ACICAE would like to invite you to participate in a new BENCHMARK on Electric Bicycle Motors organised by our partner AIC-Automotive Intelligence Center, which will take place on May,22nd from 9.30 am at AIC’s facilities, aimed at analysing the design and manufacturing strategies of different manufacturers in the sector.
During the conference, a comparative analysis will be carried out between engines developed by consolidated manufacturers and those proposed by new emerging players in the market. We will analyse the different types of engines and the main trends, as well as the success factors of a bicycle engine in the market.
A map of the main engine manufacturers, both globally and specifically in the European context, will be presented, detailing their figures, location and strategies/positioning.
The focus will be on seven selected engines, which will be examined and compared in depth. In addition, interactive physical models will be available to directly observe and manipulate each of them, providing a detailed technical analysis in terms of exploded views, design, materials, dimensions and construction architecture.
The main lessons learned and conclusions obtained from this selection of engines will be shared, which will cover both central engines and hub engines, developed by the following manufacturers:
- BOSCH
- SHIMANO
- MAHLE
- BAFANG
- DECATHLON
- TQ
AIC’s technical team has carried out an exhaustive disassembly and technical analysis of the engines, the parts of which will be available for direct observation during the day. This practical experience will be complemented by a presentation by AIC’s Competitive Intelligence team, which will cover the following topics:
- Overview of the bicycle engine industry: different typologies, European market and main trends.
- Main players in the sector: global and European ranking, market shares and players’ matrix.
- Technical benchmarking: comparative analysis of the selected motors, differential characteristics and conclusions.
- Direct access to the physical exploded view: interactive exhibition of the engines analysed.
