About Velo Solex Revival Sepeda Listrik

Velo Solex Revival adalah sepeda listrik yang didasarkan pada moped bensin Solex orisinal yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 1949. Geometri rangka dan bentuk rangkanya mengikuti desain orisinal tahun 1949, sementara rangkanya telah disesuaikan untuk menampung motor listrik dan baterai. Material modern digunakan, meliputi aluminium, karbon, dan baja. Material ringan seperti karbon dan kevlar membantu menjaga bobot tetap rendah, yang sesuai dengan karakter sepeda yang ringan dan sporty. Kendaraan ini berukuran 180 cm x 55 cm x 95 cm dan berbobot 25 kilogram. Desain ini dikembangkan berdasarkan wawasan yang dihimpun dari 500 konsumen.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Our company has the right to use the Solex brand via a license agreement. The original Solex was introduced in the year 1949 as a gasoline moped. We have taken the design from that time and converted into an electric bicycle. The geometry of the frame and the shape of the frame is the same as in 1949. Wez have converted the frame to accommodate an electric motor and a battery. A lot of modern materials has been used to create this vehicle such as aluminium for the frame.
Dimensions & Packaging: 180 cm x 55 cm x 95 cm. Weight 25 Kilo
Tags: velo Solex, Electric bicycle; Bicycle, e-bike
Production Technology: A variation of materials are used to realise this vehicle. Alluminium, Carbon and steel
Design Challenge: The most critical challenge was to get the weight down to a record breaking level. The electric bicycle has a race bike dna and must therefor be light. But having the added weight of a battery and a motor was the most difficult challenge. The way we have solved the challenges is by using untraditional materials for an electric bike such as carbon and kevlar instead of metal and alloy
Research: We have done research in aerodynamics, weight ratio to stiffness of the frames. This is a totally new method in the electric bicycles industry where those parameters mentioned has not been explored before now with our new Velo Solex bicycle product. Diavelo, Easybike and K&K has the licence rights to use the Velo Solex brand for electric bicycles.
Inspiration: We have been inspired by the original Velo Solex gasoline moped from the year 1946. Then we have converted the old shapes into a modern vehicle with the use of modern materials and an electric drive train from Bosch.
Project Duration: 12 month from first sketch to the final Product. Paris 2019
Operation Flow: The design is developed based on insights collected from 500 end consumers
