Electric Dreams Keeps e-Bike Riders in Sync with their Bikes

EDG wants transportation to be, well, electric. On average, a gas or diesel fueled car releases more than two tons of carbon dioxide every year. EDG’s mobility technology could power cars with zero emissions, leading to better air quality and hence fewer health problems and healthcare costs associated with air pollution. Not to mention noise pollution reduction resulting from significantly quieter vehicle operation.

With its development center installed in one of the most important technological centers in Brazil, the São José dos Campos Technological Park – SP, Electric Dreams has an important laboratory structure to implement and validate the technologies developed for all sorts of electric vehicles that meet the demands of today’s consumer looking for urban mobility solutions without pollution emissions.

“Sustainability and reduction of fossil fuels consumption are issues that drive us,” explained Fábio Guillaumon, CEO of Electric Dreams. “But we also want to deliver performance; the goal is to provide our customers with a superlative vehicle that offers a unique combination of power, style, performance and innovation.”

Electric Dreams recently applied its mobility technology to an electric bike, the EDG Niobium e-Bike. In order to provide the same desirable user experience that it offers in its automobiles, EDG was looking to offer a variety of performance and location tracking features to further improve the electronic mobility lifestyle. The company wanted users to be able to track energy performance, know the available travel range before the next charge, be notified of impending mechanical issues, as well as to be able to track the location of the bike in case of theft or in the service of a bike-sharing program.

“Using a Niobium-enhanced steel alloy for our framework grants greater resistance, strength and toughness to the material, which is fundamental to reach our low-cost and lightness standards,” said Fábio. “We needed to ensure that whatever additional mechanisms we incorporated to provide connectivity didn’t affect the weight of the bike, yet could match the same performance and reliability standards we expect from every other aspect of our product.”
