'Change e-bike regulations only if you are aware of the market impact'
BERLIN, Germany - E-bikes are the spearhead of electromobility in Europe. Over the past 10 years, e-bikes have fundamentally transformed the European mobility market. At the same time, stakeholders have become more diverse. The German research institute zNT assessed the discussion on the regulatory framework for e-bikes and concluded: if you want to change the regulations, you must not only provide technical arguments, but also prove that what has been achieved will not be jeopardised.

Industry organisations ZIV and LEVA-EU clash over e-bike regulations
BRUSSELS, Belgium - The dispute on future e-bike regulations in the European committee where e-bike standards are developed, the CEN/TC 333*, has entered the next level of argumentation. Until now, many questioned the German industry association ZIV over its standpoint. Yesterday, ZIV published a statement claiming that, "our member companies once again explicitly endorsed the proposed technical parameters, giving the association a clear mandate exceeding 80%."

Neue Analyse: Wer kauft in Europa die meisten E-Bikes?
Neue Analyse: Wer kauft in Europa die meisten E-Bikes?
Deutschland ist Europas größter E-Bike-Markt – aber nur, wenn man die absoluten Verkaufszahlen betrachtet. Pro Kopf liegen andere Länder klar vorn.
Ganz oben steht Norwegen mit 36,2 verkauften E-Bikes pro 1.000 Einwohner, dicht gefolgt von Dänemark mit 36,1. Überraschend stark schneidet auch Slowenien ab: Dort sind es 28,9 E-Bikes pro 1.000 Einwohner – ein Wert, der den wachsenden Wohlstand und die steigende Beliebtheit des Radsports in der Heimat von Tadej Pogačar widerspiegelt.
Schweiz dagegen landet trotz hoher Kaufkraft nur im Mittelfeld: 16,9 Verkäufe pro 1.000 Einwohner deuten auf eine gewisse Marktsättigung hin.

📻 On World Car-Free Day, journalist Matej Praprotnik and his team at RTV Slovenija broke with tradition. Instead of car traffic updates, the radio gave its airtime to people walking and cycling, inviting listeners to share the daily obstacles they face on the streets. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ By handing the microphone to those usually left out of the traffic story, they flipped the script and opened up a wider debate about what mobility updates SHOULD be about. 🏆 Matej Praprotnik is now nominated for the Frictioneer Award at our upcoming Gridlock Event: a celebration of those who create constructive resistance to shake urban systems out of autopilot. 🪄 Sometimes friction is refusing the default, and showing that another perspective is possible.

eBike-Hersteller: Cowboy vorerst gerettet, aber Investoren verlieren Millionen - manager magazin
Der belgische E-Bike-Hersteller Cowboy entkommt der Pleite. Die französische ReBirth-Gruppe übernimmt das einst gefeierte Start-up und hält es mit einer Finanzspritze am Leben. Ob der neue Eigentümer an CEO Adrien Roose festhält, ist offen.
Legt man jene 15 Millionen Euro zugrunde, für die ReBirth nun einen 80-Prozent-Anteil erhalten soll, ist Cowboy gerade noch mit rund 18,8 Millionen Euro bewertet.

Verkehrswende in Deutschland stockt wegen Frust beim Radfahren
Verkehrsminister Patrick Schnieder sieht Deutschland als eine der führenden Fahrradnationen. Der ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test zeichnet ein anderes Bild. Es hapert an Sicherheit und Infrastruktur. Selbst die Fahrradhauptstadt Münster erreicht nur mittelmäßige Bewertungen.
Dass eine deutsche Großstadt wie Münster mit einem sehr durchschnittlichen Wert von2,98 das Ranking schon gewinnen kann, ist ein Spiegelbild der Situation für eine Mobilität ohne Auto
