Eurobike Istanbul 2027 is the Turkish edition of the Eurobike bicycle trade fair, running 21–24 April 2027 at Istanbul Expo Centre.
It is a free, trade-only B2B show co-located with Motobike Istanbul, connecting bicycle, e-bike, parts and accessory brands with distributors and retailers from Türkiye, the Middle East, India, Russia and Europe.
The 2026 debut drew 174 exhibitors and more than 148,000 visitors across the combined Motobike and Eurobike halls.

Why visit
Visitors get a compact, free trade show where Turkish manufacturers, importers and regional distributors meet in one venue. The co-location with Motobike Istanbul adds motorcycle retail and mobility buyers, widening the chance of finding a distribution partner or comparable product range in a single trip.
Why exhibit
Exhibiting gives brands direct access to Turkish distributors, retail chains, e-commerce sellers and buyers from neighbouring markets, with the Eurobike name carrying weight among cycling specialists. A first-edition footprint of 174 exhibitors means a stand can still stand out without the scale of Eurobike Frankfurt.

New this edition
1
Eurobike debut in Türkiye
The first Turkish edition of the Eurobike brand, staged with the established Motobike Istanbul.
Eurobike Istanbul debuted in 2026 as a co-located satellite of Motobike Istanbul, giving the Eurobike brand a Turkish and regional bridgehead. The combined show reported 174 exhibitors, over 500 brands and more than 148,000 visitors, a strong first outing for a new B2B cycling platform.
Audience quality
High-value decision-makers
The audience is a mix of Turkish trade buyers and regional distributors, with consumer visitors admitted alongside professionals on the shared Motobike floor. Exhibitors should expect high footfall but qualify leads carefully, because not every visitor is a purchasing decision-maker.
Exhibitor outcomes
Real business growth
ROI depends on distribution goals: brands seeking a Turkish importer can meet several candidates in four days, while those chasing immediate orders should pre-book meetings. The free trade entry keeps visitor acquisition cost low but raises the need for disciplined lead capture.
Intelligence
Market context

Türkiye and the wider Europe–Middle East cycling market
Why it matters
Türkiye combines domestic bicycle manufacturing with growing e-bike assembly and exports to Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Istanbul sits at the junction of those flows, so a Eurobike-branded show here gives international brands a lower-cost route into Turkish distribution and gives Turkish makers a showcase for export buyers.
Industry trends
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
01
E-bike localisation
Turkish assemblers are expanding e-bike and pedelec production for domestic and export demand, creating demand for drive systems, batteries and components.
What it changes: Component suppliers can meet assemblers and importers in one place.
Book stands and hotels 4–6 months ahead; April is a busy convention month in Istanbul.
Eurobike Istanbul is best planned as part of a wider two-wheeler sourcing calendar, paired with the co-located Motobike Istanbul and the flagship Eurobike show in Germany.

Answers
Frequently asked
When is Eurobike Istanbul 2027?
Eurobike Istanbul 2027 runs from Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 April 2027 at Istanbul Expo Centre. Day 1 opens at 13:00 for trade visitors, with VIP guests and press admitted from 10:00; the following three days run from 10:00 to 19:00. It is the second edition after the 2026 debut.
Where is Eurobike Istanbul held?
The show is held at Istanbul Expo Centre in Yeşilköy, Bakırköy, on the European side of Istanbul, Türkiye. The venue is close to Istanbul Airport and Atatürk Airport land, with metro and taxi connections to the city centre. It shares the fairground with Motobike Istanbul.
Is Eurobike Istanbul free to attend?
Yes. Admission is free of charge and the fair is open to trade visitors only. There is no paid ticket tier. Visitors should register in advance through the organiser and bring photo ID plus the confirmation to collect a badge; on-site registration was not confirmed for 2027.
Who should exhibit at Eurobike Istanbul?
Bicycle and e-bike brands, parts and component makers, apparel and helmet suppliers, cargo bike and micromobility companies, and Turkish exporters targeting Europe or the Middle East should exhibit. Stand staff should speak Turkish or English, and the company needs a distributor-ready price list, MOQ sheet and clear territory policy before the show opens.
Who visits Eurobike Istanbul?
Visitors include distributors, retail buyers, e-commerce category managers, purchasing agents, athletes, mechanics and accessory providers. Most come from Türkiye, with others from the Middle East, India, Russia and Europe. The co-located Motobike Istanbul adds motorcycle dealers and mobility buyers, so exhibitors meet a wider two-wheeler audience than at a pure bicycle fair.
How big was Eurobike Istanbul 2026?
The 2026 debut ran alongside Motobike Istanbul and reported 174 exhibitors, more than 500 brands and over 148,000 combined visitors across four days. Trade press gives 148,445 visitors. The organiser did not publish a separate Eurobike-only visitor or exhibitor count, so the listing treats these as combined two-wheeler show figures.
Is Eurobike Istanbul open to the public?
No. The organiser states the fair is open to trade visitors only, even though the shared Motobike Istanbul floor has a consumer-facing character. Visitors should expect to show a trade badge or business identification at the entrance. Consumer visitors who are unsure should contact the organiser before travelling to Istanbul.
What products are shown at Eurobike Istanbul?
The product range covers bicycles of every type, e-bikes and pedelecs, frames, drive systems, wheels, brakes and other components, accessories, cycling apparel, helmets, child bikes, cargo bikes and micromobility products. Repair and maintenance equipment also has a dedicated section. The official product list runs from complete bikes down to small parts and clothing.
Who organises Eurobike Istanbul?
Messe Frankfurt Istanbul organises the show in cooperation with fairnamic GmbH, the Eurobike brand joint venture. The Turkish Bicycle Industry Association, BISED, and the World Bicycle Industry Association, WBIA, support the event. For stand sales and visitor questions, use the contact form on the official Eurobike Istanbul website rather than third-party agents.
Which airport should I use for Eurobike Istanbul?
Istanbul Airport (IST) is the main international gateway, roughly 40–60 minutes from Istanbul Expo Centre by taxi or rideshare. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is on the Asian side and takes longer. Allow extra time in peak traffic and use the metro M1A line as a cheaper option.
