A total of 43 products from the bicycle and mobility industry were honoured at Eurobike.
A jury of experts selected the winners in advance from around 300 submissions from 35 countries and awarded prizes in nine categories.
Eleven products received a gold award, one of which was also honoured with the “Start Up Award”.
One product with a special focus on sustainability received the “Green Award”.
The winning products and projects were presented in a special exhibition during the trade fair.
The award-winning products showcase a wide range of innovative approaches – with solutions recognised in the categories of bicycles, e-bikes, light electric vehicles up to 45 km/h, mini electric vehicles, components, accessories, clothing and accessories, digital solutions and mobility solutions and infrastructure.
This year, the focus was particularly on the highly functional improvement of existing systems and the consideration of sustainable aspects.
The topic of sustainability is not only evident in the areas of material reduction and recyclability, but also in the form of socially motivated concepts and circular solutions.
Dirk Heidrich, Eurobike project manager at Fairnamic GmbH, said: “The Eurobike Award significantly contributes to the further development of outstanding product innovations and innovative approaches in the areas of bikes and e-mobility through its accolades, thereby making a significant contribution to accelerating the mobility transition.”
