CES 2025 was held from January 7-10, once again in Las Vegas, so I attended virtually to gather together all of the tech and trends related to cycling, which is becoming more electrified each year. E-bikes return as the biggest category and from my cycling rides I can see how popular these bikes are becoming in Oregon for commuters and people that enjoy being outdoors more without having to sweat as much. The latest e-bikes have electric motors and batteries neatly hidden and integrated into the frame or rear hub, along with a display on the handlebars to let you know how much charge remains and other metrics.
E-Bikes
This is still the fastest-growing and most profitable sector in the cycling world, with higher ASPs than pedal-powered bikes
Livall conversion kit
With this accessory your regular bike can be converted into an e- bike, as it connects to the seat tube and moves your rear wheel by friction. It even earned a 2025 Innovation Award from CES. I question the efficiency of power transfer and the robustness of the design, but marvel at the retrofit market.
Urtopia – Titanium e-bike
This e-bike has a strong frame made from titanium, great for commuting or gravel riding and compatible with traditional shifting, weighing only 23.8 pounds.

Vanpowers
Four e-bike models were shown this year at CES, and the UrbanCross-Ultra provides a 60 nile range.
For off-road cycling there’s the GrandTeton-Ultra with a 65 mile range.
If you prefer a fat tire e-bike, then there’s the Cycanon with a 60 mile range.
Urban commuting with shocks and a rack are found in the UrbanGlide-Standard e-bike.

This German-based vendor has e-bikes in several styles, all named after elementary particles: Elon, Axion, Lepton, Bradyon. Some of their models use a belt drive, instead of a chain for easier maintenance.

This brand has multiple e-bike categories: commuter, fat-tire off road, folding, step-through, e-scooter. The M20 2.0 looks more like a motorcycle, has an 80 mile range, and comes with complete suspension.
Blaupunkt
I remember this brand mostly for their car audio gear, and they’ve expanded into Class 2 e-bikes which have a 40 mile range, while being foldable.
SOL
A 2025 CES Innovation Award honoree, SOL showed off their Pocket Rocket S, capable of 55 mph speeds and a 70 mile range. The design is rather artistic, looking like you’re sitting on a cylinder rocket.

All of these e-bikes require a battery and that’s where Spard comes in, supplying the many different battery form factors: external, in-tube, dual system, bottle cage, integrated, semi-integrated, rear carrier.
Pedal Bicycles
Biky
This brand has kids bikes that look like a lot of fun to get started in cycling.

On rainy or cold days a cyclist can opt to ride indoors using some type of trainer setup.

At first this looked just like another Peleton competitor, but it actually integrates with all the popular platforms: Zwift, Strava, Apple Health, Samsung, Garmin.

Livall
Smart helmets for road and mountain bikers include lighting to indicate braking, fall detection and SOS alert, voice navigation, and an alarm for security. My friends with rear lights on their helmets really improve visibility for motorists, as the high position of the lights are closer to eye level.
SuperTooth
This gizmo clips onto your existing bike helmet and provides a hands-free Bluetooth connection for listening to music, making phone calls, or as an intercom, all while cancelling out wind noise.
aabo
Instead of measuring heart rate on a chest-strap monitor, why not use a ring that also tracks your sleep, stress and other physical activities?
CRNK
Protecting your head while cycling is paramount to safety and CRNK has designed over a dozen models, and some have added lighting to improve visibility.
Circular
Another ring-based fitness device to monitor your heart rate along with haptic feedback and an app to show you what’s happening throughout the day and even sleep time.

Riduck
Get some pro-level cardio training with this AI-based app that looks at your heart rate monitor and cycling power meter data recorded by Strava. Learn what your FTP, VO2MAX and FATMAX numbers are.
Bosch
Locking your e-bike makes sense, but adding even more security comes from Bosch’s eBike Lock system that turns your battery off when you step away from the e-bike. A thief can still cut your physical bike lock off, but then be stopped from riding your e-bike away with any motor support as the battery is still turned off. You install an app on your phone, or use the Bosch Kios or Nyon e-bike removable displays as your key to unlock or lock the battery.
