E-bikes come closer to Europe
It has been long time since Panasonic presented its first e-bike 1979 in Japan, that electrically assisted cycling has become a mass (and growth) market. Bicycles always enjoyed a particular attention within the global corporation, as company founder Konosuke Matsushita worked in a bicycle store in his youth, and have therefore been part of the product range since the 1950s.
New paradigms in e-micromobility
To differentiate their offering in a fiercely competitive market, e-micromobility brands continuously refine their services to make them more convenient, satisfying, fun, and, ultimately, the best way to get from one place to another.But there’s a lot going on behind the scenes - a lot of complexity to manage - to create the illusion of simplicity needed for customers to return to the same brand again and again. In this blog post, we look a...
The tech that can make or break micromobility
Without reliable real time knowledge on the whereabouts of each individual e-scooter, e-bike, or e-motorcycle in a fleet, today’s platform-based business model in micromobility would simply fall apart. You’d be hard-pressed to find a single provider that doesn’t depend on satellite-based positioning information. As a result, micromobilty has, in just a few years, become a key market for GNSS receiver manufacturers.
How 3D printed motor nodes became a gamechanger in e-bikes
Motor nodes are one of the hardest e-bike parts to manufacture. When GSD Global turned toSandvik’s experts in metal powder and additive manufacturing,to 3D print their motor nodes in titanium, they found they could achieve a lighter, more durable and much more energy efficient solution.
Improving engine reactivity with hall-speed-sensor tech
With the increasing popularity and growing trend of E-Bikes, bicycle system suppliers have set goals to optimise power and performance of their drive systems. In order to support the driver in the best possible way, hall-speed-sensors are used to deliver the required data and thus adapt the engine's power support to the total speed.
High-performance MOSFET for e-bike market
MagnaChip Semiconductor has announced the release of a 100V Mid-Voltage MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) with a new thermal package (M2PAK-7P) designed for the fast-growing e-Bike market. This MOSFET with M2PAK-7P is suitable to meet the particular requirements of electric bike (e-Bike) systems.
Charging e-bike batteries without a cable
Wireless battery charging is a comfortable and maintenance-free affair. Companies wishing to tap these advantages for the market of e-bikes and other small electrical vehicles can now turn to Würth Elektronik for development and component support.
E-bike sensor for for better system alignment
E-Bikes are becoming a more commonplace form of transport on our roads. The growing sales figures and increasing market share highlight their importance within the biking industry. E-Bike manufacturers are continually launching new innovations and technical advancements, such as manufacturer TQ-Systems who have initiated and established the market sector for premium class E-Bikes.
Addressing the challenges of e-bike design
Compared to traditional bicycle, e-bikes are significantly more expensive and consumers are looking for touchscreen interfaces and convenience, says Sven Hegner, chief engineer, Toshiba Electronics Europe
Low power MCU features analogue and DMA in low cost package
STMicroelectronics is boosting feature integration in low cost, low power 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) with the newSTM8L050. As the latest in the ultra energy-consciousSTM8Lseries, it embeds rich analogue peripherals, a DMA controller, and separated data EEPROM, all in an inexpensive SO-8 package with up to six user I/Os.
