Nextbike has been running bike-sharing systems for over 20 years, operating across more than 400 cities in 20 countries. For nextbike, bike-sharing is a fundamental component of holistic urban mobility concepts, integrated into public transportation as a public service. Buses, trains, and bikes, working together, not in parallel silos.

That philosophy is what Nextbike is bringing to Micromobility Europe 2026 in Berlin, where the company will participate as a partner for the first time.

Micromobility Europe 2026 takes place on June 2-3 at Arena Berlin, the same city where the very first edition of the conference was held. This year's event brings together operators, city officials, investors, and mobility builders for two days of keynotes, product showcases, panel discussions, and hands-on demos. The 2026 edition places a particular focus on getting the people who run cities into the same room as the people building the future of mobility, because that conversation is where real progress gets made.

Nextbike fits squarely into that vision.

More than just showing up

Nextbike isn't attending MME 2026 just to be in the room. The company will use the occasion to present its new e-bike.

At the heart of nextbike's approach is the belief that no single vehicle type fits every city. The company runs mixed fleets, combining standard pedal bikes with e-bikes, and tailors them to the specific needs of each tender. 

Sebastian Popp, CEO of the nextbike Group, explains the thinking behind it:

"We are participating as a partner at Micromobility Europe for the first time and will be presenting our new e-bike. E-bikes have sparked a new boom in the bicycle industry. We offer many cities a mixed fleet of pedal bikes and e-bikes for their tenders. While e-bikes make sense for longer and topographically challenging routes, standard bikes work well in the city centre and keep implementation and operational costs low."

Nextbike's approach reaches beyond city boundaries. Bike-sharing is not a standalone product but part of a broader public transport network, designed to serve as a first- and last-mile solution integrated alongside buses and trains. The company sees this multimodal approach as central to connecting not just city centres, but also commuter routes between metropolitan areas and surrounding regions.

That is the kind of thinking Micromobility Europe 2026 was built for. 

Prabin Joel Jones, CEO of Micromobility Industries:

"We're thrilled to welcome Nextbike as a partner this year. Shared bikes have seen strong momentum across Europe in recent years, and Nextbike has been at the forefront of that growth. I'm looking forward to what Nextbike will showcase in Berlin and the conversations they will help lead around the future of urban transport."

See you in Berlin!
