E-bikes are a sustainable, healthy and
fun way of transportation.
Whether you want to bike to work, stay fit, transport packages, do groceries, pick up the kids, go on vacation or have fun on bike trails; there is an e-bike for every occasion!
At the E-bike Challenge we showcase all
kinds of different models.
You can talk to specialists to find out which e-bike fits your needs, demo the e-bike selection
and buy them directly at the bike shops
who are available at the event.
Our event also has a health corner, destinations with hike and bike trails, workshops, presentations and a kids area.
Get inspired to lead a more sustainable life with easy, everyday reduce-reuse-recycle how-tos and engaging, interactive exhibits on renewable energy, green technology, organic agriculture, transportation alternatives, healthy cooking, and clean air and water. Presented by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota State Fair. Go check it out! https://www.mnstatefair.org/

The real advantages of an electric bike includes their climbing efficiency, taking a bite out of wind resistance, and the ability to expand your range of travel. Before purchasing an e-bike, it is important to know how far you want to go and what type of terrain you will be riding it on.

As consumers gain an ecological awareness of greener transportation with all the alternatives in our ever-changing world, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more attractive. Especially with battery and solar technologies speeding forward. The human-powered bike or trike, combined with electric motor assistance, can also make an eco-friendly option when looking at EVs. Known as micro-mobility, please find a shortlist of some of the e-bikes and trikes that you will be able to test ride at the E-bike Challenge Minneapolis.
The E-bike Challenge is organized by Hicle Inc. In Europe Hicle organizes the biggest consumer event in the world for Bicycles and Cycling Tourism. Hicle has more than 20 years of experience with organizing events. Hike & Bike Xperience, E-bike Challenge and Mount Expo are our successful events in Europe.
