Retrospective 2025 and new edition 2026
After the successful 2025 edition with 14,391 visitors for E-bike Challenge and Fiets en Wandelbeurs, we are already looking ahead to 2026. The dates are now known: Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1. The location remains the same: Hall 1 of Flanders Expo in Ghent.
A brief review of the 2025 edition:
In Flanders Expo there was a very varied offer in the field of e-bikes, cycling, hiking and active tourism. Once again, the cooperation between the Fiets en Wandelbeurs and E-bike Challenge proved to be a golden marriage: Fiets en Wandelbeurs visitors gladly took test rides on the e-bikes on display, and E-bike Challenge visitors were informed about cycling routes and beautiful cycling destinations, or attended a lecture.
It is no secret that the e-bike market has had difficult years, but despite those headwinds, there was still a strong field of participants in Flanders Expo, with 28 brands showing their latest models and accessories.
What was striking was the trendy design of many models, which appealed to both young and old, and the high-end materials and components with which they are equipped. For example, the recyclable, synthetic Reco frames from Advanced, the Magura IBS braking system on models from cargobike brand Ca Go, the carbon frame of Specializeds Vado SL 2 and automatic shifting systems from Shimano.
We look forward to welcoming you on 28 February and 1 March 2026 to the next edition of the E-bike Challenge Belgium!
