E-bike Challenge Minneapolis Cancellation

It is with regret that we have to make the decision to cancel the 2023 edition of the E-bike Challenge Minneapolis.

We have been put in the very difficult position of having to make the call to go forward, or not, and have finally made the decision to pull this year’s edition.

The market is presently in a difficult stage with a serious labor shortage, high inflation and energy prices, and still continuing supply and logistic problems for many companies who planned on exhibiting. In these uncertain economic circumstances we found it is difficult for exhibitors to commit early, which has affected the planning for the E-bike Challenge.

As in our European events, we want the E-bike Challenge Minneapolis to meet the same quality standards we have set for all our shows, which we believe our exhibitors and attendees expect.

Going forward, we will consider what changes are necessary to make it happen again for Minnesota. With the concentration here of bicycle-related industry and infrastructure, Minneapolis and the Twin Cities deserve a bicycling event that can set an example for the rest of the US.
