All about bicycles, electric-assisted bikes, technology and safety in the press

The most common safety risks that we come across in our daily work around bicycle safety, technology and operating instructions are also published by us in articles in the leading German special-interest magazines TOUR (Europe's road bike magazine no. 1), BIKE (Europe's mountain bike magazine no. 1), MYBIKE and EMTB in order to make this information, which is important for the industry, available to a wider public.

For many years now, the Eurobike Show Daily, trade fair magazine of the annual Eurobike Show, has also given us the opportunity to publish our view of major developments in the cycle industry in full-page articles.

We also speak regularly in independent expert presentations about all areas of bicycle technology and the bicycle market. In addition, we are quoted by further special-interest magazines of the industry and the trade as well as increasingly by radio and television in their media reports, which shows us that we are spot on with our advice. The section "News" informs you about the latest news from our specialist areas. The reports and publications of this section are listed chronologically or according to areas of interest.

Kann ich mein Trekkingrad zum Pedelec nachrüsten?

Motor, Elektronik und Akku machen das Fahrrad schwerer und auch schneller. Die Belastungen auf das gesamte Fahrrad wachsen dadurch enorm.

Aus der Praxis ist bekannt, dass selbst beim Trekkingrad jahrelang bewährte Produkte beim Pedelec plötzlich brechen können. Deshalb werden Pedelecs von Herstellern speziell konstruiert – statt gängige Fahrrad-Modelle lediglich um ein Antriebssystem zu ergänzen. Daher der dringende Rat: Finger weg von Nachrüstsätzen. Das Risiko des Versagens mit nicht vorhersehbarer Unfallfolge ist groß.
