The Next Cycle of Mobility.
Visions. Studies. Concepts.
Pioneering ideas.
Futuristic concepts.
Creative experimentation.
We are opening up a space for mobility that thinks ahead. For visions that don't seek to explain, but to spark curiosity. This is where developers, designers and young start-ups come together to show what they are working on, where their thoughts are leading them and what new realities are emerging as a result.

SMART CITIES
the mobile future of our cities
How bicycles are becoming the key to liveable cities – with visionary concept bikes, new solutions for urban logistics, intelligent safety for all road users, and an ecosystem of green technology that is reshaping mobility.
Sayle Cycle is showcasing a multifunctional hybrid combining a sporty bike with a cargo bike, which handles exceptionally well. The small rear wheel creates a short wheelbase and enables rapid acceleration; the low-slung storage area behind the saddle acts as a stabiliser, and a two-part drive system makes it all possible.
The Regensburg-based company’s 2Lock anti-theft system ensures greater security for the e-bike.
PERFORMANCE & DESIGN
technologies that trigger change
Innovation as the driving force behind a new era of mobility – from visionary design and precision engineering to efficient drive and energy systems, intelligent safety solutions and data-driven tools that measure performance and improve mobility.
Christian Zanzotti is showcasing a range of his innovative vehicles. bike festa will feature the ultra-compact folding e-bike Lemmo Zero, as well as the latest mobility product: the foldable (!) 35-kilogram e-moped 360, which the Finnish brand augment will launch in summer 2026.
With the Urban X, HEPHA is unveiling its first true e-bike: a radically simple, meticulously designed hybrid system for urban mobility. Includes an anti-theft system featuring the 2Lock immobiliser.
Magnesium plays a key role in this section of the Innovation Gallery: MAG Bike has opted for magnesium for its monoblock frame and new saddle. Panasonic, meanwhile, will be showcasing its lightweight drive unit (2.6 kilograms) with a robust magnesium housing, which also offers improved heat dissipation and increased stiffness.
SOCIAL& ECO CHANGE
protecting people and the planet
How mobility is taking on social responsibility and driving ecological change – with bicycles providing access to education and participation, with a materials revolution in the spirit of the circular economy, and with communities that don't just call for change, but live it.
One extraordinary bike that you won’t see anywhere else in Europe is the Buffalo Bike Utility 2 from World Bicycle Relief. You need to look down to see not one, but two chains. The charity has developed a dual single-speed drivetrain where you change gears by briefly pedalling backwards.
The RE:volution TS, the first circular and therefore recyclable product in Ortovox’s MTB collection, brings a vision to life: the shirt is made from 100 per cent textile-to-textile recycled polyester, which is sourced from so-called post-consumer textiles – in other words, end-of-life textiles.
