Cycling Electric reveals Demo Day 2026 information following successful events this year

Electric bike specialist title CyclingElectric.com has announced that its e-bike Demo Days will return to the four established locations in 2026, following a successful series of events in 2025.

These test ride events give attendees the opportunity to compare electric bikes side-by-side on purpose-built cycling circuits, free from traffic. Plus, in 2026, the publisher and events company is set to bring in help for first-time riders in the form of an adult cycle trainer, helping those who haven’t ridden in a long time to familiarise themselves with the e-bike and cargo bike experience.

Whether you’re in the market for an e-bike or simply want to find out what it’s like to ride one, the Demo Day provides the opportunity to test-ride electric bikes from a variety of manufacturers, covering all price points. The bikes available to test will include commuter, folding, cargo, leisure, road bikes, gravel and kiddie carriers.

Event dates:

• 19^th April 2026, Lee Valley VeloPark, London 
• 7^th June 2026, The Brownless Centre, Leeds
• 14^th June 2026, Odd Down Cycle Track, Bath
• 5^th July 2026, Herne Hill Velodrome, London

Brands set to attend the 2026 series will be announced early next year. Last year’s brands included Tenways, Jorvik, Dolan, Velo de Ville, Raleigh, ARCC, Riese & Müller, Estarli and Benno.

Cycling Electric Editor Mark Sutton said: "Test riding plays an incredibly important role in the buying process and heading into our third year we’re further refining our events to better help people get started cycling again. I’ve seen the difference a demo can make in helping people understand how e-bikes ride, plus how owning an electric bike can unlock newfound freedoms and transport cost savings."

Commercial Director for Cycling Electric, Adrian Hogan, added: "Following the successful launch in 2024, this year’s series of Cycling Electric Demo Days gives brands the chance to connect with a nationwide audience of consumers who are actively looking to test and buy an e-bike. Last year’s events generated countless bike sales, and this year offers an even greater opportunity for brands to engage directly with potential customers across the UK."
