BikeBiz November 2026 issue

 

The November issue focuses on e-bikes and micromobility, covering everything from shared e-bike networks and safety initiatives to e-scooter regulation.

In this issue, Richard Shrubb explores the five-year regulatory limbo surrounding private e-scooters, while EMEC-Prototyping introduces a portable, suitcase-sized test bench designed for police roadside testing of illegally tuned e-bikes and e-scooters. We also examine Lime’s arguments by Stef Lehmann for citywide regulation and parking investment, alongside Phillip Darnton’s update on securing MP backing for the Bicycle Association’s E-Bike Positive trust mark.

Duncan Dollimore details Cycling UK’s campaign against Merseyrail’s blanket e-bike ban, and Ferry Vermeulen breaks down how the EU’s new Right to Repair directive shifts statutory compliance onto importers and distributors.

We also feature ICE Trikes on adaptive designs, Carbotronics on modular e-bike servicing, Green Commute Initiative on ten years of salary sacrifice, and Outspoken Cycles on cargo bike growth. Plus, Dominic Langan reflects on Basil’s 50th anniversary alongside our regular news and sector guides for e-bikes, new products, and brakes.
