In the 2nd annual edition of The Zag List, we are recognising 100 trailblazers driving the global shift toward cleaner, safer and more connected mobility worldwide.
LEVA-EU does not wish to comment on the individual decisions of ZIV, Zukunft Fahrrad, Bosch, or other companies that have chosen not to participate in Eurobike. What matters is the broader question of how the light mobility sector chooses to engage with a rapidly evolving landscape. Eurobike remains the only truly international trade show in […]

Bike share generates €305m for Europe per year - set to triple by 2030
Zag sits down with EIT Urban Mobility, Cycling Industries Europe and EY to unpack a landmark study quantifying the return of bike sharing in Europe, revealing €305m in annual benefits today and a pathway to €1bn by 2030.
My absolute favorite thing I own is a Flyer L885 electric cargo bike. It’s not the most powerful or most expensive, but it fits my lifestyle perfectly. I use it almost everyday to replace car trips, which is no easy task in a nation as car dependent as the US.
Check out this video about how cargo bikes are changing a lot of people’s lives for the better. Also: bike bus!

VCs Funded the Wrong E-Bikes. Here's a Model that Actually Scales.
And why the future of urban mobility doesn't look like VanMoof or Cowboy. It looks like your current bike, plus 5 seconds. Hot take: Premium e-bikes aren't the future of electric cycling. They're an expensive detour that's already collapsing under its own weight.
Ferrari launches its Elettrica with one of the best EV marketing analogies of all time
Für meine Idee, dass positiven bewerben von Elektrofahrzeugen Hervorhebung anschauen
If more EVs launched with messaging like this, instead of endless pandering about saving the environment or obliterating your internal organs with ever-faster acceleration times, I feel like the American EV market would be in a much better place today.
Ferrari said that the company’s internal combustion-powered sports cars are like acoustic guitars, exhausts serving as resonance chambers. The Elettrica, though, will be like an electric guitar.
As Paris’ new micromobility season gets underway today, Dott unveils a new e-bike fleet and €10m investment to strengthen its foothold in Europe’s most prestigious market.
'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.
Berlin Study on EPAC Regulation Shows Clear Bias Towards Status Quo
The recently released Kurz-Studie on Electrically Power Assisted cycles (EPACs), published by the Zentrum Nachhaltige Transformation (zNT Berlin), presents itself as an objective contribution to the mobility debate. A closer look, however, reveals that the study is biased towards preserving the current legal framework and fails to address some of the most urgent regulatory challenges […]
Voi’s VP: Why the UK is Europe’s largest “growth engine” for micromobility
In #35 of Zag’s Women Making Moves series, Voi’s VP of Northern Europe Christina Moe Gjerde explains why the UK’s regulatory limbo won’t stop the operator from scaling its e-scooter and e-bike presence.
Unique Belgian study reveals structural impact of
shared bicycles and scooters
Ghent, 17 September 2025 – For the first time
in Belgium, eight shared bicycle and scooter
providers, in conjunction with Way To Go and
the University of Antwerp, have investigated
the impact of bicycle and scooter sharing.
A survey of 4,100 users shows that bicycle and
scooter sharers get about more sustainably
than the average person in Flanders.
When Law-Abiding Companies & Riders Pay the Price: The Wrong Approach to Regulating E-Scooters and Fat Bikes
Across Europe, transport ministers seem eager to intervene in the regulation of light electric vehicles (LEVs). The main targets right now are e-scooters and so-called fat bikes. A Proven European Framework E-bikes with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h and max 250W continuous rated power are excluded from EU Regulation 168/2013. Instead, they fall under […]
