ForBikes is one of the largest cycling shows in Central Europe and is continuing the trend for movement towards e-bikes. It is likely that e-bikes will soon surpass the market in ordinary mechanical bikes. The show, held in Prague last weekend, attracted over 30,000 visitors.There was an entire hall dedicated to electric bikes at the show. The Chinese drivetrain manufacturer, Bafange sponsored an outdoor test track for ebikes. The company has it’s European HQ in the Netherlands, and its drive systems are popular in the Czech Republic. It is powering most ebikes in the region, hence its sponsorship of the show. The test track allowed visitors to try out over 170 e-bikes representing 25 brands.Electric Mountain Bikes are the most popularThe E-MTB is definitely the most popular category of e-bike within the Czech Republic accounting for over 50% of sales. There are lower-end models at around €1,200 using hub motors, but also high-end versions produced by Giant, Haibike, Specialized, etc.ForBikes was used by brands like Czeck-based Crussis to launch its own national campaign fronted by hockey star and Olympian, Jaromir Jagr.
