In short
Eurobike is the bicycle industry's European meeting point. A stand must let dealers and press handle the bike: lift it, spin the wheels and try the components. Keep the floor open, display bikes at a comfortable height and tell a clear story about what's new. Start a custom stand about 4–6 months ahead and confirm dates, height limits and rules in the exhibitor manual.
Key points
- Where and when: Frankfurt, annual in Frankfurt. Dates for 2027 changed during 2026, so confirm them with the organiser.
- The audience is mostly bicycle dealers.
- Bikes you can touch.
- Clear model range.
- Plan a custom stand about 4–6 months before the show.
Eurobike for exhibitors
Brands, component makers and e-bike companies show their ranges to dealers and press. The market has changed sharply, so visitors are looking for clear, practical reasons to stock a product.

Who you are designing for
Bicycle dealers, distributors, press and component buyers.
What matters most on an Eurobike stand:
- Bikes you can touch.
- Clear model range.
- Technical staff.
- Dealer terms.
Layouts for product display and orders, by stand type
Most Eurobike exhibitors build around product display and orders. How that works depends on how many sides of your plot are open. If you are unsure which type you have, see exhibition stand types.
| Stand type | Open sides | What works |
|---|---|---|
| Row (inline) | 1 | A shop-like display wall with a counter for orders, leaving the floor clear to browse. |
| Island | 4 | A gallery route around a central feature, with order desks and buyer seating along one side. |
Stand ideas for Eurobike
- Bikes hung at eye level for details.
- A component wall with working parts.
- A test ride booking desk, where outdoor rides are offered.
Planning, approvals and logistics
Bikes are light and easy to ship, but batteries have shipping rules. Check the rules for lithium batteries and test-ride areas.
Allow about 4–6 months for a custom stand. The exhibitor manual sets height limits, open-side rules and service deadlines; see venue approval and technical drawings.
Where the budget goes at Eurobike
Bikes ship cheaply, so spend the saving on staff and on good lighting for details. Battery shipping paperwork is the catch.
Mistakes we see at Eurobike
- Bikes roped off out of reach.
- Staff who cannot talk about dealer margins.
An example Eurobike brief
A 6 × 6 m stand with bikes hung at eye level, a working component wall, a test-ride desk and a dealer table.
Replace the size and the zones with your own. The plot and height limit come from your contract and the exhibitor manual.

Frequently asked questions
01Where is Eurobike held?
At Messe Frankfurt. The 2027 dates moved during 2026, so check the latest with the organiser.
02Do I need test bikes?
If the show offers a test area, take them. Handling a bike is the main reason people come.
03How early should I start designing an Eurobike stand?
For a custom stand, about 4–6 months ahead: long enough for design, organiser approval, production and shipping. Shell scheme stands can be planned in weeks.
04Can I reuse my Eurobike stand at other shows?
Often, if it is modular. Design the core (walls, counters, product display and orders area) to work on several plot sizes, and swap graphics per show. See [modular vs custom stands](/guides/modular-vs-custom-exhibition-stands).
