E-Bike Startups, Investors & Innovators: This Is Your Moment!

4 min readMar 25, 2025

The future of e-bikes moves fast — and so do the people shaping it. Whether you’re building, investing, or passionate about e-bikes — keep reading.

The next generation of startups, investors, and innovators will come together to accelerate what’s next — at Ebike Future X and ViennaUP, on May 16, 2025.

If you’re ready to lead the future of mobility — this is where you need to be.

Why Now?

The e-bike revolution is no longer a trend — it’s a multi-billion euro movement. With over 5 million e-bikes sold in Europe in 2022 and projections reaching 7–10 million units annually by 2025, the market is on track to exceed €25 billion by 2027 — driven by massive demand, sustainability shifts, and urban mobility trends.
