Press and media
Out of the niche, into tomorrow's mass mobility: The International Special Bikes Show, SPEZI, presents the latest models and their potential as game-changers. The specialty bicycle industry is definitely 'clear for the turn' – towards a transportation revolution. The Special Bicycle Fair follows this sailing motto and showcases the diverse possibilities of sustainable mobility.
The thoughtful modernization of SPEZI includes expanding the perspective beyond the traditional notion of the "special bike" to encompass contemporary and forward-thinking mobility solutions. "The classic SPEZI has always been at the forefront. However, many solutions that were once regarded as niche products a decade ago have now become mainstream, such as cargo bikes or electric-assisted three-wheeled recumbent bikes. The ecological and social transformation of transportation will also be shaped by the bicycle industry's ability to cater to the ever-evolving individual mobility requirements of modern society.
