SANTA BARBARA, California, March 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Taipei Cycle Show highlighted Taiwan’s advancements in sustainable cycling under the theme “Green Forward,” aligning with global environmental goals and the push for carbon reduction. This effort supports the Bicycling Alliance for Sustainability (BAS) and the Cycling & Health Tech Industry R&D Center (CHC), which is committed to achieving net-zero emissions.
The Taiwanese government actively encourages green transformation in the bicycle industry, BAS has been established to focus on achieving the Taiwan government’s goal of net-zero transformation by 2050. CHC, as the secretariat of BAS, is dedicated to promoting the development of sustainable practices.
At the show, BAS hosted the ESG Global Initiative Forum, showcasing the industry’s environmental, social, and governance efforts. This included BAS’s development of a Net-Zero Carbon Emission Roadmap, organizing 12 meetings of carbon-reduction case studies in 2024, and working on Product Category Rules (PCR) to refine carbon footprint assessments. These efforts encourage collaboration between local and international stakeholders, exchanging actionable solutions and ideas, and promoting sustainable development.
Besides environmental awareness, there’s a new wave of digital transformation in the cycling industry. In 2024, CHC launched the Cycling Common Protocol Alliance with the Taiwan Bicycle Association (TBA) to create a platform for industry-wide cooperation. The alliance aims to strengthen the relevant agreements and standards within the electric-assisted bicycle sector, including electric bicycles, handcycles, and electric tricycles. It focuses on communication, connectors, power, and sensors, driving innovation and collaboration.
At the show, CHC unveiled two sample bikes, the E-Trekking and E-MTB, showcasing the progress of the Cycling Common Protocol Alliance. The E-Trekking features IoT, radar, and cloud platform technology developed by CHC, enabling real-time uploading of component information to the cloud and displaying component data and riding stats. The E-MTB emphasizes indoor interactive riding scenarios, and service system connections, and integrates a composite control system for shifting, assistance, suspension, and seat height adjustments. The alliance also established four task forces to enhance the collaboration.
By focusing on sustainability and common protocol, Taiwan’s bicycle industry is paving its way for a greener future. With CHC playing a key role in promoting green practices and e-bike standards, the industry is driving environmental responsibility and innovation. As a result, Taiwan is setting the stage for sustainable transportation solutions and shifting towards greener and smarter mobility.
