A new generation of fashionistas have turned their attention to Ebikes

Ebike, which is an electric bicycle or electric motorcycle, is different from traditional electric vehicles. The appearance of an electric motorcycle is similar to that of a bicycle, but the difference is that an electric motorcycle is equipped with a battery, motor and electronic control system.

Why not just buy an electric car?

First of all, Ebike has sports attributes and can meet the needs of exercise and transportation at the same time. The electric bikes currently on the market are almost impossible to pedal forward, and electric motorcycles stand out in the track of sports and health with a new definition.

Secondly, the Ebike has a range of 50-80 kilometers, which can fully meet the needs of daily commuting. In some special places, such as many seaside parks, electric vehicles are not allowed to enter, but Ebike can be freely driven, which is more convenient.

Furthermore, the design of Ebike is fashionable and diverse, standing out from the crowd and becoming a beautiful landscape on the street. This is an important consideration for many cycling enthusiasts. In recent years, the cycling circle has become popular, and there is a gradual trend towards Ebike.

But overall, the threshold for Ebike is still relatively high. It adds batteries, motors and electronic control systems, so the price is relatively high, almost all above 10,000.

At the same time, like electric cars, potential users of Ebikes will also consider the issue of charging. Generally, it takes 6 to 10 hours to charge an electric bicycle. Such a long charging time is indeed a problem for modern people and office workers who pursue efficiency! Fast charging will be the key to the popularization of Ebikes.

In fact, fast charging technology is not difficult. The realization of fast charging technology depends on several key technologies:

● High-power charger: Fast-charge chargers can provide higher charging power, usually several times or more than the power of traditional chargers. This allows e-bikes to charge most of the battery in a short period of time.

● High energy density battery: Modern electric bicycles are usually equipped with high energy density lithium-ion batteries, which are not only lightweight but also can store more electrical energy in a shorter time, which is suitable for fast charging needs.

● Intelligent charging management system: The intelligent management system can monitor the battery's charging status and temperature to ensure battery safety and long life during fast charging.

In response to the market trend of light electric vehicles such as Ebike, Avnet has launched a 600W/2000W LEV charger solution, which can optimize the charging process, effectively reduce energy loss while providing faster charging speed, thereby further improving overall efficiency.

In addition, battery standardization is also critical. It is necessary to establish a unified battery standard so that different brands of electric bicycles can use the same battery replacement system. The layout of charging piles should be reasonably planned to ensure that the coverage and charging power of charging piles meet the needs.

Imagine that during your lunch break or between work, you can "revive" your bike and continue your cycling journey.

Safety is another major problem that bothers cyclists. There are many cycling accidents around us every day. However, some high-end Ebikes have begun to try to apply ADAS technology, and electric bicycles will become more "smart".

ADAS, or advanced driver assistance system, is a "black technology" exclusive to automobiles. Now with its popularization in the automotive field, it has also begun to show its potential in electric bicycles.

So, how do electric bicycles use ADAS?

Imagine that when you are riding on the road, the car can automatically identify obstacles in front of you and sound an alarm or automatically brake when a collision is about to happen; when a vehicle or pedestrian enters your blind spot, the system will remind you in time; when riding at night, the car can also automatically adjust the brightness of the lights to enhance your vision; if you accidentally deviate from the lane, the vehicle will also sound an alarm to remind you. These intelligent functions not only greatly improve the safety of riding, but also make the riding experience easier and more enjoyable.

With the introduction of ADAS technology, electric bicycles will significantly improve riding safety and comfort and reduce accident risks. In the future, they will also be seamlessly connected with smartphones, smart homes and other devices to provide more functions and personalized services.

Ebike is not only a means of transportation, but also a lifestyle. It represents a healthy, environmentally friendly and fashionable attitude towards life. In the long run, Ebike riding is zero-emission and environmentally friendly. With its successful experience in electric vehicle charging, Avnet will provide all-round support for the popularization and performance improvement of Ebike around the two core technologies of ADAS and efficient EV chargers, so that more people can enjoy the charm of technology and feel the fun of free riding.
