How to connect e-bikes to the internet
Visualising modern city mobility is about bringing back the human-scale. We are shooting for a more sustainable cityscape and while urbanisation and digitalization continues, we also demand more efficiency, smarter and greener solutions. Dropping cars for e-bikes in that sense is a no brainer to many of us, but for most, the entry barrier is higher to make that change.
Electrifying the bikes has been a big leap to enhance bicycles to a level where it meets contemporary standards. But connecting the e-bikes to the internet has been the key to success for many manufacturers.
IoT adds value to your bikes and your brand in general to stand out from competition.
