Netherlands, Monday, 5 May 2025.
The Bright E-Bike Party in Amsterdam on 17 May 2025 encourages sustainable commuting with substantial e-bike discounts and reduced ticket prices, aligning with carbon emission reduction efforts.

Expanded Brand Participation

The event has attracted an impressive lineup of 14 leading e-bike manufacturers, with three notable additions: Veloretti, showcasing their Ivy Two and Ace Two models; Cube, presenting their family-oriented Longtail Hybrid and adventure-ready Kathmandu models; and Stella, featuring their innovative Livorno Pro and Tierra Pro series [1]. Other participating brands include established names like Comate, Cowboy, and Decathlon, alongside emerging players such as ENGWE and iMove [1].

Significant Environmental Impact

This initiative comes at a crucial time when transportation accounts for nearly 25% of global carbon dioxide emissions [3]. Research demonstrates that e-bikes generate merely 22 grams of CO₂ per kilometer, compared to 271 grams from conventional cars [3]. The potential impact is substantial, as over 50% of urban car journeys are under 5 kilometers - trips that could easily be replaced by e-bikes [3]. Studies indicate that replacing just 15% of urban car travel with bike travel could reduce transportation-related CO₂ emissions by 11% [3].

Accessible Pricing Strategy

To encourage widespread participation, the event features significant cost reductions. Attendees can secure tickets at 8.75 euros using the code ‘BEP2025-50’ [1]. Additionally, participants who purchase an e-bike during the event will receive 100 euros worth of accessories, such as carrier racks or helmets [1]. The test rides will take place on paved bike paths at the Bright HQ in Amsterdam, providing a real-world experience of these sustainable transportation solutions [1].

Growing Movement in Sustainable Transport

This initiative aligns with broader European efforts to promote sustainable urban mobility. Similar events and infrastructure investments have helped cities like Copenhagen achieve cycling rates of nearly 50% for urban trips [6]. The Netherlands continues to lead in cycling infrastructure development, demonstrating how dedicated facilities and supportive policies can make cycling a mainstream transportation choice [6]. The Bright E-bike Party represents another step forward in this ongoing transformation of urban mobility [1].
