Introduction
We're thrilled to announce that the CGO009 has won the prestigious German Design Award 2026 in the Bicycles and E-Bikes category, standing out for its modern features and timelessly classic design.
Each award we win here at TENWAYS is just as exciting as the last, but we'd love to tell you exactly why this achievement means so much to us and why it's significant.
Let's take a look!
The German Design Award 2026: Why the CGO009 Stands Out
The German Design Awards are one of the world's most prestigious design communities, spotlighting the best designs across industries every year.
What did the experts have to say about why the TENWAYS CGO009 stands out in the Bicycles and E-Bikes category?
They described the CGO009 as a "stylish interpretation of the Dutch e-bike", highlighting its "parallel style aesthetics" alongside features such as the TENWAYS C9 motor, Gates carbon belt drive, and app connectivity.
But what makes these features stand out?
- TENWAYS C9 hub motor: This powerful motor delivers 250W of power with 45Nm of torque for whisper-quiet pedal assistance and effortless riding.
- Gates carbon belt drive: Designed for city efficiency, the Gates carbon belt drive is a low-maintenance, smooth system that's durable and silent.
- Power boost function: For urban riders, the power boost function gives an extra surge of assistance, which is particularly useful when navigating hills.
- App connectivity: GPS tracking, motion detection alerts, and live data about your e-bike are all easily accessible from the TENWAYS app via the built-in smart connect module.
- Modern, sustainable design: Available in 3 classic colours (olive green, ice blue, and midnight black), the CGO009 spots a sleeker, easily-maintained design with sustainability embedded into every feature and facet.
The CGO009 is the perfect e-bike for city dwellers
Beyond its impressive features and appearance, the CGO009 was also noted for its seamless ability to make sustainability and commuting effortless for city dwellers.
The CGO009 is best summarised as a refined, stylish, low-maintenance urban e-bike that combines smart technology with a premium cycling experience.
Part of the reason why the CGO009 has proven itself to be a favourite for urban commuter TENWAYERS is because of its security, smart functionality, and effortless ride — we love making e-biking more accessible and fun, which is why this award means so much to us!
What's next for TENWAYS: Continuing to redefine urban mobility
The German Design Award 2026 is not only another significant milestone for us to add to our ever-growing collection of accolades and awards, but most importantly, another sign that we're continuing to make e-biking more fun, fuss-free, and stylishly sustainable!
We'll continue striving for excellence and hope that as we continue to improve, we’ll be updating you with even more exciting news and developments soon from TENWAYS HQ.
