Project description
We are developing an innovative electrification kit for cargo bike trailers, designed to make the transportation of heavy loads effortless. With our unique control algorithm, our solution drives two electric motors that enable the trailer to follow the bike without transmitting any force to it. This innovation addresses the growing demand in the cargo bike market, providing a safe, practical, and reliable transportation option for urban centers.
Status/Results
Our goal for 2025 is to industrialize the design of our current product and launch a pilot project with a trailer manufacturer. This project will focus on validating the implementation of our electrification kit in an existing trailer model, with the aim of being ready for commercialization by early 2026.
