The electric bicycle has now become an indispensable part of the street scene. People over 50, employees on their way to work, cycling enthusiasts and school-going youth; they all like to use electric assistance.
The E-bike Challenge is one of the few events where you can test and compare indoor electric bicycles from dozens of brands. Because that’s the only way you can find out which e-bike suits you best.

The beating heart of the Challenge is the large test course. With a length of approximately 1 kilometer, this is the largest indoor e-bike course in Belgium. Unhindered by wind or weather, you can comfortably try out the models of your choice. There is a separate fast lane for fast speed pedelecs, with which they can safely reach the top speed of 45 km/h. Stands of bicycle/e-bike brands can be found along the test track. The exhibitors will be happy to answer all your questions.
