$1.5M Specialized Counterfeit Bust, Bosch Invests In Parts & Service, Tern Delivery E-Bikes Cross 1 Million Miles | TWR Ep 61
"Thanks to the collaboration, law enforcement shut down two counterfeit manufacturers in China. These counterfeiters made fake Specialized frames and Roval (a Specialized subsidiary) handlebars and wheels, along with other products branded under Trek, Cannondale, Cervélo, and Pinarello. According to a statement from AliExpress, this was the biggest counterfeit bust in Specialized's history. The statement also pointed out that counterfeit products often bypass quality and safety standards. For this reason, they can fail catastrophically, potentially causing injuries to their users."
"This week's e-bike news covers a wide variety of stories, including a major counterfeit bust, Bosch's continued expansion into parts and service, and a major milestone for one of the world's most prominent, premium cargo e-bike brands. Specialized's largest counterfeit bust occurred recently in China, thanks to collaborations with Chinese law enforcement and AliExpress. Together, the group stopped two operations worth $1.5 million."
Specialized collaborated with AliExpress and Chinese law enforcement to shut down two counterfeit manufacturing operations in China, stopping roughly $1.5 million in fake products. Counterfeiters produced fake Specialized frames and Roval handlebars and wheels, plus items bearing Trek, Cannondale, Cervélo, and Pinarello branding, posing safety risks. Bosch eBike Systems completed a purchase of Magura Bosch Parts & Services, bringing the European supplier and servicer fully under Bosch ownership to strengthen aftermarket support and supply-chain resilience. Tern delivery e-bikes deployed in New York City have accumulated over one million miles, demonstrating product reliability across consumer and fleet use.
