Charge Ahead: The igus:bike Goes Electric!
Michael Poepke | 10. February 2026
The igus:bike worldtour is nearing its end, with Brazil gearing up as the final stop. But as the tour wraps up, our development team is anything but slowing down – they’re hitting top speed! This year, things are really kicking off – especially uphill!
Why’s that? Because the evolution of our plastic bike doesn’t take a break. In fact, it’s picking up serious momentum! How, you ask? Simple – the igus:bike is getting an e-motor! And our video gives you a sneak peek of what will soon be hitting the streets officially. Jens is loving it, Jens is going full throttle… Enjoy the ride!

VERY cool development! This is going to give the bike a boost, I am sure. One of the critical points is still the weight, which is not so important anymore with a motor.
Looking for a test rider for "Alltagstauglichkeit"?
I am here ;-), I am happy to ride my 12 k to igus in an igus e-bike...
