​For mobility players in the United Kingdom (UK), COVID-19 emerged at a challenging time. In January 2020, international trading relationships were in flux as the terms-and tariffs-of Brexit were being defined.

IoT, big data and digital life are changing the ecology of various industries, and continue to change our lives. It is foreseeable that bicycles in the future will not only be transportation or sports tools, but also the most convenient mobile monitoring unit in smart cities. 

​Under the multiple influences of technology, sharing and global economic and trade changes, the global bicycle industry has entered a critical moment of multiple turnovers.

Bicycle common sense: The soul of a bicycle is the frame. Frames of different materials have different performances, different prices, and different choices of frame materials. First of all, let's understand the types of materials: aluminum, steel, carbon, and titanium.

​It’s safe to say that the global bicycle supply and demand balance is definitely tilted heavily towards the latter at the present time. As the world gets to grips with a new reality, transport habits are changing naturally and sometimes with firm encouragement from the Government.

COVID-19 has sparked a two-wheeled transport boom in many parts of the globe. But this isn't the first time bicycles have been the hottest machines on the market.

​In this year's COVID-19 epidemic, European and American countries began to encourage people to walk or ride bicycles in order to prevent people from using public transportation to cause crowds and at the same time to avoid traffic jams on the road.

​TAIPEI, Taiwan – The production and export of e-bikes has proven its importance for Taiwan’s bicycle industry last year. Throughout 2019 the Taiwan Bicycle Association (TBA) already indicated that the export of e-bikes was expanding rapidly. The official export statistics of the Taiwan’s Customs Administration and the Ministry of Finance now provides the full picture of the booming e-bike exports.

​HOOFDDORP, the Netherlands - In technology, performance improvements are what’s commonly expected. The amount of time and money put into developing such enhanced technologies obviously depends on the stakes. A good example is Integrated Circuits (IC’s), which have seen dramatic improvements over time. While physical limits are in sight now for IC’s - after many decades - battery technology is in a much earlier stage of development. It raises the question what’s to be expected in battery technology?

​22 May 2020  — Can bicycles be a solution to the challenges of the post-COVID-19 recovery? European member countries of the United Nations recently created a taskforce to take this question further and discuss ways to make ‎post-COVID-19 mobility more environmentally sound, healthy ‎and sustainable.
