About Velo Solex Revival Baiskeli ya Umeme
Velo Solex Revival ni baiskeli ya umeme inayotokana na baiskeli asili ya Solex yenye injini ya petroli iliyoanzishwa mwaka 1949. Muundo wa fremu na umbo la fremu vinafuata muundo wa asili wa mwaka 1949, ingawa fremu imerekebishwa ili kubeba injini ya umeme na betri. Vifaa vya kisasa vimetumika, ikiwemo alumini, kabroni na chuma. Vifaa vyepesi kama kabroni na kevlar husaidia kupunguza uzito, jambo linalolingana na tabia nyepesi na ya kimichezo ya baiskeli hii. Chombo hiki kina vipimo vya sentimita 180 kwa sentimita 55 kwa sentimita 95 na kina uzito wa kilogramu 25. Muundo huu uliandaliwa kwa kuzingatia maoni yaliyokusanywa kutoka kwa watumiaji 500.

Behind the Design

- 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.
