Bicycle test track promotes interactive character of IAA MOBILITY
For the first time, visitors to the IAA MOBILITY can test the latest bicycles and e-bikes in the English Garden in Munich. The Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes has agreed to a corresponding test track. The test track is available to all visitors free of charge during the IAA MOBILITY between September 5th and 10th.
"With the bicycle test track in the English Garden, visitors can test the latest e-bike and bicycle models on designated routes and in popular surroundings. This is the logical addition to the interactive character of the IAA MOBILITY. Experiences for everyday use benefit users and manufacturers alike. This is exactly what characterizes a mobility platform like the IAA MOBILITY," says Jürgen Mindel, a Managing Director of the VDA.
"The e-bike will play an important role in future mobility. We see the IAA MOBILITY again as a good platform to convey our vision of mobility and our passion for the product to visitors," says Tomi Viiala, Co-CEO myStromer AG.
Bicycles and e-bikes can be tested on different circuits of up to 3.8km length. The exhibitors' presentation areas are in the Hofgarten and on Ludwigstraße. From there, visitors can cycle through the English Garden to Kleinhesseloher See. All bicycle exhibitors have the opportunity to offer contingents for testing.
