1) The document discusses the development of an electric bicycle DIY kit for the Indian market. It provides classifications for different types of electric bicycles and analyzes market growth trends.
2) The proposed DIY kit would allow existing bicycle owners to convert their bicycles to electric, targeting the bottom of the pyramid and untapped potential. Key components of the kit include a motor, battery, controller and pedal assist.
3) Specifications for the kit are provided, including a top speed of 25km/hour and battery range of 35-45km per charge. Additional features like a mobile app and impact sensor are discussed. Progress on design, testing, suppliers and certification is outlined ahead of a planned September 2017
2. ELECTRIC BICYCLES CLASSIFICATION
1. E-bikes with pedal-assist only
2. E-bikes with power-on-demand and pedal-
assist
– Pedelecs (bicycles)
– S-pedelecs (mopeds)
3. E-bikes with power-on-demand only
– Ride by Pedal Power
– Ride by Electric Motor
– Ride using both together
3. WORLD PRODUCTION: MILLIONS ROAD OF VEHICLES 1950 TO
2020 BICYCLES, E-BIKES & PEDELECS: CARS, 4WDS, UTES,
HYBRIDS.
China’s 100 million pedelec/E-bike fleet and 450 million bicycle fleet are already
constraining the growth of transport CO2 emissions, oil imports and pollution in
their cities. The world fleet of E-Bikes, pedelecs is growing fast, compared to the
possible growth of motor vehicles production

4. CHINA GROWTH OF BIKES AND
E BIKE SALES
Greater use of pedelecs is now planned by improving urban bicycle
and PT infrastructure and integrating with high speed rail lines.
Reduce the total road death rate from 6.2 in 2008. by constraining the
demand CO2 imports of oil and cars.

12. WHY THE “DIY ELECTRIC CYCLE KIT”?
• Realization 1
– If we build an electric cycle ourselves, we would be
competing in the same market space as the Existing Large
Indian Cycle manufacturers
• Realization 2
– We wanted to build a “Bottom of the Pyramid” solution as
we see a very large untapped potential from existing cycle
users for a “Conversion Kit” rather than a buying a NEW
electric cycle
• Realization 3
– A “Conversion Kit” has a potential for solution for
converting 3rd Generation Bike-Sharing schemes, hence
has export potential too
