Pedal force sensor saves hard work on electric bike
ZEMIC has developed an electric bike pedal force sensor in conjunction with the Netherlands firm SPARTA – the most successful e-bike brand in Europe. The sensor is a crucial component in the bike’s drive and control system that detects the pedal force applied, and through software settings determines a proportional amount of assisted motor power at the wheel. Rather than a speed sensor, this control gives the rider a more intuitive ri...
A round up of the 10th Battery Experts Forum
Which took place from 5th until 7th April 2016 in Aschaffenburg’s city hall, the 10th Battery Experts Forum, formerly known as 'Developer Forum Battery Technology', impressed attendees with an even more comprehensive programme than in the years before.
Programmable SoC keep e-bike wheels turning
Design techniques and challenges to implement an electronic bike (e-bike) are explored by Ronak Desai, Cypress Semiconductors.
Reference design for lithium e-bike batteries
Implementing accurate cell monitoring and balancing without requiring a microcontroller in the (BMS) Battery Management System, ams have introduced a reference design for lithium pedelec/e-bike batteries. Battery pack and pedelec manufacturers who use the design will benefit from valuable BOM savings and a simpler circuit design.
Technology for the mobility of the future
In light of the global trend toward urbanization, our mobility needs are increasing rapidly. At the same time, standards for clean air, noise control, and climate protection are becoming stricter. At the UN conference on implementing Rio+20 decisions – held in Berlin from June 19 to 21 – internationally recognized experts are meeting to discuss the resource-conserving transportation of the future. Bosch is taking part, with both detailed pres...
The Electric Vehicle Business: New Developments
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a large, growing market with new sectors being added all the time such as the pure electric, multi-rotor volocopter that spawned a new regulatory category in German aviation this year. IDTechEx find that pure electric car sales in 2013 will be 70,000 vehicles rising to 2 million in 2023, versus 2 million hybrid vehicles this year rising to 7.6 million in 2023. Of course, the big unit numbers come at the small end - mos...

Sven Bauer, the co-founder and present sole owner of Batterien-Montage-Zentrum GmbH, has been awarded the prestigious title of “Entrepreneur of the Year 2012” by the international auditing and accountancy group Ernst & Young.
Rapid Change in the Vehicle Battery Industry
By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx Manufacturers of vehicle batteries were in a slow moving industry based on lead-acid batteries. However, they are now in an era of very rapid change. Product re-positioning and new technology can make the difference between high sustainable profits and oblivion.
TI introduces industry's first single-chip battery management device for e-bike applications
Texas Instruments Incorporated introduced the industry's first fully integrated battery protection and cell-balancing solution for Li-Ion and lithium iron phosphate battery packs. The bq77910 battery management and protection device can manage 4- to 10-cell battery packs, and two devices can be stacked to protect 11- to 20-cell packs. The device simplifies battery pack designs for e-bikes, e-scooters, portable gardening tools, power tools and uni...
