Expansion in range, visitors and knowledge
GORINCHEM – With the launch of the new corporate identity, the trade event Velovak takes
the next step. In the new, modern identity with an urban look, it is even easier to see what
type of two-wheeler applications can be found at Velovak. The leading purchasing,
networking and knowledge event for the two-wheeler industry will expand with cargo(bikes)
and technical workshops. With topics such as last mile delivery and the connected bike, it is
also a trade event for public authorities and service providers in the delivery, leasing, rental
and sharing industries. The fifth edition of Velovak will be held on 18, 19 and 20 September
2022 in Evenementenhal Gorinchem, The Netherlands.
“Whether you are an entrepreneur, working in a two-wheeler shop, in a sports specialist shop or for a
company that uses two-wheelers for business purposes, there is a suitable programme and offer for every
professional.” says Mascha de Bruin on behalf of Velovak. The bicycle and scooter mechanics of the
Benelux can brush up their technical knowledge for the first time at various short workshops in Velovak’s
Workshop. BAFANG and MAGURA have already confirmed that they will provide several training
sessions.
New this year is the Velovak Academy, with a special knowledge programme for public authorities and
service providers on Tuesday 20 September. On Sunday and Monday, the knowledge and inspiration
sessions are aimed at the bicycle and scooter retailers of the Benelux. Roel Peerenboom of Peerenboom
Fietsen is the first speaker we are announcing! He will give two inspiration sessions on how you can offer
added value with your shop and how you can stand out from the competition. OOMT is also part of the
programme with the theme strategic staff policy for developing and retaining your staff. During Velovak,
you can also ride a bike yourself during the indoor racing championship, powered by exhibitor Wahoo.
Mascha continues: “Last year, for the first time, we had the Test Course, the Sports Café and the Start-up
Square. All three are coming back, but now even better and bigger! In September, you can test the latest
bicycles, mopeds, scooters and everything in between from various stands on the Test Course. In the Sport
Café de Demarrage none other than Jim van den Berg of Cyclinglab and Join trainingapp will give
inspiring sessions about bikefitting, nutrition and training. For the second year in a row, the Start-up
Square will be part of Velovak. Last year, for example, the world’s first wireless charging tile, the first
hydrogen-powered bicycle and cargo bike, and the fastest-charging e-bike in the world were on display at
this square”.
Also this year, the trade magazine and main media partner Tweewieler will organise the ‘Tweewielerwinkel
van het Jaar’ election during Velovak. On Monday the 19th of September, the winners of this election will
be announced. All visitors are welcome during this festive ceremony. “Also, on Sunday and Tuesday we
will throw a party! At the end of both exhibition days we close up with a happy hour.”
says Mascha de Bruin.
The fifth edition of the trade event Velovak will take place on 18, 19 and 20 September 2022 in Evenementenhal Gorinchem, The Netherlands.
