Demonstrated at EUROBIKE 2023 in Frankfurt, the Cocotte e-bike makes use of GaN know-how to free city riders from worrying about battery energy and packing transportable chargers
Sensible-integration, a French pioneer in digital management of gallium nitride (GaN) and GaN ICs for energy provides, and Savoy Group right now introduced the brand new GaN charger for e-bikes embedded with the battery of the brand new electrical bike from KILOW, Savoy Group’s e-mobility division.
Launched at EUROBIKE 2023 at Frankfurt Messe, June 21-25, the urbanized e-bike and onboard charger free riders of two frequent ache factors they face on the streets: working out of energy and packing the added weight of transportable chargers.
The world’s first GaN on-board charger and Sensible-integration’s GaN gadgets for e-bikes are a extremely built-in resolution assembled by Savoy Group.
“Our charger is embedded within the battery itself, making it the lightest, most compact and handy charger available on the market,” stated Sensible-integration CEO Thierry Bouchet. “This know-how permits e-bike customers to simply cost their bikes on the go, wherever they’re.”
Known as Cocotte, the brand new e-bike is designed and manufactured by KILOW, a rebranded gentle e-mobility division of Savoy Group, a French Tier 1 automotive provider. Along with its urbanized e-bike, KILOW’s e-mobility line contains e-bikes for street-and-trail, e-scooters and its new four-wheel off-roader, La Bagnole.
“Sensible-integration’s modern onboard charger locations our city e-bike in a category of its personal,” stated Émile Allamand, CEO of Savoy Group. “Mixed with Cocotte’s automated gearbox that identifies probably the most applicable gear for the scenario and energy of the bicycle owner, and its different options, KILOW packages one of the best of modern applied sciences in light-weight micro-mobility.”
“Sensible-integration’s know-how helps KILOW’s elementary credo: ‘much less is healthier’”, stated Arthur Allamand, advertising and marketing director for the model. “Something we take away, be it weight, electronics or devices, really offers the consumer one thing extra by way of upkeep, ease of use or peace of thoughts”.
Constructing on the success of Cocotte’s novel supply, a mixture of French design and engineering strengths and consciousness of shopper comfort, Bouchet stated Sensible-integration will prolong its GaN merchandise and resolution for power-supply and e-bike producers throughout the European market. Due to the mixture of the WiseWare digital controller and WiseGan, Sensible-integration is ready to enhance energy density that gives extra energy for embedded fast-charging capabilities.
Sensible Integration’ GaN gadgets gives energy electronics designers with new ranges of energy density, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide-bandgap, next-generation semiconductor know-how that has develop into key for improvement of superior energy electronics. It operates as much as 20x sooner than silicon and gives as much as 3x the facility or 3x the cost in half the dimensions and weight of silicon gadgets.
