Shared Electric Bike

Today, we will discuss the characteristics and differences of shared electric bicycles, bikes and electrombile.

The popularity of shared electric bicycles will reduce the environmental problem of electrombile. The scrap batteries of electrombile are very difficult to solve. The root of this problem cannot be collected effectively. We know that the environmental protection of industrial waste disposal is very easy to solve. The responsible party of shared electric bikes service is operating enterprise. For scrapped batteries, it is very easy to collect to centralized impressing.

The popularity of shared electric bikes will reduce fire accidents. There are very serious fire accident which is caused by electrombile in Shanghai. The shared electric bicycle centralized charging facility must strict inspections of safety and fire protection. Centralized charging improves charging effeciency, and fire accidents can be eliminated.

With the popularity of shared city electric bikes, the number of electrombiles in stock will be greatly reduced. 

Shared Electric Bike in City

In Changzhou, Youon bicycles are very popular, and now they have began to shared electric bike. It is called pedal electric cycle in Europe and the United Sates. City  Electric bike is a personal transport which has the lightness and convenience of a bicycle and can effectively compensate for the burden of bicycles. It regarded traditional bicycle as basics and dynamical system with motor and battery is core.

The biggest difference from electromobile is that it does not adjust the power level by turning the handle. For electric bike, people need to use the sensor to feel the strength of the rider’s footsteps. It cannot be driven by electromobile with pure power-operated, but it needs a “human+electric power”. Why do we develop shared electric bike?

The ride experience of fat tire electric bike will be very good. There are two obvious and insurmountable shortcomings of shared bicycles. At first, shared bicycles commonly used solid tires to reduce maintenance costs, so its riding experience is very poor. Generally speaking, it is unbearable for people to ride more than two kilometers. At second, there is no effective continuous power supply, which affects the reliability of GPS positioning and intelligent information. Sharing electric bike solves these problems very well.

Shared electric bike is a vehicle that is specially designed to meet the short-distance travel of urban residents, and has obvious differences from ordinary electric bicycles. The characteristic of shared electric bike is that if people do not pedal, the bike would not move.

Chinese Market of Electric Bike

It has been 23 years since the first fat tire electric bike was launched in 1993. As the birthplace, electric bikes have a very high degree of popularity in Japan. As a bicycle culture center, the sales of Europe have been deteriorating in recent years, only electric bikes have grown against the trend. Along with Chinese urbanization and consumption upgrading, the development of electric bike and potential markets are also widely expected.

Electric bike refers to a bicycle which equipped qith a motor and pedal. Generally speaking, electric bike is bicycle plus PAS. PAS makes cycling easier.

Why is city electric bike not popular in China? The reason is lack of core technology. PAS has a high technical threshold. Japan has always been led by Yamaha, Panasonic, and Europe is Bosch, Brose and other enterprises. China lacks such famous companies. We all know that the price od PAS is 6000RMB. On the other hand, the technology of electromobile is cheaper than electric bike. Chinese people are more willing to buy electromobile. For Chinese consumers, electric bikes are still new. No doubt about that Chinese market is big in the furture. 

Electric Bike also is called Power Assist Bike

Electric Bike is a new type of two-wheeled vehicle with a shape similar to a bicycle. It regards battery as an auxiliary power source. Electric bike also has a motor and a power assist system, which can realize a new type of vehicle with human riding and motor assisting integration.

In the field of assist bicycles, the motor installation positions are mainly divided into two types. One is a center, which the motor is installed in the middle position of the vehicle body, and we called it as middle motor. The middle motor is connected to the frame and transmits power through the chain and the rear wheel. At the same time, the two sides of the motor are equipped with pedals. Rider can ride the pedals to achieve human riding without power. Hub motor is installed in the hub of the electric bike. Compared with the hub motor, middle motor has great advantages in the terms of technology and performance.

The biggest difference between electric bike and bike is the motor, battery and controller. Power assist bike does not have a control valve(ordinary acceleration handle).

About Electric Bike

Fat Tire Electric bike originally originated in Japan and developped in Europe. According to EU regulations, related products are generally divided into three categories: Pedelec, S-Pedelec and ebike.

With different power-assisting modes, oedelec can meet the special requirements of different users. Usually, the gears are divided by the strength of the boost, and some brands can distinguish the gear according to application scene, such as flat road, off-road, climbing and downhill. Of course, the degree of assist will affect the cruising range of the motor boost and the energy consumption of the battery.

S-Pedelec is a high-speed model of the electric bike, and also known as the high-speed assist electric bicycle. It works in the same way as a regular electric bike. It is also necessary to step on the manpower, and the motor will give the boost. The difference is that S-Pedelec has higher rated power and power-off threshold.

The third category is mountain electric bike. The biggest difference between assist bicycle is that the vehicle will be ridden by the motor even if the pedal is not stepped on. In Europe, electric bikes are in the category of light motorcycles, which require insurance and licensing.

No matter what brand of electric power assist system, the essence is to convert electric energy into kinetic energy and apply it to the bicycle transmission system. It could make riding easier and less laborious. The electric power system is essentially a sensor, controller and motor.

Intelligentization will be a Trend of Electric Bike

Intelligentization has become an important direction of product upgrade and technological breakthrough for electric bike industry. At present, many electric bike companies have launched products that can interact with humans through mobile APP. Interactivity, intelligence and entertainment provide users unprecedednted expereince.
With the development of society, electric bike is not only simple means of transportation, consumers have put more stringent requirements on the user experience and performance of electric bike products. The era of smart lithium electric bike has arrived. With the emergence of new battery and motor control technologies, conventional electric bikes have not met the market requirements for new products.
From the perspective of market supply, the investmet in the electric bike industry is good. As the demand for electric bicycles continues to grow and sales continue to expand, existing electric bicycle manufacturers continue to expand their production capacity, and the influx of high-quality bicycle or motorcycle manufacturers will drive the growth of electric bicycle production.
New industries and production growth in the industry will lead to more fierce competition in the industry, prompting China's electric bicycle manufacturers to continuously improve their technological level, develop new products that meet market and consumer needs, and attach importance to brand building to enhance consumer awareness. It is necessary to further strengthen management, control product production costs, and embark on the brand development path centered on product innovation. Intelligentization Fat Tire Electric Bike will be a Trend.

Electric Bike is German’s New Favorite

With the worsening of trafice and environment, people are looking for internal combustion engine to replace. Although zero-pollution bikes are economical and environmentally friendly, the uphill slop is laborious in the hilly area of south-central Germany. More and more Germans are now turning their attention to an fat tire electric bike.

The price of electric bike is between 1,500 to 3,000 euros, which is much more expensive than bike. The consumer groups of electric power-assisted bicycles are mainly middle-aged and old people. Old people could easily to ride to the top of the mountain depend on electric motors. It is not a problem to ride dozens of kilometers every day.

According to the German traffic regulations, electric bike should be ridden by pedals, and the speed of the electric motor is not more than 25km/h. The rules are the same as for ordinary bicycles. Driver’s license or extra insurance is not required.

Just as the mountian bikes of the 1990s, it brought a technological revolution to the bicycle industry. Sudden emergence of electric bicycles can inject new vitality into the industry.
