About Velo Solex Revival Велосипеди барқӣ

Вело Солекс Ривайвал велосипеди барқиест, ки дар асоси мопеди бензинии аслии Солекс, ки соли 1949 муаррифӣ шуда буд, сохта шудааст. Геометрия ва шакли рамаи он ба намунаи аслии соли 1949 пайравӣ мекунад, дар ҳоле ки рама барои ҷойгир кардани муҳаррики барқӣ ва батарея мутобиқ карда шудааст. Дар сохти он маводи муосир, аз ҷумла алюминий, карбон ва пӯлод истифода шудааст. Маводи сабук ба монанди карбон ва кевлар барои нигоҳ доштани вазни сабук кӯмак мекунанд, ки ин ба хусусияти сабук ва варзишии велосипед мувофиқат мекунад. Андозаи василита 180 см × 55 см × 95 см буда, вазнаш 25 килограммро ташкил медиҳад. Тарҳрезӣ бо истифода аз андешаҳои ҷамъоварда аз 500 истеъмолкунанда таҳия шудааст.

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
