The term Testival is now firmly embedded in the minds of our fans, and has been since 2010, to be precise. It combines the two words “test ride” and “festival” or, in other words, “come by and test our e-bikes in an exciting festival atmosphere”.

At Kalkhoff, we make a distinction between truck events and trailer events. A Testival Truck always comes with a trained Kalkhoff promoter to provide you with help and advice, while with a Testival Trailer, you will only be able to receive advice from your dealer, i.e. with no Kalkhoff promoter present.

We always say that anyone who has never sat on an e-bike hasn’t experienced freedom. You should therefore never leave our Testival without going for a test ride. Our Testival Trucks and Testival Trailers offer you our latest e-bike models. Either our trained e-bike experts or the dealer at the event will help you find the e-bike that suits you and your daily needs. In order to be able to fulfil all your expectations, we generally recommend that you do not attend the Testival during peak hours.

The following e-bikes from the 2021 model year can be found on the Testival truck:
– Endeavour 7
– Endeavour 5
– Endeavour 3
– Entice 7
– Entice 5
– Entice 3
– Image 5
– Agattu 4
– Agattu 3

Yes, this year we will bring an Endeavour 5 and an Agattu 3 in the XXL style. Both e-bikes can carry up to 170 kg and will be available for testing.

Yes, this year, too, a 45 km/h S-Pedelec is available, making it easier and more fun to transition to taking the bike instead of the car to work on a daily basis.

Yes, this year, too, an e-bike with a low-maintenance, quiet belt is available for testing on the truck.

Due to the high demand, we have restricted our Testival portfolio to electric bikes. However, fortunately most of our retailers have a wide selection of pedal bikes in their stores. So, to answer the question: Yes, you can.

You can attend a Testival with your on-site dealer without having to pay a penny. Simply come along to your desired location at any time and receive free advice from our trained e-bike experts or your dealer, including a test ride. For the larger exhibitions, such as VELOBerlin etc., you should expect to pay a small entry fee.
