ratioX - autonomous eBike transmission system

Erhalten : Es handelt sich um alle Innovationen, die über das Online-Formular bei Team for the Planet eingereicht wurden

ratioX is a novel Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The base technology is proven on motor scooters and snowmobiles. ratioX has reimagined CVTs for eBikes. Simple & convenient operation: Unparalleled shifting performance, with no controls at all for the rider Reliable & Clean: Enclosed, therefore low maintenance, and has high durability & is clean Lightweight: Great handling, both when riding and lifting

Das Projekt im Überblick

NB: Dieses Formular wird ausschließlich von den Personen, die die Innovation vorschlagen, ausgefüllt.

Welches Problem wird gelöst?

Daily car transport accounts for 9.5% of Global GHG emissions - the SINGLE BIGGEST EMMITER! This figure is even higher in some places, such as the EU, where the cars account for ~20% of GHG emissions.

Wie wird es gelöst?

Currently 40% of people who want to cycle, choose not to because of the gear system. >So we have developed a simple to use, autonomous gear change system 20% of current cyclists state the gear system is their no.1 issue. This also causes existing cyclists to give up on cycling, and move back to car or PT transport options.

Wer sind die potenziellen Kunden?

Our first revenues are from integration projects with Swiss based Premium bike producers, and Dutch based fatbike producers. Both segments are rethinking the ride experience, and see ratioX as the ideal fit for their customers.

Inwiefern differenziert sich diese Lösung von anderen?

ratioX's patented technology comprises of: >Efficient belt CVT mechanism >Completely autonomous shifting, which means you never even realise the gear is shifting, you simply pedal and ride! >Enclosed grease lubrication system, which does not leak, does not get dirt inside, and does not dirty the rider or any other object.
