Detailed project
NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.
What is the issue addressed?
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.
How is the problem solved?
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.
What is the customer target?
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.
How is this solution different?
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.
