Bicycle trends 2025: Smart gadgets for racing bike and e-bike

Around four million bicycles are sold in Germany every year. For a few years now, the e-bike has been on the excess of sales. About half of all bikes are equipped with an electric motor. Tendency rising. Even if the sales of bicycles in 2023 were slightly below that of the pre-corona years, the bike remains an important element for the energy transition.

So that you can start the upcoming bike season carefree, we have the Bicycle trend tools 2025 compiled. From mobile bicycle stands to the recycling wheel bag for the luggage rack and a practical saddle reflector to the bell with theft protection.

Classic air pumps are bulky and somehow unwieldy. To clamp them into the frame on the saddle or top tube only works for very few wheels. Mini pumps can be stowed at least in the backpack. For this, very few of the small pumps are really powerful. In addition, you usually get properly pumping yourself. The solution: a portable e-air pump like the Xiaomi model. The tool is nothing more than a mini format compressor. The tire is so pumped up at the push of a button. The pressure can be checked using a digital display. A battery charge should be enough for eight tires. The tool is delivered with all common adapters and a small bag.

The bicycle helmet is the most important tool next to the bike. He shouldn’t be missing on any tour. But where to get to the head protection when you have arrived at the bathing lake or in the park? He takes a lot of space in the backpack. Hangled on the handlebar, it is easy prey for long fingers. Closca has developed a helmet that can be folded together after use. According to the manufacturer, the 400 gram “loop” corresponds to the applicable safety standards EN1078 and CPSC. In no time at all, it can be folded into a practical format, so that more fits into the backpack than just the bicycle helmet. The “loop” is of course also suitable for kids who prefer the scooter or the inline skates to their bike.

Bikers usually use their arms to display a change of direction. That has two disadvantages. On the one hand, you drive much more insecure with one hand on the handlebar. Secondly, the arm in the dark can be easily overlooked by other road users. A small turn signal system for e-bikes should solve both problems. Like other electrical direction indicators for bikes and e-bikes, the new Turnec from Bicycle Lamp specialist Busch+Müller has been officially approved for road traffic since summer 2024.

The mobile indicators are mounted on the underside of the saddle between the handle and brake lever and at the back of the metal or carbon struts. Depending on the turn direction direction, the turn signal (front and back) is switched on and off again via a button on the handlebar. Electricity and signal transmits the systent via wiring harness.

Important: Around the Bringing to running, the e-bike should be equipped with at least 10V DC voltage. Older pedelecs could fall out of the grid.

On a bike trip into the green or larger bike tours, bikers often have no choice but to stump the wheel in the meadow or lean against a tree. This is also more elegant. For example with a mobile and handy bicycle stand. The “Flash Stand” from Topeak weighs only 500 grams and can be folded up on a size of 20 centimeters. It is not only suitable as a mobile bicycle stand. For smaller repairs, the flash also serves as a assembly stand.

The pallet milk under the arm, the shopping bag with fruit and vegetables on the handlebar. Two rather bad ideas to take the weekend shopping by bike home. This was also the case with the smart Danes from Cobags. Therefore, they worked on a practical and sustainable solution for the transport problem. The result was Bikezac 2.0, a multifunctional and reusable shopping bag, which can be securely attached to the saddle via a patented fastening rail with two clicks. So that the shopping does not end up on the street, the bag can be closed with an integrated rubber band. Bikezac 2.0 is made of recycled polypropylene fabric, which can later be recycled 100 %.

Unfortunately, bicycle theft is still part of everyday life in Germany. In Berlin alone, almost 30,000 bike thefts were recorded in 2023. It is all the more important to secure the two -wheeler as well as possible as soon as you take sight of it. The different types of bicycle locks have advantages and disadvantages. A weak point is often the lock itself. Abus, one of the best -known manufacturers of bicycle locks in Germany, now has a waterproof chain lock with a fingerprint on the market.

Even in summer, as a cyclist, you are sometimes surprised by a rain shower. With suitable clothing and at the appropriate temperatures, this can be easily overcome. It becomes uncomfortable when the helmet hangs carelessly on the handlebar while it pours out of buckets. Anyone who has put a wet helmet on the inside knows that this is not a pleasure. But where to go with the helmet? The solution could be a combined saddle helmet cover. The helmet bag is put over by bicycle helmet and saddle. The safety rope can be connected to the bicycle lock. Complete. That is meant nicely, but a rather useless function. On the other hand, it is cool that the helmet bag can also be used as a shopping bag.

Studies by the federal states’ ministries suggest that up to 80 percent serious head injuries can be avoided if accident cyclists wear a helmet. Of course, it would be even better if the accidents don’t even happen. And that could be the a smart bicycle helmet, contribute a small part. The Lumos is 22 white LEDs in front and 42 red LEDs at the back. These can be controlled via a mobile phone app that includes included remote control or gestures (e.g. via Apple Watch).

The helmet functions can be individually configured and new functions can be integrated using an app.

For years, bike has been among the most popular destinations of long fingers and petty criminals. In 2023, the police registered more than 260,000 thefts of bicycles. With its Airtag, Apple has developed a tracking chip with which everyday objects such as suitcases, keys, backpacks or even bicycles can be located unerringly via Bluetooth. But where to go with the Airtag so that the bikedieb does not get the plan on the plan? The developed in Austria Seems the perfect hiding place for the mini tracker. It fits exactly under the bell bell and is equally suitable for handlebars of city and e-bikes but also gravel and racing bikes as well as cargo bikes.

It can hardly be smarter. Garmin’s navigation experts also want to make cycling safer. The is assembled on the seat post and should warn optically and acoustically of vehicles (cars such as bicycles). The warning is wirelessly transferred to compatible cycling computers or sports watches or via app to the smartphone. Garmin promises that the biker will be warned from a distance of 140 meters. The Varia weighs just a little more than 50 grams and is waterproof according to the IPX7 standard. According to the manufacturer, the battery lasts for up to seven hours.

The sun is also going down on mild summer evenings. If you then take your bike home, you should see, but also be seen. For this, Fischer has considered a smart trick. The is mounted on the seat post and not only shines backwards at a 90-degree angle. The five LEDs of the so -called floor lamp create a cone of light around the rear wheel and ensure that bikers are seen even better, especially on barely or not at all illuminated routes.

Back to the 110 centimeter long swan neck: it is flexible and nestles around the frame when not in use. No rattling, no scratches. There are three colors to choose from.
