Spent the entire last week in #Frankfurt aka Mainhattan where I worked as the senior editor of the English-language #Eurobike Show Daily b2b magazines.
It was great to meet up again with so many fine people from the #bikebiz, and there certainly were some interesting new products as well.
That poster display was a lucky find: Planet Earth on fire and the bicycle as one tiny step to keep it from happening by offering a mode of #transport with a tiny #ecofootprint. #work

Plenty of folks from the #bikebiz waiting for a podium discussion regarding the state of the Swiss #economy.

But please do me one giant favor and do not call this «the Tesla of e-Bikes».

It has nothing to do with that cranky car salesman who likes to embarrass his poor son for the rest of the kid's life with an utterly silly name.

But it has a lot of what I want to see as a nice in e-bikes that have become more and more bulky, ugly and heavy in recent years, offering crazy battery capacity that comes with added weight.

As I said: Less is more, more often than you'd think.

Drinking the 3rd cup of coffee on Sunday morning cold as I've just discovered that #Gogoro has unveiled its #Eeyo #ebike series.

With a carbon frame and fork, clean lines, one gear and a belt drive, these pups weigh in at 12 to 12.5 kgs and rely on the Eeyo Smartwheel in the rear for support: The bulky hub houses the motor, the battery and the sensors. Yes, the battery is small, but this e-bike is built for #urban traffic. Finally a brand really going for the less is more approach! #bikebiz

Smart trainers and roller trainers are the new #toiletpaper: Zero availability in #Switzerland right now, be it from Wahoo, Elite, Feedback Sports or Tacx/Garmin. #cycling in the age of the #Coronavirus, folks. #bikebiz

Not too bad: Die Zürcher Filiale von #mWay, einem Händler für #eBikes und E-Mobilität, zieht nach gut neun Jahren an der Gotthardstrasse um in ein neues Geschäftshaus beim Hauptbahnhof #Zuerich, die Gleistribuene. Die Renderings vom Shopkonzept zeigen eine Kaffeebar, viel Platz und Licht und eine ansprechende Warenpräsentation. Schaut gut aus!

Great to see that #Taiwan's trade commission managed to put their pre-show tour of #bicycle factories in the week after #Taichung Bike Week - so I can attend both events and do plenty of research on product trends and companies. #work #bikebiz
