Bike Awards 2025

On March 4, the 2025 Bicycle Awards were presented by the Dutch RAI Association. At this annual event, the association awards the most innovative and leading bike models and cycling products. This year, the nominees were divided into four categories: E-Bike of the Year, Cargo Bike of the Year, Bike of the Year, and Bicycle Innovation. We warmly congratulate the winners and are happy to highlight the products that Mantel will include in its range as from the end of March.

E-Bike of the Year 2025

The KOGA E-F3 6.0 more than deserves the title of E-Bike of the Year 2025 - it gives you everything you need in an electric bike: style, power and innovation. KOGA has designed the E-F3 6.0 with an eye for detail and functionality, which you will experience on every ride.

The KOGA E-F3 6.0 has a lightweight aluminium frame with hidden welding seams, which makes for a sleek look as well as a sturdy, stable construction. The integrated battery and cables add to the sleek look and increase protection against dirt and damage. Besides being very light at 22.35 kg, this e-bike comes with striking paintwork that makes it a real eye-catcher on the road.

This electric model is equipped with the Bosch Performance Line SX drive unit, a lightweight motor with 55 Nm of torque and a maximum output of 600 watts. The powerful motor provides excellent pedal assist and makes cycling on various terrains effortless. In addition, this Bosch SX system weighs 30% less than other models in Bosch's Performance series.

What makes the KOGA E-F3 6.0 truly unique is the combination of a low-maintenance Gates belt drive and the Enviolo City hub system with stepless gear shifting. This system ensures super easy and accurate shifting, even under load, and requires much less maintenance than traditional chains and hub gears.

With the KOGA Light Design, you are highly visible at all times. This design couples a stylish light integrated in the head tube with an LED headlight on the handlebars, ensuring your safety on the road. As this fully integrated lighting is always on, others will be able to see you in all conditions and you will be able to clearly see everything around you too.

Cargo Bike of the Year 2025

The Gazelle Cabby has been declared Cargo Bike of the Year 2025 which, considering its many great features, comes as no surprise. This versatile cargo bike is perfect for families looking for a mode of transport that is safe, practical and easy to manoeuver.

The MIK system makes it easy to add and remove accessories. The large cargo section can be split up to allow you to transport things and children separately. The Cabby has a maximum load capacity of 200 kg.

Safety comes first, and so the Cabby comes with a sturdy double-leg stand, coat protectors and disc brakes. It also comes with a suspension fork for a comfortable ride. The monkey bar increases protection for your kids and/or luggage. And the Cabby rides and parks just as easily as a regular e-bike.

Finally, the GPS anti-theft system ensures that your bike is always traceable. If your Cabby moves unexpectedly, the Gazelle Connect app sends you a notification. It is reassuring to know that your bike has this built-in security system.

Bicycle Innovation Award 2025

The ABUS Yardo chain lock has won the Bicycle Innovation Award 2025 - and for good reason. This innovative bike lock uses 360° fingerprint recognition, so you never need a key or numerical code again. Thanks to a capacitive sensor, the lock will recognise your fingerprint no matter how you place your finger. Put your finger flat on the touch pad and the lock will unlock immediately. No more hassle with keys or codes that can be cracked - your finger is the key now.

The Yardo lock is weatherproof; it is IP66 and IP68 certified, which means it is dust- and waterproof and can be exposed to the elements without incurring damage.

The ABUS Yardo lets you store up to 20 fingerprints, the first two of which are for administrators. After that, you can add up to 18 additional users, allowing you to share the lock with family and friends without having to exchange keys or codes.

The ABUS Yardo chain lock is not only super convenient but also provides top security. A smart choice!

The ABUS Yardo lock will be available at Mantel shortly.
