bike and future mobility universe. After 30 years as the world leading trade show for the bike industry at Messe Friedrichshafen, EUROBIKE was premiering at its new location in the trade fair and mobility metropolis of Frankfurt/Main from 13 to 17 July 2022. Under the umbrella of the EUROBIKE CYCLING WEEK, the EUROBIKE SHOW took place as a major display of innovation within the world of bicycles and future mobility, offering Business and Festival Days at Messe Frankfurt, while hands-on activities and street festivals were held throughout the state capital as part of EUROBIKE CITY.

Thanks to EUROBIKE CITY, the subject of bikes was visible throughout Frankfurt: during the whole week, tours with e-bikes, mountain bikes and cargo bikes as well as tours just for women invited riders to take part in cycling adventures around the metropolis on the Main. Closed off to traffic for the occasion, the Mainkai awaited all bike fans with a rich and colourful programme of events based on bike culture, featuring a bike flea market, a children’s circuit, street food, info stands by action groups, workshops and films on the stages.

In seven halls and the large outdoor area of Messe Frankfurt, 1,500 exhibitors will presented product innovations from the fields of bicycles and e-bikes, parts, components and apparel. As a platform on which the relevant players can meet, EUROBIKE 2022 covered even more segments and special interest areas than ever before. In addition to the classic booth areas in Halls 8-12 and on the outdoor area, there were a variety of spaces each focusing on a special field.

The large retailer associations ZEG and BIKE&CO were relocating their in-house shows to EUROBIKE. Future mobility topics were concentrated in Hall 8: as a driver of the green mobility transformation, the Cargo Area was presenting young international brands with more than 100 innovative names from the fields of micromobility and lightweight mobility, last mile solutions, infrastructure required for sharing, logistics and digitization.

The two Festival Days on Saturday and Sunday offered action, adventure, testing, bike races and top events on 100,000m² of exhibition space both in the halls and outdoors on the Frankfurt Messe exhibition grounds.
