This news couldn’t have come at a better time. “In fact, this is one of those news that comes at the right time. The Portugal Bike Value Digital Show is taking place, a digital event that we have launched and with which we intend to put the Portuguese sector of smooth mobility accessible to buyers and brands around the world, within a click.” It highlights the General Section of ABIMOTA. Portugal Bike Value Digital Show runs until Friday, the 23rd, with a digital exhibition space, webinars and direct contacts.

PBV – The Covid Reaction

On the account of the pandemic, people rediscovered the pleasure of walking on the street. Europe in general discovered (or rediscovered) the bike, discovered that there is life outside the home, that there is life outside the sofas, outside of social networks, discovered the outdoors. So, one of the ways to exercise in a solitary way, keeping the safe distance, is in fact the bike. This caused that demand increase exponential. No factory has been able to anticipate this reality and increase production capacity to meet this challenge. The factories already have a high level of technology and are not able in such a short time to produce twice what they previously produced.

A panel of industry experts who will discuss the effects, opportunities and threats that result from this phase of global pandemic.

jack.d.hudspith@gmail.com Enviei um e-mail para (abimota@abimota.pt) na semana passada sobre alguma ajuda para encontrar uma fábrica e pensei que eu faria uma mensagem novamente caso ela estivesse perdida. Somos uma jovem empresa britânica de luvas de ciclismo e estamos interessados em trabalhar com fabricantes portugueses para nos ajudar a dimensionar nossa produção. Você conhece fábricas ou produtores de produtos para ciclismo? Especialmente luvas ou roupas que podem nos ajudar? Qualquer informação nesta fase seria extremamente útil.

nadiamutoni@gmail.com I am a sales agent from Belgium, my client has designed a bike that is currently being made in China. Because of the anti dumping tax, we are looking for a company that can assemble the bike parts, if imported from Asia. Can you recommend any? I believe there’s a factory that does this kind of task for Decathlon.
