BERLIN (BRAIN) — The two German trade groups that announced in October they no longer would support Eurobike are inviting international OEMs and suppliers to participate in one of two online meetings to explain their decision and to answer questions.
ZIV and Zukunft Fahrrad have scheduled the one-hour meetings for next Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. CET and Dec. 15 at 4 p.m. CET. The meetings will begin with a review and background of the decision, viewers' responses and feedback, and conclude with what the groups are planning.
"The developments and discussions over the recent weeks have strengthened our conviction that the industry needs a strong global trade fair with a clear European focus," said ZIV CEO Burkhard Stork in an email Friday announcing the meetings.

Eurobike announced the e-mobility event Mobifuture at last June's show. It was planned to be held at the same venue as Eurobike over the same dates, with a single entry ticket. The trade groups pulled their support, saying in part that Mobifuture would be a distraction from Eurobike's focus on the traditional bike market.
Last month, Eurobike's organizers, Fairnamic, said they will not hold Mobifuture alongside the bike show in 2026, which is scheduled for next June in Frankfurt.
